Abstract
A series of non-peptidergic antagonists of NPY have been synthesized and are comprised of piperazine and homopiperazine derivatives of 4-phenyl-1,4-dihydropyridines of Formula (I). ##STR1## As antagonists of NPY-induced feeding behavior, these compounds are expected to act as effective anorexiant agents in promoting weight loss and treating eating disorders.
Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention concerns heterocyclic carbon compounds comprising 4-phenyl-1,4-dihydropyridines with a piperazinyl- or homopiperazinyl-containing moiety attached to the 3-position of the 4-phenyl ring. These compounds act as NPY antagonists. As such they should represent a class of improved anorexiants lacking some of the side-effects possessed by currently available anorexiants.
A substantial body of art has accumulated over the past two decades with respect to 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridine compounds. A large number of these possess calcium antagonist properties and find utility in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Earlier work from these laboratories involved a series of 4-aryl-dihydropyridine cardiovascular agents, including compounds of formula (1), which were ##STR2## disclosed and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,755,512.
Additionally, 1,4-dihydropyridine compounds have been disclosed that have an arylpiperazine system attached by an alkyl or alkoxyalkyl chain to the R.sup.2 -position of the dihydropyridine ring. Aritomi, et al., in Chem. Pharm. Bull., 28 (11), 3163-71 (1980) disclose compounds having an alkylenylpiperazine group at the 2-position of the dihydropyridine nucleus, e.g. ##STR3## wherein n=2 and R is alkyl, aryl, or arylalkyl. Specifically disclosed is compound (2). ##STR4##
European Patent Application 60,674, published in 1982, discloses anti-ischemic and antihypertensive agents of structure (3) ##STR5## wherein Y is an ethylene or propylene chain; R.sup.5 is C.sub.1-4 alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, and the like.
These reference compounds are easily distinguished structurally from the compounds of the instant invention by virtue of being attached to the dihydropyridine ring as well as by the nature of the linking functional group, e.g. alkylenyl, alkylene-oxo-alkylenyl, and carboxamido groups. In contrast, compounds of the instant invention contain an alkylenylpiperazine moiety attached to the 4-phenyl ring by means of an urea or anilide connection. Not only are the present compounds structurally novel, they also have been discovered to possess novel NPY antagonist activity.
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36 amino acid peptide first isolated in 1982 from porcine brain..sup.1,2 The peptide is a member of a larger peptide family which also includes peptide YY (PYY), pancreatic peptide (PP), and the non-mammalian fish pancreatic peptide Y (PY). Neuropeptide Y is very highly conserved in a variety of animal, reptile and fish species. It is found in many central and peripheral sympathetic neurons and is the most abundant peptide observed in the mammalian brain. In the brain, NPY is found most abundantly in limbic regions. The peptide has been found to elicit a number of physiological responses including appetite stimulation, anxiolysis, hypertension, and the regulation of coronary tone.
Structure-activity studies with a variety of peptide analogs (fragments, alanine replacements, point mutations, and internal deletion/cyclized derivatives) suggest a number of receptor subtypes exist for NPY..sup.2b These currently include the Y.sub.1, Y.sub.2, Y.sub.3, and the Y.sub.1-like or Y.sub.4 subtypes.
Although a number of specific peptidic antagonists have been identified for most of the subtypes, few selective non-peptidic antagonists have been reported to date. Examples of these antagonists are displayed in Charts 1 and 2. The heterocyclic guanidine derivative He 90481 (4) was found to be a weak but competitive antagonist of NPY-induced Ca.sup.++ entry in HEL cells (pA.sub.2 =4.43)..sup.3 The compound was also found to have .alpha..sub.2 -adrenergic and histaminergic activity at this dose range. D-Myo-inositol-1,2,6-triphosphate (5) was reported to be a potent but non-competitive antagonist to NPY-induced contractions in guinea pig basilar artery..sup.4 Similarly, the benextramine-like bisguanidines 6a and 6b were reported to displace .sup.3 H-NPY in rat brain (IC.sub.50, 19 and 18.4 .mu.M) and to display functional antagonism in rat femoral artery..sup.5 The bisguanidine 6b was shown to be functionally selective for the Y.sub.2 receptor since it antagonized the effect of the NPY.sub.2 agonist NPY.sub.13-36 but had no effect on the vasoconstrictive activity of the NPY.sub.1 agonist [Leu.sup.31, Pro.sup.34 ]NPY..sup.5c
Compound (7), BIBP 3226.sup.6, displaces I-125 Bolton-Hunter labeled NPY in human neuroblastoma cells (SK-N-MC). Compound (7) antagonized the NPY-induced increase in intracellular Ca.sup.++ in SK-N-MC cells as well as antagonizing the NPY-induced pressor response in pithed rat experiments.
In addition to displacing I-125 labeled NPY and PYY in human neuroblastoma cells, compound (8), SR 120819A.sup.7, also antagonized NPY-related increases in diastolic blood pressure in an anesthetized guinea pig model.
In sum, the compounds of this invention may be distinguished over compounds of the prior art on the basis of molecular structure and biologic activity. There is nothing in the prior art that anticipates or suggests the novel NPY antagonists of the present invention.
SUMMARY AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises the compounds of Formula (I), ##STR6## their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and/or their hydrates thereof. In the foregoing structural formula, the symbols R.sup.1 -R.sup.5, B and Z have the following meanings.
R.sup.1 is lower alkyl; methyl being preferred.
R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are independently selected from cyano and lower alkyl, with methyl being preferred.
R.sup.4 is selected from --CO.sub.2 R.sup.1, cyano and ##STR7##
R.sup.5 can be hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, and lower alkenyloxy such as allyloxy.
B is NH or a chemical bond.
The symbol n is an integer from 2 to 5 with 3 being preferred.
Finally, Z is ##STR8## wherein m is an integer of 2 or 3 and R.sup.6 can be formyl, lower alkyl, phenyl-lower alkyl, ##STR9##
The phenyl ring substituents R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 are independently selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl, C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl, lower alkoxy, hydroxy, phenoxy, NH.sub.2, NHCOR.sup.1, CO.sub.2 R.sup.1, NO.sub.2, trifiuoromethyl and phenyl.
The term "lower" indicates that the alkyl, alkoxy, or alkenyloxy group contains from one to four carbon atoms. Preferred compounds of the instant invention are Formula (I) compounds wherein R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are methyl; R.sup.4 is --CO.sub.2 Me; R.sup.5 is hydrogen; B is NH; and R.sup.6 is an aromatic ring-containing moiety. Most preferred compounds are those wherein R.sup.6 is substituted phenyl, particularly with alkoxy substituents.
The compounds of the present invention can exist as optical isomers and both the racemic mixtures of these isomers as well as the individual optical isomers themselves are within the scope of the present invention. The racemic mixtures can be separated into their individual isomers through well known techniques such as the separation of the diastereomeric salts formed with optically active acids, followed by conversion back to the optically active bases.
As indicated, the present invention also pertains to the pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic salts of these basic compounds. Such salts include those derived from organic and inorganic acids such as, without limitation, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, sorbic acid, aconitic acid, salicylic acid, phthalic acid, enanthic acid, and the like.
The compounds of the present invention may be produced by the following processes which employ variations of the Hantzsch synthetic reaction applied to the appropriate starting materials. General processes for preparing Formula (I) compounds are outlined in Schemes 1 and 2. The symbols R.sup.1 -R.sup.6, B, n and m are as previously defined, and X is chloro or bromo. The dihydropyridine intermediate (V) can be prepared by the reaction of 3-nitrobenzaldehyde and the requisite acetoacetates, such as compound (VI) wherein R.sup.4 is e.g. carbethoxy, under standard Hantzsch condensation conditions.sup.8 (e.g. ammonium acetate in refluxing isopropanol) if symmetrical intermediates of Formula (V) are desired. Symmetrical intermediate (V) compounds would have R.sup.2 =R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 =--CO.sub.2 R.sup.1. Unsymmetrical dihydropyridines (V) are obtained using modified Hantzsch conditions starting with Knoevenagel adducts (VII).sup.9 and the appropriate dicarbonyl compounds (VI). A number of these dihydropyridines (V) have been described in the literature..sup.10 Reduction of intermediate (V) compounds catalytically or by using either an iron method (Fe/NH.sub.4 Cl/aq. EtOH) or a Ni(OAc).sub.2 /NaBH.sub.4 exchange resin procedure.sup.11 provides the amino intermediates (IV). A number of these aniline derivatives have also been described in the literature.sup.12 Scheme 1 illustrates their conversion into anilide-linked Formula (I) compound. Reaction of (IV) with a haloacyl halide (VIII) gives compound (III), and subsequent treatment with the piperazinyl or homopiperazinyl compounds (X) yields the desired Formula (I) products.
Syntheses of Formula (I) compounds containing urea linkages are shown in Scheme 2. In process A, the aniline intermediate (IV) is reacted with an appropriate haloalkyl isocyanate (IX) to produce intermediate compound (II) which is then further reacted with piperazine intermediate (X) to yield urea-linked Formula (I) product. Process B involves the conversation of the aniline intermediate (IV) to an isocyanate intermediate (XXXIV) via the carbamate intermediate (XXIV). Reaction of the isocyanate compound (XXXIV) with an aminoalkyl piperidine or tetrahydropyridine compound (XX) gives the urea-linked Formula (I) product in good overall yield.
Certain intermediates of Formula (V) require modified syntheses and some of these are exemplified in Scheme 3. Synthesis A shows hydrolysis of an acetal derivative (XIII) following a general synthetic route similar to that reported by Satoh.sup.13. Hydrolysis of the acetal (XIII) was accomplished by acid treatment (HCl/acetone). The resulting aldehyde (XII) was converted to the oxime derivative via reaction with hydroxylamine in acetic acid and then was dehydrated by heating in acetic anhydride to produce the cyano-substituted intermediate (V). Conversion of a cyano-substituted nitrobenzene compound (V) to the cyano-substituted aniline intermediate (IV) is accomplished with Fe/NH.sub.4 Cl in ethanol.
Synthesis B of Scheme 3 outlines preparation of oxadiazole substituted intermediates. A dihydropyridine carboxylic acid starting material (XIV) is coupled with acetamidoxime via carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) and then heated at about 200.degree. to convert the intermediary oxime ester to the oxadiazole nitro compound (V). Reduction of (V) to the oxadiazole substituted aniline compound (IV) is carried out using the iron method in order to preclude N--O bond cleavage seen with hydrogenolysis.
For products wherein R.sup.5 is other than hydrogen, the reaction sequence begins using the appropriate R.sup.5 -substituted nitrobenzaldehyde except when R.sup.5 is hydroxy. In this case, compound (V), wherein R.sup.5 is hydroxy, is O-allylated by treatment with NaH/allyl bromide to give an intermediate (V) wherein R.sup.5 is allyloxy, as shown in Scheme 4, process A. Iron reduction provides the aniline intermediate (IV) which is reacted sequentially with an appropriate haloalkyl isocyanate or haloacyl halide followed by a piperazine or homopiperazine reactant to provide the Formula (I) compound wherein R.sup.5 is allyloxy. Deprotection is achieved using PdCl.sub.2 in a HOAc/NaOAc buffer to yield the R.sup.5 -OH Formula (I) product.
Substituted piperazines and homopiperazines (X) are commercially available and/or described in the chemical literature. A convenient synthesis for homopiperazines is shown for a specific intermediate compound in Scheme 5. The 2-oxazolidinone intermediate (XV) is ring-opened with HBr in glacial acetic acid and recyclized to intermediate (X) in refluxing n-BuOH.
Additional reaction intermediates and Formula (I) products can be prepared by appropriate modification of the foregoing synthetic schemes and procedures. Such modifications would be obvious to practitioners skilled in the chemical art. Additional examples and experimental procedures are provided infra.
The compounds of this invention demonstrate binding affinity at NPY Y.sub.1 receptors. This pharmacologic activity is assayed in SK-N-MC (human neuroblastoma) cell membranes using iodine-125-labeled I-PYY as a radioligand. The compounds of this invention had good binding affinities as evidenced by IC.sub.50 values being about 10 .mu.M or less at NPY Y.sub.1 receptors. Preferred compounds have IC.sub.50 values less than 100 nM and most preferred compounds have IC.sub.50 values of less than 10 nM. Although as a class, these types of dihydropyridines have significant affinity for .alpha..sub.1 -adrenergic receptors and/or Ca.sup.++ channels, the compounds of this invention possess much weaker affinities for .alpha..sub.1 adrenergic receptors and Ca.sup.++ channels. As such, these compounds act as selective NPY antagonists at NPY Y.sub.1 receptor sites. There is evidence that NPY contributes to certain symptoms in these disorders: hypertension, eating disorders, and depression/anxiety..sup.21 Compounds of this invention are expected to be useful in treating these disorders.
Selected compounds are tested further for their ability to block NPY-induced feeding in test animals by intraperitoneal administration to the animal prior to inducing feeding behavior with NPY. Taken together, these tests indicate that the compounds of this invention would be useful anorexiants and would function as anti-obesity agents with further use in various clinical eating disorders. Thus, another aspect of the invention concerns a process for reducing food intake in an obese mammal or a mammal with an eating disorder. The process comprises systemic administration to such a mammal of an anorexiant-effective dose of a Formula (I) compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt and/or hydrate thereof.
On the basis of pharmacologic testing, an effective dose given parenterally could be expected to be in a range of about 0.05 to 1 mg/kg body weight and if given orally would be expected to be in the range of about 1 to 20 mg/kg body weight.
For clinical applications, however, the dosage and dosage regimen must in each case be carefully adjusted, utilizing sound professional judgment and considering the age, weight and condition of the recipient, the route of administration and the nature and gravity of the illness. Generally, the compounds of the instant invention will be administered in the same manner as for available anorexiant drugs such as Diethylpropion, Mazindol, or Phentermine and the daily oral dose would comprise from about 70 to about 1400 mg, preferably 500 to 1000 mg administered from 1 to 3 times a day. In some instances, a sufficient therapeutic effect can be obtained at lower doses while in others, larger doses will be required.
The term systemic administration as used herein refers to oral, rectal, and parenteral (i.e. intramuscular, intravenous, and subcutaneous) routes. Generally, it will be found that when a compound of the present invention is administered orally, which is the preferred route, a larger quantity of reactive agent is required to produce the same effect as a smaller quantity given parenterally. In accordance with good clinical practice, it is preferred to administer the instant compounds at a concentration level that will produce effective anoretic effects without causing any harmful or untoward side effects. Similarly, the instant compounds can be administered to treat hypertension, depression and anxiety disorders.
Therapeutically, the instant compounds are generally given as pharmaceutical compositions comprised of an effective anorectic amount of a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Pharmaceutical compositions for effecting such treatment will contain a major or minor amount, e.g. from 95 to 0.5% of at least one compound of the present invention in combination with the pharmaceutical carrier, the carrier comprising one or more solid, semi-solid, or liquid diluent, filler, and formulation adjuvant which is non-toxic, inert and pharmaceutically acceptable. Such pharmaceutical compositions are preferably in dosage unit forms; i.e., physically discrete units containing a predetermined amount of the drug corresponding to a fraction or multiple of the dose which is calculated to produce the desired therapeutic response. The dosage units can contain 1, 2, 3, 4, or more single doses, or, alternatively, one-half, one-third, or one-fourth of a single dose. A single dose preferably contains an amount sufficient to produce the desired therapeutic effect upon administration at one application of one or more dosage units according to the pre-determined dosage regimen usually a whole, half, third, or quarter of the daily dosage administered once, twice, three, or four times a day. Other therapeutic agents can also be present. Pharmaceutical compositions which provide from about 50 to 1000 mg of the active ingredient per unit dose are preferred and are conventionally prepared as tablets, lozenges, capsules, powders, aqueous or oily suspensions, syrups, elixirs, and aqueous solutions. Preferred oral compositions are in the form of tablets or capsules and may contain conventional excipients such as binding agents (e.g. syrup, acacia, gelatin, sorbitol, tragecanth, or polyvinylpyrrolidone), fillers (e.g. lactose, sugar, maize-starch, calcium phosphate, sorbitol, or glycine), lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate, talc, polyethylene glycol or silica), disintegrants (e.g. starch) and wetting agents (e.g. sodium lauryl sulfate). Solutions or suspensions of a Formula (I) compound with conventional pharmaceutical vehicles are employed for parenteral compositions such as an aqueous solution for intravenous injection or an oily suspension for intramuscular injection. Such compositions having the desired clarity, stability and adaptability for parenteral use are obtained by dissolving from 0.1% to 10% by weight of the active compound in water or a vehicle consisting of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol such as glycerine, propyleneglycol, and polyethelene glycols or mixtures thereof. The polyethyleneglycols consist of a mixture of non-volatile, usually liquid, polyethyleneglycols which are soluble in both water and organic liquids and which have molecular weights from about 200 to 1500.

General Procedure from Formula (II) Intermediates (Generated In Situ)
To a solution of the requisite aniline (IV) (6 mmol) under N.sub.2 in 30 mL of CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, was added 7 mmol of 3-chloropropyl isocyanate. The reaction was then stirred at room temperature or at reflux until judged complete by TLC analysis (2-24 h). The solution was washed with H.sub.2 O and brine and then dried over MgSO.sub.4. After filtration, the volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was taken up in 35 mL of MeCN. To this solution was added the appropriate Formula (X) piperazine (10 mmol), micropulverized K.sub.2 CO.sub.3 (7 mmol), and a catalytic amount of Nal (10 mg). The resulting suspension was allowed to reflux overnight under N.sub.2 and then poured into 100 mL of H.sub.2 O. After extraction with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, the combined organic fractions were washed with H.sub.2 O and brine, and dried over MgSO.sub.4. The suspension was filtered and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to furnish the crude products of Formula (I). These were then purified by flash chromatography (SiO.sub.2 : ammoniated EtOAc/MeOH) and a salt generally prepared from the free base.
