Throughout this application, various references are referred to. Disclosures of these publications in their entireties are hereby incorporated by reference into this application to more fully describe the state of the art to which this invention pertains.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Various procedures for treating Parkinson's Disease have been established and many of them are currently in widespread use. European Patent No. 436492B provides a detailed discussion of treatments available and summarizes many of their drawbacks. There remains a need for a drug therapy that provides a prolonged and sustained amelioration of the symptoms associated with Parkinson's Disease.
A variety of substituted 1-aminoindans have been proposed to have some activity in the central nervous system (CNS). This group of compounds have a wide range of activities, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,096,173 discloses 1-aminoindans with ring chloro substituents as having anti-allergic, anti-spasmodic and local anesthetic activities, whereas U.S. Pat. No. 3,886,168 discloses the anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory activity of certain 1-aminomethylindans. It is hypothesized therein that the activity may be based in the CNS though no evidence is provided or suggested to support the hypothesis. British Patent No. 852,735 discloses 1-aminoindans with a lower alkoxy group in the 5 position as being active in dilating coronary blood vessels.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,637,740 discloses 4-alkoxy-5-chloro-1-aminoindans as anti-depressants or anti-anxiety agents, although no clear evidence is provided of either activity.
Horn et al. (J. Pharm. Exp. Ther. 1972 180(3) 523) have shown that 2-aminoindan is a far superior inhibitor of catecholamine uptake than 1-aminoindan and therefore dismissed the latter as a candidate for use in the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. Martin et al. (J. Med. Chem. 1973 16(2) 147 & J. Med. Chem 1974 17(4) 409) describe experiments wherein N-methyl-5-methoxy derivatives of 1-aminoindan are investigated as having monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory activity.
Oshiro et al. (J. Med. Chem. 1991 34 2004-2013) disclose a wide range of 7-hydroxy-1-aminoindan derivatives that they subjected to screening for use as a cerebroprotective agent using an antihypoxic test and as a CNS stimulatory agent using a cerebral trauma test. In the resultant structure-activity-analysis undertaken it was found that replacement of the 7-hydroxy group by a methoxy group resulted in loss of activity in the antihypoxic test but not in the cerebral trauma test. Their conclusion was that the 7-hydroxy group is essential to obtain the desired activity. This is evident from their subsequent paper wherein a broader range of 7-hydroxy derivatives are screened (J. Med. Chem 1991 34 2014-2020). These 7-hydroxy-1-aminoindans are defined in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,788,130, 4,792,628, 4,895,847, 5,055,474 and 5,242919 all assigned to Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Japan.
It has surprisingly been found that a range of substituted and unsubstituted 1-aminoindans have activity in suppressing the symptoms emanating from the dopaminergic hypofunction that is associated with Parkinson's Disease; in improving cognition in dementias such as senile dementia, Parkinson-type dementia and dementia of the Alzheimer's type; in providing protection against epilepsy, convulsions, seizures; and in improving post-head trauma motor function, and reducing trauma-induced cerebral oedema.
The present invention also relates to a process for the synthesis of optically active aminoindan derivatives that have been described as possessing utility in the treatment of Parkinson's Disease, dementia, epilepsy, convulsions or seizures.
Several methods of preparing optically active derivatives of 1-aminoindan have been described in the art which include, for example, the method of Lawson and Rao, Biochemistry, 19, 2133 (1980), methods in references cited therein, and the method of European patent No. 235, 590.
Optically active compounds containing an amine group attached to a chiral carbon atom may be prepared by the resolution of a racemic mixture of the R and S enantiomers. Such a resolution can be accomplished by resolution methods well known to a person skilled in the art, such as the formation of diastereomeric salts with chiral acids, or those described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,833,273, issued May 23, 1989 (Goel) and those listed in J. Jacques, A. Collet and S. Wilen, "Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions" Wiley, N.Y. (1981) such as tartaric, malic, mandelic acid, or N-acetyl derivatives of amino acids, such as N-acetyl leucine, followed by re-crystallization to isolate the diastereomeric salt of the desired enantiomer.
Kipping and Hall, J. Chem. Soc.(1901) 79 430, succeeded in the formation of diastereomeric alpha-bromocamphor-sulphonic acid salts of the compound N-benzyl-1-aminoindan. Isolation of the individual enantiomers by the addition of barium hydroxide failed and the racemate was obtained.
The preparation of the S enantiomer of the benzoate salt of N-benzyl-1-aminoindan from (S)-1-aminoindan has been described by Takaneda S et al. JCS Perkin II (1978) 95-99.
It is an object of this invention to provide an economical, commercially useful method for preparing optically active enantiomers of 1-aminoindan and derivatives thereof.
It has been surprisingly observed that by using a particular resolving agent on a particular class of 1-aminoindan derivative, a resolution is effected that produces high yields of optically active enantiomer.

Experimental Details
A. SYNTHESIS OF COMPOUNDS
Preparation of 1-Aminoindans
The R-1-aminoindan starting material can be prepared by methods known in the art which include, by way of example, the method of Lawson and Rao, Biochemistry, 19, 2133 (1980), methods in references cited therein, and the method of European Patent No. 235,590.
R-1-aminoindan can also be prepared by resolution of a racemic mixture of the R and S enantiomers, which involves, for example, the formation of diastereomeric salts with chiral acids, or any other known method such as those reported in J. Jacques, et al., ibid. Alternatively, R-1-aminoindan may be prepared by reacting 1-indanone with an optically active amine, followed by reduction of the carbon nitrogen double bond of the resulting imine by hydrogenation over a suitable catalyst, such as palladium on carbon, platinum oxide or Raney nickel. Suitable optically active amines include, for example, one of the antipodes of phenethylamine or an ester of an amino acid, such as valine or phenylalanine. The benzylic N-C bond may be cleaved subsequently by hydrogenation under non-vigorous conditions.
An additional method for preparing R-1-aminoindan is the hydrogenation of indan-1-one oxime ethers as described above, wherein the alkyl portion of the ether contains an optically pure chiral center. Alternatively, a non-chiral derivative of indan-1-one containing a carbon-nitrogen double bond, such as an imine or oxime, can be reduced with a chiral reducing agent, e.g., a complex of lithium aluminum-hydride and ephedrine.
Resolution of Enantiomers
The R- and S- enantiomers of each compound may be obtained by optical resolution of the corresponding racemic mixtures. Such a resolution can be accomplished by any conventional resolution method well known to a person skilled in the art, such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,833,273, issued May 23, 1989 (Goel) and in J. Jacques, A. Collet and S. Wilen, "Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions," Wiley, N.Y. (1981). For example, the resolution may be carried out by preparative chromatography on a chiral column. Another example of a suitable resolution method is the formation of diastereomeric salts with a chiral acid such as tartaric, malic, mandelic acid or N-acetyl derivatives of amino acids, such as N-acetyl leucine, followed by recrystallization to isolate the diastereomeric salt of the desired R enantiomer.
The racemic mixture of R and S enantiomers of N-propargyl-1-aminoindan (PAI) may be prepared, for example, as described in GB 1,003,676 and GB 1,037,014. The racemic mixture of PAI can also be prepared by reacting 1-chloroindan with propargylamine. Alternatively, this racemate may be prepared by reacting propargylamine with 1-indanone to form the corresponding imine, followed by reduction of the carbon-nitrogen double bond of the imine with a suitable agent, such as sodium borohydride.
The 1-aminoindans of general formula 1 where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as indicated and R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are hydrogen may be prepared by the chemical reduction of the relevant oximes, by means of zinc/acetic acid or by catalytic hydrogenation. The oximes may be prepared by reaction of the corresponding indan-1-ones with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The indan-1-ones may be prepared by Friedal-Crafts cyclization of substituted dihydrocinnamic acids or the corresponding chlorides using aluminum trichloride or other Lewis acids, such as polyphosphoric acid or methanesulphonic acid as condensing agents, for example according to procedures described in J. Org. Chem. 46, 2974 (1981) and in J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans, 1, 151 (1972).
N-methyl-1-aminoindan may be prepared from 1-aminoindan according to the procedure described in J. Med. Chem. 9, 830 (1966).
N,N-dimethyl-1-aminoindan may be prepared from 1-aminoindan according to the procedure described in Yakugaku Zasshi, 82 1597 (1962)--Chem. Abs. 59 611f. N-formyl and N-acyl derivatives of 1-aminoindan and 1-aminotetralin may be prepared from the corresponding 1-aminoindan or 1-aminotetralin using the methods described in J. Med. Chem. 9, 830 (1966), J. Chromatog. 502, 154 (1990) or Boll. Chim. Farm. 115, 489 (1976).
The compounds of general formula 1, where R.sub.4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and R.sub.5 is C(O)--R.sub.6, and R.sub.6 is A--NR.sub.9 R.sub.10 are indanylamides of amino acids, and may be prepared by procedures known to those skilled in the art, for example, by reacting the aminoindan with an activated form of the amino acid in the presence or absence (as necessary) of acylation catalysts such as 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine.
Thus the aminoindan is reacted with an amino acid anhydride having the amino terminus protected by a suitable radical such as t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), in the presence of for example DMAP, in an aprotic organic solvent such as THF, at a temperature within the range of 0-50 C., preferably from 25-40 C., for a period of from 1-24 hours, preferably from 5-10 hours.
Alternatively, the 1-aminoindan may be reacted with an N-hydroxy succinimide ester of an amino acid having the terminal amino group protected as above, in an aprotic solvent such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME), at a temperature within the range of 0-70 C., preferably from 25-50 C., for a period of from 12-48 hours, preferably from 24-36 hours.
The product may be purified by column chromatography and/or by crystallization. Removal of the protecting group may be accomplished by subjecting said group to acidic conditions for example to hydrochloric acid or trifluoroacetic acid in a suitable organic solvent such as isopropanol or dioxane. The desired products are then obtained as their acid addition salts.
The compounds of general formula 1 wherein R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 are hydrogen or lower alkyl, R.sub.4 is hydrogen and R.sub.5 is Y--C(O)--R.sub.7 and R.sub.7 is NR9R10, are N-indanyl derivatives of amino acid amides, and may be prepared by reacting the relevant amino acid amide with a 1-halogeno-indan or with a 1-indanone. In the latter case, the resulting Schiff base is further reduced, by a suitable reducing agent such as sodium borohydride, to afford the desired amine.
Alternatively these compounds may be prepared by reacting the 1-aminoindan with an omega-halogeno derivative of the relevant amino acid amide, in an alcoholic solvent such as ethanol in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate, at a temperature within the range of 50-100 C., preferably at the reflux temperature of the solvent, for a period of from 12-36 hours, preferably 24 hours. The product may then be converted into its acid addition salt. The R and S enantiomers of each of these compounds may be resolved using procedures known to those skilled in the art.

B. EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE 1:
Effect of 1-Aminoindans in an Experimental Model of Dopaminergic Hypofunction
Experiments 1A and 1B. Alpha-MpT-induced hypokinesia in hypoxic rat
Procedure
Experiment 1A
Wistar male rats, 15-19 month-old, were exposed to a single hypoxic episode which is assumed to decrease the level of dopamine in the brain. Four to five rats were kept for six hours in a glass chamber equipped with an inlet and outlet tubes for the admission of an atmosphere of premixed nitrogen (92%) and oxygen (8%) at a flow rate of 3L/min. Control rats received room air from a compressed tank under similar conditions.
1-R-aminoindan HCl (hereinafter R-AI) or deprenyl (an MAO B inhibitor) were administered to the rats immediately following the conclusion of the hypoxic episode at the standard dose of 0.5 mg/kg/Day for 70-80 days. Given the different ratios of amine to salt in these compounds, the dose of free amine (the active species) corresponding to 0.5 mg/kg salt is actually 0.39 mg/kg for R-AI and 0.42 mg/kg for deprenyl. The drugs were administered by gavage, using a special syringe equipped with rounded tip that could be directed into the stomach. The dose was contained in 0.3-0.5 mL of distilled water.
The rats were pretreated for 70-80 days with daily doses of the test drugs and received intra-peritoneal (i.p.) .alpha.-MpT (.alpha.-methyl-p-tyrosine) at a dose of 100 mg/kg in 0.3-0.5 mL saline. Controls received saline. .alpha.-MpT is assumed to inhibit the formation of L-Dopa from tyrosine and, consequently the formation of dopamine itself. Lack of central dopamine is expressed as hypokinesia.
Following the injection of .alpha.-MpT, motor activity was recorded for the duration of 10 hours.
Locomotion scores were taken in seven fully-computerized cages (26.times.25 cm) having a grid of infra-red beams at 4 cm-intervals.
Crossing of a beam initiated an electric signal which was fed into a computer. The number of crossings over a given period provided a measure of locomotion.
The records gave two data categories: (a) "small movements" originating in stationary activities such as grooming and
scratching and (b) "big movements" originating in ambulation and recorded as the simultaneous crossing of more than two beams. "Total movements" include both categories.
Counts of motor activity in the presence of .alpha.-MpT were related as percent with respect to counts in its absence in the corresponding control group (unlesioned or hypoxia-lesioned). Motor activity counts of drug-treated rats were related to the hypoxia saline-treated as 100%. All behavioral tests were performed 90-120 min. after administration of the last dose of the test compound.
Results
Experiment 1A
"Total movements" after .alpha.-MpT are given in Table 1 and FIGS. 1 and 2. In FIGS. 1 and 2, hours after alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine injection are given on the x-axis and percent response as compared to the relevant control is given on the y-axis. FIG. 1 shows the effect the hypoxic episode had as compared to the control animals, whereas FIG. 2 shows the effect the drug treated group compared to the untreated hypoxic group.

Control rats underwent two phases of hypokinesia. The first at hour 1-2 after .alpha.-MpT followed by full recovery and rebound at hour 3. Then, another phase of hypokinesia at hours 6-7 followed by full recovery to control level at hours 7-8.
In the hypoxic group, the decrease in motor activity was more pronounced during the first phase at hours 1-2, with some recovery at hour 4, followed by a second phase of hypokinesia which lasted till hour 10 with no signs of recovery.
Hypoxic rats that had been pretreated with R-AI or deprenyl behaved similarly (FIG. 2). In either case the two-phase cyclic pattern of depression-rebound-depression found for .alpha.-MpT-treated hypoxic controls could be observed. However, the level of activity of the R-AI and deprenyl-treated groups was much higher than the corresponding control group controls. In fact, in either case the levels and fluctuations of motor activity were not different from hypoxia-unlesioned control rats that had received .alpha.-MpT alone.

.alpha.-MpT produced a paradoxical effect in control rats, with outbursts of hyperkinesia which lasted for as long as ten hours after an initial small decrease in activity which may not be significant.
In contradistinction, hypoxia-lesioned rats were hypokinetic for as long as ten hours with no signs of recovery. R-AI corrected the hypokinetic syndrome in the hypoxia group, bringing the level of activity almost to that seen in the control hypoxia-unlesioned group. There were at least three outbursts of hyperactivity during he ten hour-observation period. Deprenyl was less effective in this respect, with outbursts of hyperactivity alternating with periods of depression.
Experiment 1B
The procedure of Experiment 1A was repeated with the following changes:
(1) Animal: 11-14 month-old rats.
(2) Drug treatment: R-AI and deprenyl at a daily dose of 0.3 mg/Kg in 0.2 mL. The drugs were given i.p.
(3) Duration of the treatment: 21 days.
(4) Dose of .alpha.-MpT: 70 mg/Kg.
Results
Experiment 1B
Total movements after .alpha.-MpT are given in Table 3 and FIG. 5. The score of big movements is given in Table 4 and FIG. 6.In FIGS. 5 and 6 hours after alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine injection are given on the x-axis and percent response as compared to the relevant control is given on the y-axis. FIG. 5 shows the fate of the groups treated with R-AI or deprenyl as compared to the hypoxic group over the first four hours, with respect to total movements. FIG. 6 shows the same data with respect to big movements. Antagonism to .alpha.-MpT by R-AI and deprenyl is best perceived within the 2-4 hours after the .alpha.-MpT injection as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. Note that in the first hour the level of motor activity (total movements) of R-AI treated rats was almost normal (80%), but not in the hypoxic group (50%). None of the drugs was active at the second phase of hypokinesia, except deprenyl which showed some activity.

Discussion of Experiments 1A and 1B
Experiment 1A demonstrates the ability of R-AI to correct a syndrome of dopaminergic hypofunction associated with Parkinson's Disease to an extent at least comparable, or in some instances better than that of deprenyl. This effect was also evident in the first 2-4 hours of Experiment 1B. This experiment was carried out over a shorter period than Experiment 1A, using a lower dosage of R-AI on a separate population of animals Both these experiments indicate that 1-aminoindans of formula 1 have a role in the treatment of Parkinson's Disease.
Experiment 1C
The procedure of Experiment 1A was repeated with the following changes:
(1) Animal: 11-14 month-old rats.
(2) Drug treatment: Test compounds were administered at the dosages indicated, as a single i.p. dose 1 hour prior to .alpha.-MpT (150 mg/kg).
(3) Animals were placed in an activity cage immediately after drug administration and total movements were measured for the following 10 hours.
The drugs tested with reference to the relevant Chemical Example No were:
(R)-1-aminoindan, (RAI), 0.8 mg/kg, n=5
4,5-dimethoxy-1-aminoindan, (31), 0.8 mg/kg, n=6
6-fluoro-(R)-1-aminoindan, (FAI), 1.2 mg/kg, n=3
(R)-N-acetyl-1-aminoindan, (18), 0.8 mg/kg, n=2
(R)-6-hydroxy-1-aminoindan, (35), 1.2 mg/kg, n=3
The results are shown in FIG. 8 from which it can be seen that all compounds tested antagonized the .alpha.-Mpt-induced hypokinesia.
EXAMPLE 2
Effect of 1-Aminoindans on Amphetamine-Induced Stereotype Behavior in Hypoxic Rat
Procedure
Experiment 2A.
Wistar male rats, 15-19 month-old, were exposed to a single hypoxic episode as described above. R-AI or deprenyl were administered to the rats at the same dose and method used in Example 1A. Rats pretreated for 29 days with daily doses of the test drugs (0.5 mg/kg), received a sub-cutaneous (s.c.) injection of
D-amphetamine sulfate at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg.
D-amphetamine is known to cause an enhancement of the effects of CNS dopamine by a mechanism involving dopamine release, and blockage of its uptake and its metabolism by MAO. The behavioral manifestation of amphetamine action is a stereotypic pattern of lateral head movements. Counts of lateral head movements were taken over two successive intervals of 1 min each, 45-60 min after the injection of amphetamine and then averaged.
Experiment 2B
The procedure of the second Experiment 2B was similar to the one used in Experiment 2A with the following changes:
1) Animals: 12 month-old rats.
2) Drug treatment: R-AI and deprenyl at a daily dose of 0.3 mg/kg in 0.2 mL. The drugs were given by i.p. injection.
3) Duration of the treatment: 14 days.
Experiment 2C
The procedure of Experiment 2A was repeated with the following changes:
1) None of the rats had previously been exposed to a hypoxic episode.
2) Test compounds were administered as a single treatment, at a dose of 1.2 mg/kg (base equivalents) 60 minutes prior to D-amphetamine sulphate (0.6 mg/kg s.c.).
3) Scores of No of head movements were taken 45 minutes after amphetamine injection.
The compounds tested were, referring to the relevant Chemical Example No.:
(R)-N-acetyl-1-aminoindan (18),
(R)-4,5-dimethoxy-1-aminoindan (29),
(R)-1-aminoindan (R-AI),
(R)-6-hydroxy-1-aminoindan (35),
(R)-6-fluoro-1-aminoindan (R-FAI),
(S)-4,5-dimethoxy-1-aminoindan (30).
Results
The results of Experiment 2A are shown in Table 5. Table 5 shows the total number of lateral head movements per minute for each of the experimental groups.

In the hypoxic group, pretreatment with R-AI produced a significant potentiation of the stereotypic behavior induced by amphetamine with respect to their respective control (hypoxia and amphetamine). Under the same conditions, deprenyl pretreatment did not potentiate amphetamine-induced stereotypicity. Drug-untreated hypoxic rats were more active than drug-untreated control rats, owing perhaps to the development of dopamine hypersensitivity in response to presynaptic dopamine deficiency.
The same test was repeated on day 60 of drug treatment in order to check for a possible tolerance to the test compounds that might have developed over time. The results were not different from those found on day 29. In Experiment 2B pretreatment with R-AI produced a significant potentiation of stereotypic behavior as measured by lateral head movements, but not deprenyl. This is shown in Table 6.

The results of Experiment 2C are shown in FIG. 9 from which it can be seen that all compounds tested produced a potentiation of the stereotypic behavior induced by amphetamine.
Discussion of Experiments 2A and 2B
Stereotypic behavior is not caused by amphetamine itself, but by the enhancement of the effect of released dopamine through a combination of effects: release, uptake inhibition and MAO inhibition.
Both Experiments 2A and 2B have demonstrated that R-AI, unlike deprenyl, can greatly enhance the effect of amphetamine.
Since the effect of potentiation of stereotype behavior is assumed to be mediated by CNS dopamine, then pretreatment with R-AI must have been instrumental in the restoration of presynaptic dopamine levels after the hypoxic insult, thus further demonstrating that 1-aminoindans have a role in correcting the symptoms associated with Parkinson's Disease.
EXAMPLE 3
Experimental Model for Cognitive Function: Passive Avoidance Test in Hypoxic Rat
Procedure
Experiment 3A
Wistar male rats, 15-19 month-old, were exposed to a single hypoxic episode as described above. R-AI or deprenyl were administered to the rats at the same dose and method used in the .alpha.-MpT model. The passive avoidance test was performed on day 13 after initiation the drug treatment. The apparatus consisted of a lit chamber that can be separated from a dark chamber by a sliding door. At training, a rat is placed in the lit chamber for 30 seconds, then the door is opened. The rat moves to the dark chamber after a short delay--the latency, that is recorded. Upon entry into the dark chamber, the door is shut closed and a 0.3 -mA footshock is delivered for 3 seconds by a Grass S-88 stimulator. Retention of the experience is determined after 48 hours by repeating the test and recording the latency to an arbitrary maximum of 300 seconds. Longer latencies are ascribed to retention of memory and improved cognition.
Results
The latency, in seconds, is shown in Table 7. Pretreatment of the hypoxic rats with R-AI improved their performance to control level. In contrast, deprenyl-treated hypoxic rats showed no improvement.

Experiment 3B: WATER MAZE WORKING MEMORY TEST
The apparatus used consists of a circular water tank 160 cm in diameter filled with water to a depth of 38 cm. The water was made cloudy by the addition of milk powder. A clear Plexiglass 15 cm platform, supported by a movable stand rest on the bottom of the tank was submerged to a depth of 2 cm from the water surface. Normally a swimming rat cannot perceive the location of the platform but it may recall it from a previous experience and training, unless it suffers from some memory impairment. The time taken to locate the platform is measured in seconds and referred to as the latency. During the experiment all orientational cues such as ceiling lights etc. remained unchanged. Longer latencies are observed with rats with some impairment to their memory.
As described above the rats were exposed to a hypoxic episode and R-AI was administered to rats daily as described in Experiment 1A.
Each rat was given two trails a day for four days, entering the pool from the same point of entry each day. The position of the platform was changed daily to one of four predetermined positions. Each rat was tested twice each day over the four days, referred to as runs 1 and 2 on sessions I-IV. Initially the rat was placed on the platform for 60 seconds. It was then removed and placed at the point of entry and allowed a maximum of 120 seconds to locate the platform (run 1). The second run for that day followed 60 seconds later (run 2). In the second run the rat is expected to find the platform much sooner, having benefitted from its earlier experience. Performance is assumed to represent the rate of acquisition from the more recent experience, hence this is termed working memory. The average latency of run 1 in four sessions on four different days was then related to the corresponding parameter of run 2. The smaller the ratio of run 1/run 2, the better the short range learning score.
Results
The results are given in Table 8 and FIG. 7. Performance of the hypoxia group was inferior to that of the control group in sessions I-III, but did not improve in session IV.
Among the R-AI-treated hypoxia group tended towards superior performance to the hypoxia group.

Discussion of Experiments 3A and 3B
In learning and memory tests, normal performance in the passive avoidance response is generally related to unimpaired cholinergic function. For example, treatment with the potent muscarinic antagonist scopolamine results in amnesia in humans and an inferior performance in passive avoidance in rats. Tacrine, a cholinesterase inhibitor, has been reported recently to be of value in the restoration of memory in senile dementia patients of the Alzheimer type and kainic acid-lesioned rats. In addition, chronic administration of tacrine improved performance in the passive avoidance test of anoxia-lesioned rats (see FIG. 7 in Speiser et al. 1989 Neuropharm. 28(12) 1325-1332).
These findings demonstrated that R-AI can correct a syndrome of cognitive dysfunction and loss of memory which are prevalent in dementia's such as senile dementia, Parkinson-type dementia and dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
EXAMPLE 4
Effect of Aminoindans on Neurotrauma
Experiment 4A. The effect of 1-aminoindans following closed head injury in rats
Methods
1. Induction of trauma
Head trauma was induced in male rats under ether anesthesia by a well calibrated drop weight device. The weight falls over the exposed skull, covering the left cerebral hemisphere, 1-2 mm lateral to the midline in the midcoronal plane. A detailed description of this method is given in Shohami et al. J. Neurotrauma 1993 10(2) 109.
2. Evaluation of motor function
One hour after the induction of trauma the rats were tested by a set of criteria to evaluate their neurological status. These criteria are listed in Shohami supra as is the scoring method thereof which is referred to as the Neurological Severity Status (NSS). Points are given based on the absence of these criteria, thus a high NSS indicates a highly traumatized rat whereas a low NSS indicates a non-traumatized rat. Consequently a high ANSS indicates that a good recovery has occurred. The rats were re-evaluated 24 hours after the induction of trauma.
3. Evaluation of brain oedema
After the second evaluation of motor function, the animals were sacrificed and the brains were removed. A piece of tissue was weighed to yield a wet weight (WW), then dried in an oven for 24 hours at 95.degree. C. and re-weighed to yield a dry weight(DW). Percentage water content in the tissue was calculated as (WW-DW).times.100/WW.
4. Drug treatment
1-R-aminoindan (RAI) was dissolved in water and injected into the rats by an intra-peritoneal route at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg at 0, 4, 8, and 12 hours post-trauma. The control group received similar volumes of water at the same times.
Results
Table 9 below shows the NSS scores taken 1 hour and 24 hours post-trauma. ANSS is the change in NSS over that time.

From Table 9 it is clear that the 1-aminoindanes have a role in improving post-trauma motor function and in decreasing the trauma induced cerebral oedema. This latter point is more relevant when considering that the normal non-traumatized brain has a water content of 78.5% (see Shohami et al. page 116, FIG. 2). Thus the activity of RAI shown above represents a 50% reduction in trauma-induced oedema.
Experiment 4B
The method of Experiment 1A was repeated with RAI and 1-S-aminoindan (SAI) being administered at a 0.1 mg/kg dosage once a day for a period of 14 days. NSS assessment was performed at 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days and 14 days. The results are shown in Table 10 below from which it can be seen that aminoindans have an improved effect on post trauma motor function when administered over a prolonged period and that RAI can restore almost complete motor function to a traumatized rat.

The method above was repeated using a range of doses of RAI from 0.03 mg/kg to 3 mg/kg. The results are shown in the same manner as above in Table 11 from which it is evident that a maximal response was observed at 0.3 mg/kg and this level of response was retained thereafter.

Experiment 4D
The method of Experiment 4A was repeated using a 1 mg/kg dosage of RAI at the time of trauma induction (t=0) and at different times thereafter e.g. 4 hr, 8 hr and 12 hr after trauma induction, i.e. a total of only two treatments. An addition control comparison was performed administering RAI at 0, 4, 8 and 12 hours. The results are shown in Table 12 below from which it can be seen that both regardless of the number and timing of administration, all treated groups showed the same degree of improvement of both NSS and oedema.

In order to obtain an idea as to the effective "therapeutic window" during which RAI can be given and still be effective, Experiment 4A was repeated giving RAI at 1 mg/kg 1, 2 or 3 hours post induction of head trauma. As shown in Table 13 below RAI was still effective even if given 3 hours after the induction of head trauma.

Rate of MAO inhibition
The brains of some rats from each experimental group in Exp. 1 (chronic treatment of 80 days) and Exp. 2 (acute treatment of 14 days) were ex vivo analyzed for MAO-A and MAO-B activity. Results are shown in Table 14 below.
TABLE 14______________________________________ % inhibition of MAO A % inhibition of MAO B chronic acute chronic acuteTreatment treatment treatment treatment treatment______________________________________R-AI 6 13 44 21deprenyl 23 18 90 89______________________________________
Chronic or acute treatment of R-AI does not have an effect on MAO-A activity. These findings also indicate that only chronic treatment of RAI can partially inhibit the MAO-B activity. As expected, acute or chronic treatment with deprenyl can strongly and selectively inhibit the activity of MAO-B.
EXAMPLE 5
Anticonvulsive Activity of Aminoindans
Compounds provided herein were screened for their ability to protect against electrical and chemically induced convulsions. The standard electrically induced test model is the Maximal electroshock (MES) model. This model is used to show efficacy for antiepileptic agents against generalized and partial seizures. The standard model for chemically induced seizures is the subcutaneous pentylenetetrazol (s.c.Met) seizure threshold test model. This model is used to show efficacy for agents against absence seizures. In these studies, convulsions were administration in rats after oral (p.o.) administration, and/or in mice after intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of the compound. Both the MES and s.c.Met models are described in E. A. Swinyard et al., in "Antiepileptic Drugs" E. R. H. Levy et al., Raven Press, New York (1985). The methods described therein were followed in the present examples.
Results

The racemic and individual enantiomers of 1-aminoindan showed activity in the MES model, indicating an activity in generalized and partial seizures. Surprisingly, there were significant differences between the activities of the (R)aand (S) enantiomers. In the MES test in rats, whereas the racemic compound A had an median effective dose of 36 mg/kg, the (R) enantiomer B had an ED50 of 184. The ED50 of the (S) enantiomer C was 17. This difference was also observed in mice. The (R) isomer had an ED50 of 80, whereas the (S) isomer had an ED50 of 18.
An activity against generalized and partial seizures was also observed in with N-acetyl analogs of 1-aminoindan. Compound 18 ((R)-N-acetyl aminoindan) had an ED50 of 14 in the MES test in rats, and 31 in mice. This value in rats is approximately 35 times lower than that observed for valproic acid, 2 times lower than that found for phenytoin and 1.6 times that found for Carbamazepine. As these three agents are considered to be the drugs of choice for generalized an partial epilepsy, efficacy against these seizures are also indicated for this compound and the other compounds specified as active in the application. Compound 19 ((S) -N-acetylaminoindan) had an ED50 of 24 in MES test in rats, and 40 in mice. These compounds also showed activity in the s.c. Met model in mice, which is representative of absence seizures. Compound 18 had an ED50 of 66, whereas Compound 19 had an ED50 of 86.
The high activity observed with the above compounds was also observed when the 1-amino moiety was substituted with a glycinamide moiety. As with the 1-aminoindan compounds, the glycinamide analogs also showed differences between the (R) and (S) enantiomers, and whether the compound was the HCl salt of free base. Compound 2 ((R)-Indanylglycinamide-free base) had an ED50 of 21 in rats and 39 in mice. D ((R)-Indanylglycinamide-HCl salt) had an ED50 in rats of 105 and 83 in mice.
Compounds were also found to be active when the 1-amino moiety was substituted with propargyl moiety. The compounds were also found to be active whether they were HCl or mesylate salts. E ((R)-Propargylaminoindan-HCl) had an ED50 less than 50 in rats and 79 in mice. G (S)-Propargyl aminoindan had an ED50 of 57 in rats and mice. The mesylate salt of this compound H also had an ED50 of 50 or less in mice and rats in the MES test.
Activity was also found with compounds in which the 1-amino moiety was substituted with aliphatic side chains. Compound 14 ((S)-N-methyl aminoindan) showed activity in the MES test in both rats (ED50=94) and mice (ED50<100).
Fluorinated analogs of 1-aminoindan also had activity in the MES test. "I" has approximately the same efficacy. J had a better efficacy profile. The ED50 was less than 50 in rats, 3 times more efficacious than that observed for B. K also showed activity in the MES model in mice. Compound 5 also showed activity in mice in the MES model. L also showed activity in mice in this model.
Hydroxylated analogs of 1-aminoindan, also show activity in the MES model. Compound 34 (6-hydroxy analog of 1-aminoindan) showed activity in the MES test in mice.
Activity in the MES model was also observed in methoxy analogs of 1-aminoindan. Compound 31 (4,5 dimethoxy 1-aminoindan) showed activity in the mice.
In addition, amino tetralins also showed activity in the MES mode. M (1-amino tetralin) had an ED50 of less than 50 in rats and less than 100 in mice. Substitution on the 1-amino group with glycinamide also showed activity in mice.
EXAMPLE 6
Neurotoxicity and Protective Index
Neurotoxicity of the claimed agents was also assessed in mice (i.p. administration) by the rotorod ataxia test and/or in rats (p.o. administration) by positional sense test and gait stance test. See E. A. Swinyard, et al., in "Antiepileptic Drugs," ed. by R. H. Levy, et al., Raven Press, New York, at 85-200 (1989). The term quantitating the neurotoxicity is the medial neurological toxic dose (TD50), was determined in the above tests. The results obtained in mg/kg are shown in the relevant positions of Tables 15 and 16. In some of the species, the TD50 was only determined to be above a certain level, indicating a lower neurotoxicity than specified.
The Protective Index (PI) is defined as the ratio of TD50 and ED50 (PI=TD50/ED50). The PI is used to show a useful separation between neurotoxicity and antiepileptic activity. The larger the PI, the better the separation between the neurotoxic and efficacious doses. The preferred embodiment of this application is therefore those compounds in which we have already demonstrated a PI>1 in the MES model of one of the species tested. Where the TD50 is only listed as greater than a particular value, the PI will represent a minimum value, and therefore a better index.
The racemic 1-aminoindan analog A and the individual enantiomers B and C had PI values in rats of >4.7, 2.7 and >29.4, respectively. The PI values of the N-acetyl analogs Compound 17 and Compound 16 was >20.8, and >35.7 respectively. The PI values of the N-glycinamide analogs Compound 1 and Compound 2 is >1, and >23.
EXAMPLE 7
Effect of Aminoindans on Mice Having Experienced a Hypobaric Hypoxic Episode
The hypobaric hypoxic model is a well accepted model for assessing the activity of compounds believed to possess neuroprotective activity. The model is based on that described in Nakanishi M et al. Life Sci. (1973) 13, 467, Oshiro et al., J. Med. Chem. (1991) 34, 2004-2013 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,788,130.
A 121 desiccator (desiccator A) and a 2.51 desiccator (desiccator B) were separately connected to a vacuum pump. Desiccator B was disconnected and allowed to equilibrate with room air whilst desiccator A was evacuated to a pressure of 100 mmHg. Four male ICR albino mice (22-28 g) were placed in desiccator B. Desiccator B was then closed to room air and connected to desiccator A. The pressure inside desiccator B was monitored using a mercury manometer and at the point were the pressure in desiccator B reached 200 mmHg (usually within 14 seconds), the two desiccators were disconnected from the vacuum pump and the pump switched off. The survival time from the moment of induction of hypoxia to the time of cessation of respiration was recorded for each mouse for a maximum of 15 minutes after which time room air was reintroduced to desiccator B. Survivors were monitored for signs of lethargy or vitality.
Effect of drug treatment was assessed as the percent of the survival time of the drug treated group with respect to the saline injected or vehicle injected control group. Control groups were run twice, before and after each experimental group and consisted of 12-16 mice in groups of 4 mice. Each experimental group always consisted of 4 mice to ensure a constant residual volume of oxygen in all tests. The effect of each dose of test drug was determined in duplicate i.e. two groups of 4 mice. The range of survival times of control mice was from 108-180 seconds.
All drugs were administered intra-peritoneally at the dose indicated one hour prior to exposure to hypoxia. Reference drugs were administered as follows; sodium pentobarbital, 20 or 40 mg/kg given 0.5 hour prior to hypoxia, diazepam, 5 or 10 mg/kg given 0.5 hour prior to hypoxia.
The results are shown in Tables 17 and 18 below.

EXPERIMENT 8
Cultures of Mechanically Dissociated Neonatal Rat Cerebellum
A. Reversal of NMDA induced cell death
The cerebellum was aseptically dissociated from 6 or 7-day old rat pups and placed in a 15 ml sterile plastic conical tube containing 3 ml of Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) with a high glucose concentration (1 g/ml) and 2 mM (v/v) L-glutamine and an antibiotic antimitotic mixture. The cerebella were then dissociated after 20-25 passages through a sterile 13 gauge, 10 cm long stainless steel needle attached to a 5 ml syringe with an inserted 45 micrometer pore nylon sieve. The dissociated cells were centrifuged at 200 g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and the cells resuspended in medium enriched with 15% (v/v) heat inactivated fetal calf serum. Cell viability was determined by the tryptan blue exclusion test.
Cells were plated at a density of 200/mm.sup.2 on poly-L-lysine coated surfaces. Poly-L-lysine coated glass coverslips were prepared at least one hour in advance of plating by immersing sterile coverslips in sterile distilled water solution containing 15 microgram/ml poly-L-lysine, and washing in sterile water just prior to use. The plated cells were covered with enriched medium and incubated at 37.degree. C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO.sub.2 in air and 97% humidity. After three days in culture, the media was replaced with media containing the desired test compound. Each test compound was tested in duplicate. Toxic-dose response was determined for each compound.
Four groups were run in each set of experiments;
I. Control, consisting of enriched media alone,
II. N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA, 1 mM for 3 hours) as the cytotoxic challenge,
III. Test compound plus NMDA, and
IV. Positive control, spermine(0.01 micromoles) plus NMDA.
Nerve cell survival was evaluated by phase contrast microscopy and tryptan blue staining after 24 hours.
Results
The results are shown in Table 19 below. Surviving cells in culture are measured relative to control (100%) as described above. Percent protection is the Cell Survival for the test compound minus the NMDA effect. Thus, maximal protection is 100% minus 30% NMDA effect i.e. 70%. The Effective Protection was calculated as the percent of the Percent Protection (X) divided by the maximal protection value (e.g. X.times.100/70).

In a separate experiment wherein the Maximum Protection possible was 90%, compound C (1-S-aminoindan) displayed an Effective Protection value of 43% at 0.01 .mu.M and 57% at 0.05 .mu.M.
B. Enhancement of Cell Survival
Cell cultures were grown as described above but in the absence of NMDA and after 3 days a dose of test compound was added. Cell survival was monitored as described above. Naturally (control) the cells die over a period of seven days from plating. Measurements of cell survival taken 24 hours after the addition of test compound (four days after cell plating) showed that the test compounds enhanced the survival of the cells, delaying their natural death. Table 20 below shows the per cent increase in No of cells present on the fourth day expressed as percentage of the number of control cells on that day.

EXAMPLE 9
Global Brain Ischemia in Gerbils
Male mongolian gerbils, aged 2.5-5 months, housed 4-8 in a cage, were supplied freely with food and water and maintained at 24.degree. C. with a 12 hour day/night cycle. For surgery the animals were anesthetized with halothane (1.5% in 100% O.sub.2) and the common carotid arteries exposed bilaterally through a midline ventral neck incision. Each artery was clamped for 5 minutes with aneurysm clips to produce global brain ischemia. The anesthesia was discontinued upon clamping. After 5 minutes the clamps were removed and the wound closed with skin clips.
For treatment, the test compound or vehicle were injected intra-peritoneally (ip) in a volume of 50 microliters of solvent per 10 g body weight. The first injection was given two minutes after clamp removal, and thereafter daily for the next 2 post-operative days (total of 3 injections).
Seven groups each of 4-8 animals were compared:
I. Control; (sham- or unoperated and saline treated),
II. Vehicle treated, unoperated (when solvent is other than saline),
III. Ischemia--untreated or saline treated),
IV. Ischemia--vehicle treated (when solvent is other than saline),
V. Ischemia--Test compound treated, one sub-group per concentration tested,
VI. Ischemia and pentobarbital (40 mg/kg) as positive control).
Analysis of neuronal damage was performed 14 days post-ischemia by counting pyramidal neurons throughout the CA1 layer of the anterior hippocampus in 4 micromolar thick (paraffin) coronal brain sections stained with hematoxylin and erosin.
The Results are shown in the Table 21 below. Percent Protection values represent the fraction of hippocampi protected from ischemia in a group of animals treated with the stated dose of compound.

EXAMPLE 10
Electrically Kindled Rat Model of Epilepsy
The rat electrical kindling model of epilepsy has been known to show efficacy of antiepileptic agents against complex partial seizures that evolve into generalized motor seizures. In these tests, rats were electrically stimulated via corneal electrodes twice daily for approximately 5 days and then once daily for an additional 10 days. Once the seizure criteria, as described by R. J. Racine, et al., Electroenceph. Clin. Neurophysiol. 32: 281-294 (1972), were met, the test substance was administered p.o. to rats, and the rat electrically stimulated, and observed for the presence or absence of a seizure. The detailed procedure of this test model can be found in, E. A. Swinyard, et al., in "Antiepileptic Drugs," ed. by R. H. Levy, et al., Raven Press, New York, at 85-100 (1989) and Racine, Id.
Further, in the electrically kindled rat model, compound 18 (administered p.o.) prevented seizures with an ED.sub.50 of 24.6 Mg/kg; compound 17 with an ED.sub.50 of <75 mg/kg; and compound 19 with an ED.sub.50 of >50 mg/kg. The results are therefore indicative of these compounds having an efficacy against generalized seizures and complex partial seizures which evolve into generalized motor seizures.
