Heterocyclic compounds and their preparation and use

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to therapeutically active azacyclic or azabicyclic compounds, a method of preparing the same and to compositions for pharmaceutical or veterinary use comprising the compounds with a carrier. The novel compounds are useful as stimulants of the cognitive function of the forebrain and hippocampus of mammals and especially in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Due to the generally improved health situation in the western world, elderly-related diseases are much more common now than in the past and are likely to be even more common in the future.
One of the elderly-related symptoms is a reduction of the cognitive functions. This symptom is especially pronounced in the pathophysiological disease known as Alzheimer's disease. This disease is combined with, and also most likely caused by, an up to 90% degeneration of the muscarinic cholinergic neurons in nucleus basalis, which is part of substantia innominata. These neurons project to the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus and have a general stimulatory effect on the cognitive functions of the forebrain as well as of hippocampus, namely learning, association, consolidation, and recognition.
It is a characteristic of Alzheimer's disease that although the cholinergic neurons degenerate, the postsynaptic muscarinic receptors in the forebrain and hippocampus still exist. Therefore, muscarinic cholinergic agonists are useful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, in halting its progression, and in improving the cognitive functions of elderly people.
The compounds of this invention are also useful analgesic agents and therefore are useful in the treatment of severely painful conditions.
Furthermore, the compounds of this invention are useful in the treatment of glaucoma, psychosis, mania, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or schizophreniform conditions, depression, sleeping disorders, epilepsy, cerebral ischemia, and gastrointestinal motility disorders.

The compounds (11) are useful intermediates for the preparation of 1,2,5-thiadiazole compounds. The artisan will recognize that the intermediates 11 are useful for preparing 1,2,5-thiadiazole compounds as illustrated by the processes of Schemes I, II, and III.
When the G substituent contains a secondary nitrogen protected by a protecting group, the protecting group may be removed using standard methods known to the skilled artisan. An especially preferred protecting group is carbamate. One particularly useful reference concerning protecting groups is Greene, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, (John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1981).
The concentration of the reactants is not critical. The art worker can alter the concentration of the reactants to achieve the desired rate of reaction and product yield.
The length of time for carrying out the processes described are not critical. As is always the case in chemistry, the rate of the reaction depends on a variety of factors, such as the temperature and the exact compound which is to be prepared. The course of the reaction may be followed using methods such as thin layer chromatography (TLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) to detect the degree of completion of the reaction. The operator may obtain maximum yields using the process by extending the reaction time. Alternatively, the operator may wish to obtain maximum throughput by cutting off the reaction at the point at which it reaches an economical degree of completion.
When the product of a step in the following process is an oil, it may be isolated by standard methods. Such methods include distillation, flash chromatography, HPLC and the like.
As used herein the term "malfunctioning of the muscarinic cholinergic system" shall have the meaning accepted by the skilled artisan. For example the term shall refer to, but is not in any way limited to, conditions such as glaucoma, psychosis, schizophrenia or schizophreniform conditions, depression, sleeping disorders, epilepsy, and gastrointestinal motility disorders. Other such conditions include Alzheimer's Disease and incontinence.
The pharmacological properties of the compounds of the invention can be illustrated by determining their capability to inhibit the specific binding of .sup.3 H-Oxotremorine-M (.sup.3 H-Oxo). Birdsdall N. J. M., Hulme E. C., and Burgen A. S. V. (1980). "The Character of Muscarinic Receptors in Different Regions of the Rat Brain". Proc. Roy. Soc. London (Series B) 207,1.
.sup.3 H-Oxo labels muscarinic receptor in the CNS (with a preference for agonist domains of the receptors). Three different sites are labeled by .sup.3 H-Oxo. These sites have affinity of 1.8, 20 and 3000 nM, respectively. Using the present experimental conditions only the high and medium affinity sites are determined.
The inhibitory effects of compounds on .sup.3 H-oxo binding reflects the affinity for muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.
All preparations are performed at 0.degree.-4.degree. C. unless otherwise indicated. Fresh cortex (0.1-1 g) from male Wistar rats (150-250 g) is homogenized for 5-10 seconds in 10 mL 20 nM Hepes pH: 7.4, with an Ultra-Turrax homogenizer. The homogenizer is rinsed with 10 mL of buffer and the combined suspension centrifuged for 15 min. at 40,000.times.g. The pellet is washed three times with buffer. In each step the pellet is homogenized as before in 2.times.10 mL of buffer and centrifuged for 10 min. at 40,000.times.g.
The final pellet is homogenized in 20 mM Hepes pH: 7.4 (100 mL per g of original tissue) and used for binding assay. Aliquots of 0.5 mL is added 25 .mu.L of test solution and 25 .mu.L of .sup.3 H-Oxotremorine (1.0 nM, final concentration) mixed and incubated for 30 min. at 25.degree. C. Non-specific binding is determined in triplicate using arecoline (1 .mu.gL, final concentration) as the test substance. After incubation samples are added 5 mL of ice-cold buffer and poured directly onto Whatman GF/C glass fiber filters under suction and immediately washed 2 times with 5 mL of ice-cold buffer. The amount of radioactivity on the filters are determined by conventional liquid scintillation counting. Specific binding is total binding minus non specific binding.
Test substances are dissolved in 10 mL water (if necessary heated on a steam-bath for less than 5 min.) at a concentration of 2.2 mg/mL. 25-75% inhibition of specific binding must be obtained before calculation of IC.sub.50. The test value will be given as IC.sub.50 (the concentration (nM) of the test substance which inhibits the specific binding of .sup.3 H-oxo by 50%).
IC.sub.50 =(applied test substance concentration).times.(C.sub.x /C.sub.o -C.sub.x)nM where C.sub.o is specific binding in control assays and C.sub.x is the specific binding in the test assay. (The calculations assume normal mass-action kinetics).
Furthermore the pharmacological properties of the compounds of the invention can also be illustrated by determining their capability to inhibit .sup.3 HPRZ (pirenzepine, �N-methyl-.sup.3 H!) binding to rat cerebral cortex membranes.
Pirenzepine binds selectively to subtype of muscarinic receptors. Historically the type is named the M.sub.1 -site, whereas pirenzepine sensitive site would be more appropriate. Although selective for M.sub.1 -sites pirenzepine also interact with M.sub.2 -sites.
All preparations are performed at 0.degree.-4.degree. C. unless otherwise indicated. Fresh cortex (0.1-1 9) from male Wistar rats (150-200 g) is homogenized for 5-10 s in 10 mL 20 mM Hepes pH: 7.4, with an Ultra-Turrax homogenizer. The homogenizer is rinsed with 2.times.10 mL of buffer and the combined suspension centrifuged for 15 min. at 40,000.times.g. The pellet is washed three times with buffer. In each step the pellet is homogenized as before in 3.times.10 mL of buffer and centrifuged for 10 min. at 40,000.times.g.
The final pellet is homogenized in 20 mM Hepes pH: 7.4 (100 mL per g of original tissue) and used for binding assay. Aliquots of 0.5 mL is added 20 .mu.l of test solution and 25 .mu.L of .sup.3 HPRZ (1.0 nM, final conc.), mixed and incubated for 60 min. at 20.degree. C. Non-specific binding is determined in triplicate using atropine (1 ,.mu.g/mL, final conc.) as the test substance. After incubation samples are added 5 mL of ice-cold buffer and poured directly onto Whatman GF/C glass fiber filters under suction and immediately washed 2 times with 5 mL of ice-cold buffer. The amount of radioactivity on the filters are determined by conventional liquid scintillation counting. Specific binding is total binding minus non-specific binding.
Test substances are dissolved in 10 mL water, at a concentration of 0.22 mg/mL. 25-75% inhibition of specific binding must be obtained before calculation of IC.sub.50.
The test value will be given as IC.sub.50 (the concentration (nM) of the test substance which inhibits the specific binding of .sup.3 HPRZ by 50%). IC.sub.50 =(applied test substance concentration).times.(C.sub.x /C.sub.o -C.sub.x)nM where C.sub.o is specific binding in control assays and C.sub.x is the specific binding in the test assay. (The calculations assume normal mass-action kinetics).

The compounds of the invention are effective over a wide dosage range. For example, in the treatment of adult humans, dosages from about 0.05 to about 100 mg. preferably from about 0.1 to about 100 mg. per day may be used. A most preferable dosage is about 0.1 mg to about 70 mg per day. In choosing a regimen for patients suffering from diseases in the central nervous system caused by malfunctioning of the muscarinic cholinergic system it may frequently be necessary to begin with a dosage of from about 20 to about 70 mg per day and when the condition is under control to reduce the dosage as low as from about 0.1 to about 10 mg per day. The exact dosage will depend upon the mode of administration, form in which administered, the subject to be treated and the body weight of the subject to be treated, and the preference and experience of the physician or prescribing caregiver in charge.
The route of administration may be any route, which effectively transports the active compound to the appropriate or desired site of action, such as oral or parenteral e.g. rectal. transdermal, depot, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular or intranasal, the oral route being preferred.
Typical compositions include a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, associated with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient which may be a carrier, or a diluent or be diluted by a carrier, or enclosed within a carrier which can be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. In making the compositions, conventional techniques for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions may be used. For example, the active compound will usually be mixed with a carrier, or diluted by a carrier, or enclosed within a carrier which may be in the form of a ampoule, capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the carrier serves as a diluent, it may be solid, semi-solid, or liquid material which acts as a vehicle, excipient, or medium for the active compound. The active compound can be adsorbed on a granular solid container for example in a sachet. Some examples of suitable carriers are water, salt solutions, alcohols, polyethylene glycols, polyhydroxyethoxylated castor oil, gelatine, lactose, amylose, magnesium stearate, talc, silicic acid, fatty acid monoglycerides and diglycerides, pentaerythritol fatty acid esters, hydroxymethylcellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone. The formulations may also include wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, preserving agents, sweetening agents, or flavoring agents. The formulations of the invention may be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained, or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures well known in the art.
The pharmaceutical preparations can be sterilized and mixed, if desired, with auxiliary agents, emulsifiers, salt for influencing osmotic pressure, buffers and/or coloring substances and the like, which do not deleteriously react with the active compounds.
For parenteral application, particularly suitable are injectable solutions or suspensions, preferably aqueous solutions with the active compound dissolved in polyhydroxylated castor oil.
Tablets, dragees, or capsules having talc and/or a carbohydrate carrier or binder or the like are particularly suitable for oral application. Preferable carriers for tablets, dragees, or capsules include lactose, corn starch, and/or potato starch. A syrup or elixir can be used in cases where a sweetened vehicle can be employed.
Generally, the compounds are dispensed in unit form comprising from about 0.1 to about 100 mg in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier per unit dosage.
The compounds of this invention may be suitable for administration to an animal. Such animals include both domestic animals, for example livestock, laboratory animals, and household pets, and non-domestic animals such as wildlife. More preferredly, the animal is a vertebrate. Most preferredly, a compound of this invention shall be administered to a mammal. It is especially preferred that the animal is a domestic mammal or a human. The most preferred mammal is a human. For such purposes, a compound of this invention may be administered as a feed additive.
