The present invention relates to novel heterocyclic compounds of formula (I) having P2X7 receptor (P2X7) antagonistic properties, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds, chemical processes for preparing these compounds and their use in the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases associated with P2X7 receptor activity in animals, in particular humans.
P2X7 belongs to the family of P2X ionotropic receptors. P2X7 is activated by extracellular nucleotides, notably adenosine triphosphate (ATP). P2X7 is distinguished from other P2X family members by the specific localization (CNS and immunocompetent cells in particular), by the high concentrations of ATP (in the mM range) required to activate it and by its ability to form a large pore upon prolonged or repeated stimulation. P2X7 is a ligand-gated ion channel and is present on a variety of cell types, largely those known to be involved in the inflammatory and/or immune process, specifically, macrophages, mast cells and lymphocytes (T and B). Activation of the P2X7 receptor by extracellular nucleotides, e.g., ATP, leads to the release of interleukin-1β (1L-1β) and giant cell formation (macrophages/microglial cells), degranulation (mast cells) and L-selectin shedding (lymphocytes). P2X7 receptors are also located on antigen-presenting cells (APC), keratinocytes, salivary acinar cells (parotid cells), hepatocytes, erythrocytes, erythroleukaemic cells, monocytes, fibroblasts, bone marrow cells, neurones, and renal mesangial cells. The P2X7 receptor is also known to be a pain sensor in the nervous system. Experiments using P2X7 deficient mice demonstrate the role of P2X7 in the development of pain as these mice were protected from the development of both adjuvant-induced inflammatory pain and partial nerve ligation induced neuropathic pain. There is also growing evidence that P2X7 or its downstream effectors, such as IL-1β, are involved in the pathophysiology of several neurological disorders, such as, Alzheimer's Disease (J. I. Diaz-Hernandez et al., Neurobiol. Aging 2012, 1816-1828: In vivo P2X7 inhibition reduces Aβ plaques in AD through GSK3β). P2X7 is thought to have an important function in neurotransmission within the CNS through its activation on postsynaptic and/or presynaptic neurons and glia. Data has emerged using in situ hybridization that P2X7 receptor mRNA is widely distributed throughout the rat brain. Specifically, areas of high P2X7 mRNA expression were found in the anterior olfactory nucleus, cerebral cortex, piriform cortex (Pir), lateral septal nucleus (LS), hippocampal pyramidal cell layers of CA1, CA3, CA4, pontine nuclei, external cuneate nucleus, and medial vestibular nucleus. P2X7 hybridization signals were also observed in the motor neurons of the trigeminal motor nucleus, facial nucleus, hypoglossal nucleus, and the anterior horn of the spinal cord.
Hence there is a therapeutic rationale for the use of P2X7 antagonists in the treatment of a variety of disease states. These states include but are not limited to diseases associated with the CNS such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, spinal cord injury, cerebral ischemia, head trauma, meningitis, sleep disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, HIV-induced neuroinflammation, and chronic neuropathic and inflammatory pain. Furthermore, peripheral inflammatory disorders and autoimmune diseases including but not limited to rheumatoid arthritis, ostheoarthritis, psoriasis, allergic dermatitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, airways hyper-responsiveness, septic shock, bronchitis, glomerulonephritis, irritable bowel syndrome, fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis, skin injury, lung emphysema, muscular dystrophy, fibrosis, atherosclerosis, burn injury, Crohn's Disease, ulcerative colitis, age-related macular degeneration, growth and metastasis of malignant cells, Sjögren's syndrome, myoblastic leukaemia, diabetes, osteoporosis, ischemic heart disease are all examples where the involvement of P2X7 receptors has been implicated. In view of the clinical importance of P2X7, the identification of compounds that modulate P2X7 receptor function represents an attractive avenue into the development of new therapeutic agents.
P2X7 inhibitors are described in various patent applications:
WO2004099146 discloses benzamide inhibitors of the P2X7 receptor and their use in the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
WO2009108551 discloses heteroarylamide analogs and their use in P2X7 receptor mediated conditions.
WO2009132000 discloses quinoline and isoquinoline substituted P2X7 receptor antagonists and their use in P2X7 receptor mediated conditions.

WO2015/099107 A1 discloses pyrimidinone substituted P2X7 receptor antagonist and their use in P2X7 receptor mediated conditions.
However there is still an unmet need for compounds which are able to efficiently antagonize P2X7 and that can be delivered in the different target organs which are sites of a P2X7 mediated pathology, including the brain. Such compounds are provided herein.

Because of their easy administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form, in which CASe solid pharmaceutical carriers are obviously employed. For parenteral injection compositions, the pharmaceutical carrier will mainly comprise sterile water, although other ingredients may be included in order to improve solubility of the active ingredient.
Injectable solutions may be prepared for instance by using a pharmaceutical carrier comprising a saline solution, a glucose solution or a mixture of both. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared by using appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like. In compositions suitable for percutaneous administration, the pharmaceutical carrier may optionally comprise a penetration enhancing agent and/or a suitable wetting agent, optionally combined with minor proportions of suitable additives which do not cause a significant deleterious effect to the skin. Said additives may be selected in order to facilitate administration of the active ingredient to the skin and/or be helpful for preparing the desired compositions. These topical compositions may be administered in various ways, e.g., as a transdermal patch, a spot-on or an ointment. Addition salts of the compounds of formula (1), due to their increased water solubility over the corresponding base form, are obviously more suitable in the preparation of aqueous compositions.
It is especially advantageous to formulate the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage.
“Dosage unit form” as used herein refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages, each unit containing a predetermined amount of active ingredient calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. Examples of such dosage unit forms are tablets (including scored or coated tablets), capsules, pills, powder packets, wafers, injectable solutions or suspensions, teaspoonfuls, tablespoonfuls and the like, and segregated multiples thereof.
For oral administration, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may take the form of solid dose forms, for example, tablets (both swallowable and chewable forms), capsules or gelcaps, prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and carriers such as binding agents (e.g. pregelatinised maize starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and the like), fillers (e.g. lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium phosphate and the like), lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate, tale, silica and the like), disintegrating agents (e.g. potato starch, sodium starch glycollate and the like), wetting agents (e.g. sodium lauryl sulphate) and the like. Such tablets may also be coated by methods well known in the art.
Liquid preparations for oral administration may take the form of e.g. solutions, syrups or suspensions, or they may be formulated as a dry product for admixture with water and/or another suitable liquid carrier before use. Such liquid preparations may be prepared by conventional means, optionally with other pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agents (e.g. sorbitol syrup, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose or hydrogenated edible fats), emulsifying agents (e.g. lecithin or acacia), non-aqueous carriers (e.g. almond oil, oily esters or ethyl alcohol), sweeteners, flavours, masking agents and preservatives (e.g. methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid).
Pharmaceutically acceptable sweeteners useful in the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention comprise preferably at least one intense sweetener such as aspartame, acesulfame potassium, sodium cyclamate, alitarne, a dihydrochalcone sweetener, monellin, stevioside sucralose (4,1′,6′-trichloro-4,1′,6′-trideoxygalactosucrose) or, preferably, saccharin, sodium or calcium saccharin, and optionally at least one bulk sweetener such as sorbitol, mannitol, fructose, sucrose, maltose, isomalt, glucose, hydrogenated glucose syrup, xylitol, caramel or honey. Intense sweeteners are conveniently used in low concentrations. For example, in the CASe of sodium saccharin, the said concentration may range from about 0.04% to 0.1% (weight/volume) of the final formulation. The bulk sweetener can effectively be used in larger concentrations ranging from about 10% to about 35%, preferably from about 10% to 15% (weight/volume). The pharmaceutically acceptable flavours which can mask the bitter tasting ingredients in the low-dosage formulations comprise preferably fruit flavours such as cherry, raspberry, black currant or strawberry flavour. A combination of two flavours may yield very good results. In the high-dosage formulations, stronger pharmaceutically acceptable flavours may be required such as Caramel Chocolate, Mint Cool, Fantasy and the like.
Each flavour may be present in the final composition in a concentration ranging from about 0.05% to 1% (weight/volume). Combinations of said strong flavours are advantageously used. Preferably a flavour is used that does not undergo any change or loss of taste and/or color under the circumstances of the formulation.
The compounds of formula (I) may be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, conveniently intravenous, intra-muscular or subcutaneous injection, for example by bolus injection or continuous intravenous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g. in ampoules or multi-dose containers, including an added preservative. They may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulating agents such as isotonizing, suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be present in powder form for mixing with a suitable vehicle, e.g. sterile pyrogen-free water, before use.
The compounds of formula (I) may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g. containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter and/or other glycerides.
Those of skill in the treatment of diseases linked to the mediation of the ligand-gated ion channels will easily determine the therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I) from the test results presented hereinafter. In general it is contemplated that a therapeutically effective dose will be from about 0.001 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg of body weight, more preferably from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg of body weight of the patient to be treated. It may be appropriate to administer the therapeutically effective dose in the form of two or more sub-doses at appropriate intervals throughout the day. Said sub-doses may be formulated as unit dosage forms, for example each containing from about 0.1 mg to about 1000 mg, more particularly from about 1 to about 500 mg, of the active ingredient per unit dosage form.
As used herein, a “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound, is the quantity of a compound which, when administered to an individual or animal, results in a sufficiently high level of that compound in the individual or animal to cause a discernible P2X7 receptor antagonistic response.
The exact dosage and frequency of administration depends on the particular compound of formula (I) used, the particular condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, the age, weight and general physical condition of the particular patient as well as the other medication, the patient may be taking, as is well known to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, said “therapeutically effective amount” may be lowered or increased depending on the response of the treated patient and/or depending on the evaluation of the physician prescribing the compounds of the instant invention. The effective daily amount ranges mentioned hereinabove are therefore only guidelines.

In general, the nomenclature used in this Application is based on ChemSketch™ (ACDLabs) and generated according to the IUPAC systematic nomenclature. Chemical structures shown herein were prepared using ISIS® version 2.2. Any open valency appearing on a carbon, oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen atom in the structures herein indicates the presence of a hydrogen atom unless indicated otherwise. Where a nitrogen-containing heteroaryl ring is shown with an open valency on a nitrogen atom and variables such as R1, R2, R3 etc. are shown on the heteroaryl ring, such variables may be bound or joined to the open valency nitrogen. Where a chiral center exists in a structure but no specific stereochemistry is shown for the chiral center, both enantiomers associated with the chiral center are encompassed by the structure. Where a structure shown herein may exist in multiple tautomeric forms, all such tautomers are encompassed by the structure. The atoms represented in the structure herein are intended to encompass all naturally occurring isotopes of such atoms. Thus, for example, the hydrogen atoms represented herein are meant to include deuterium and tritium, and the carbon atoms are meant to include 13C and 14C isotopes.

Method E
To a mixture of intermediate 2 (1.0 eq), Cs2CO3 (1.0 eq) and NaI (0.05 eq) in DMSO (5-12 mL) a suitable, commercially available halide (0.75 or 1.0 eq) was added dropwise, and the reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 3 hrs. The reaction mixture was quenched by addition of NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layers were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by HPLC giving the pure desired compound. (y=19%-39%)

Purification System
HPLC Preparative
HPLC system WATERS Quaternary Gradient Mobile 2535 equipped with WATERS UV/Visible Detector 2489 set to a dual-wavelength UV detection. Two mobile phases were used, mobile phase A: water (MilliQ) 0.05% TFA; mobile phase B: acetonitrile (Chromasolv Sigma-Aldrich) 0.05% TFA, and the run gradient conditions were set specifically for each compound. The purifications were achieved on a LUNA C18 Phenomenex Column 5 μm 19×150. An injection volume between 100 and 500 μl was used and the flow was 15 ml/min.
Racemate Separation
The two enantiomers 148 and 149 were obtained by resolution of the racemic mixture 128 using a WATERS Quaternary Gradient Mobile 2535 equipped with WATERS UV/Visible Detector 2489 set to a dual-wavelength UV detection at 220 and 260 nm. The chiral resolution was achieved on the Kromasil 5-Amycoat column (250 mm×4.6 mm, particle size 5 μm) using N-Hexane (Chromasolv Sigma-Aldrich)—Ethanol (Chromasolv Sigma-Aldrich) 90-10 (v/v) as isocratic mobile phase; The sample was eluted from the column at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min at room temperature (Pressure: ≈600 psi). The mixture was dissolved in Ethanol at concentration of 1% (w/v) and the injection volume was 15 μL.
LCMS
LCMS General Procedure
The HPLC measurement was performed using a Dionex 3000 module comprising a quaternary pump with degasser, an autosampler, a column oven (set at 29° C.), a diode-array detector DAD and a column as specified in the respective methods below. Flow from the column was split to a MS spectrometer. The MS detector (LCQ Fleet Thermo Scientific) was configured with an electrospray ionization source. Mass spectra were acquired by scanning from 50 to 800 in 0.48 second. The capillary needle voltage was 5 kV in positive and negative ionization mode and the source temperature was maintained at 275° C. Nitrogen was used as the nebulizer gas, the flow was 8 l/min. Data acquisition was performed with Thermo Xcalibur Qual Browser.
LCMS—Procedure
In addition to the general procedure, reversed-phase HPLC was carried out on a Kinetex XB-C18 column Phenomenex (1.7 μm, 50×2.1 mm) with a flow rate of 0.300 ml/min. Two mobile phases were used, mobile phase A: ammonium formate buffer solution at pH 3.5; mobile phase B: acetonitrile (Chromasolv Sigma-Aldrich), and they were employed to run a gradient conditions from 15% B to 98% in 4.5 minutes, hold these condition for 1.35 minutes and then 15% B in 0.1 minutes and hold these conditions for 3 minutes in order to reequilibrate the column. An injection volume of 1 μl was used.

Examples of the Invention were Found to be P2X7 Inhibitors Using a Screen Quest™ Fluo-8 No Wash Calcium Assay Kit.
Extracellular binding of Bz-ATP to P2X7 receptor opens the channel and allows Ca2+ influx into the cells. This Ca2+ entry was measured in HEK-293 cells stably transfected with P2X7 receptor using Screen Quest™ Fluo-8 No Wash Calcium Assay Kit (AAt Bioquest®, cat. 36316). Once inside the cell, the lipophilic blocking groups of Fluo-8 are cleaved by non-specific cell esterases, resulting in a negatively-charged fluorescent dye that stays inside cells. Its fluorescence increases upon binding to calcium. When HEK-293/P2X7 cell are stimulated with Bz-ATP, Ca2+ enters the cells and the fluorescence of Fluo-8 NW increases. The dye has an absorption spectrum compatible with excitation at 488 nm by argon laser sources and its emission wavelength is in the range of 515-575 nm.
HEK-293 cells stably transfected with P2X7 receptor were seeded overnight in growth medium at 10,000 to 20,000 cell/well in 384-well plate. 24 hours later, the medium was removed and the cells were pre-loaded at RT for 1 hour with 20 μL/w of Fluo-8 NW. Then 10 μL/w of tests compounds and reference antagonist A438079 at 3×-concentration were injected with the FLIPRTETRA and the kinetic response over a period of five minutes was monitored. A second injection of 15 μL/w of 3× reference activator (Bz-ATP at EC80) was performed with the FLIPRTETRA and the signal of the emitted fluorescence was recorded for additional three minutes. All the experiment was carried out in a Low Divalent Cation Assay Buffer (0.3 mM Ca2+ and 0 mM Mg2+). The effect of the test compounds was measured as percent inhibition vs the reference antagonist and IC50 values were calculated accordingly. Here are reported the potency ranges as A, B, C and D, where A is <200 nM; B is 200 nM-104, C is 1-10 μM, D is >10 μM.
Examples of the Invention were Found to be P2X7 Inhibitors Using YO-PRO®-1 Uptake Assay.
YO-PRO®-1 is a fluorescent DNA-binding dye with a MW of 374 Da (Molecular Probes®, cat. Y3603). This method is based upon the presumed ability of YO-PRO®-1 to enter through the dilated or “large pore form” of P2X7 receptor and to bind to intracellular DNA whereupon it increases many fold its fluorescence intensity. The dye ha an absorption spectrum compatible with excitation at 488 nm by argon laser sources and its emission wavelength is in the range of 515-575 nm. The aim of this assay was to validate the interaction of antagonists with P2X7 receptor using an alternative readout to Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dyes.
HEK-293 cells stably transfected with P2X7 receptor were seeded overnight un growth medium at 20,000 cell/well in 384-well plate. 24 hours later, the medium was removed, the cells were washed with Low Divalent Cation Assay Buffer (0.3 mM Ca2+ and 0 mM Mg2+) and then pre-loaded with 20 μL/w of 5 μM YO-PRO®-1 dye.
FLIPRTETRA fluorescence measurement immediately started. Then 10 μL/w of test compounds and reference antagonist A438079 at 3×-concentration were injected with the FLIPRTETRA and the kinetic response over a period of five minutes was monitored. A second injection of 10 μL/w of 3× Bz-ATP EC80 (30 μM) was performed with the FLIPRTETRA and the signal of the emitted fluorescence was recorded for additional 60 minutes. All the experiment was carried out with a Low Divalent Cation Assay Buffer (0.3 mM Ca2+ and 0 mM Mg2+).
The effect of the test compounds was measured as percent inhibition vs the reference antagonist and IC50 values were calculated accordingly.
Examples of the Invention were Found to be Active on Human P2X7 Channel Assay by Automated Patch-Clamp.
In order to directly monitor the block of P2X7 channel, an electrophysiological assay was developed and implemented on the QPatch16X automated electrophysiology instrument.
HEK-293 cells expressing the P2X7 channels were cultured in modified EMEM.
72 hours before experiment, 5 million cells were seeded onto T225 flasks. Just before the experiment cells were washed twice, detached from the flask with trypsin-EDTA, re-suspended in the suspension solution and placed on the QPatch 16x.
The compounds (20 mM in a 100% DMSO) stored at −20° C. were prepared the day of the experiment (a first dilution 1:20 in 100% DMSO to prepare a 1 mM stock solution, then a 1 microM solution in external solution+a serial dilution 1:10).
The standard whole-cell voltage clamp experiments were performed at room temperature. From these experiments the multihole technology was used and the data were sampled at 2 KHz.
The intracellular solution contained (mM) 135 CsF, 10 NaCl, 1 EGTA, 10 HEPES, (pH 7.2 with CsOH) whereas the extracellular contained (mM) 145 NaCl, 4 KCl, 0.5 MgCl2, 1 CaCl2, 10 HEPES, 10 Glc (pH 7.4 with NaOH).
After establishment of the seal and the passage in the whole cell configuration, the cells were held at −80 mV. The P2XR7 current was evoked by applying 100 microM of BzATP alone (4 times) and then in the presence increasing concentrations of the compound under investigation (1, 10, 100 and 1000 nM).
The pre-incubation periods 5 to 8 contain increasing concentrations of the compound of interest (1, 10, 100 and 1000 nM), as illustrated in FIGURE (application protocol).
The maximal inward current evoked by BzATP in absence or presence of increasing concentrations of the compounds under investigation was measured and normalized. The potential agonist effect was measured as % of control and as IC50 determined fitting the dose-response curves data with the following equation:
Y=100/(1+10{circumflex over ( )}((Log IC50−X)*HillSlope))
Where:
X=log of concentration
Y=normalized response, 100% down to 0%, decreasing as X increases.
Log IC50: same log units as X
HillSlope: slope factor or HS, untiless.
