Abstract
The invention relates to a method of treating dyskinesias associated with dopamine agonist therapy in a mammal which comprises administering to said mammal a compound, as defined herein, which is an antagonist of the AMPA receptor. Dopamine agonist therapy, as referred to in the present invention, is generally used in the treatment of a central nervous system disorder such as Parkinson's disease.
Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a method of administering AMPA receptor antagonists to treat dyskinesias in mammals, such as humans, resulting from the use of dopamine agonist therapy. Dopamine agonist therapy, as referred to in the present invention, is generally used in the treatment of a central nervous system disorder such as Parkinson's disease. In particular, this invention relates to the treatment of such dyskinesias using one or more AMPA receptor antagonists that are disclosed and claimed in PCT international application number PCT/IB97/00134 (filed Feb. 17, 1997), United States provisional patent application number 60/038905 (filed Feb. 28, 1997), United States provisional patent application number 60/049082 (filed Jun. 9, 1997), United States provisional patent application number 60/049083 (filed Jun. 9, 1997), United States provisional patent application number 60/038540 (filed Feb. 28, 1997), United States provisional patent application entitled "Quinazolin-4-one AMPA Antagonists" filed Jul. 21, 1997 with Bertrand L. Chenard, Willard M. Welch, and Anthony R. Reinhold named as inventors, and United States provisional patent application entitled "Novel Atropisomers Of 2,3-Disubstituted-(5,6)-Heteroarylfused-Pyrimidin-4-ones" filed Aug. 27, 1997 with Bertrand L. Chenard and Willard M. Welch named as inventors. The foregoing United States provisional and PCT international patent applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Dyskinesias are involuntary physical movements which may include chorea, tremor, ballism, dystonia, athetosis, myoclonus and tic. Dyskinesias often result from treatment of the physical symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is characterized by tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability. Such motor abnormalities may be reduced by therapies which increase dopamine receptor stimulation. These therapies include drugs which directly stimulate dopamine receptors (such as bromocriptine) or increase the levels of dopamine (such as L-dopa or drugs which inhibit dopamine metabolism). In the present invention, such therapies which increase dopamine receptor stimulation are referred to generally as dopamine agonist therapy. After a period of chronic administration of dopamine agonist therapy to treat Parkinson's disease, new motor abnormalities may emerge. The motor abnormalities associated with dopamine agonist therapy include choreatic dyskinesias and dystonias. The present invention relates to the treatment of dyskinesias associated with dopamine agonist therapy in the treatment of a central nervous system (CNS) disorder, in particular Parkinson's disease, through the administration of an AMPA receptor antagonist as provided below.
The compounds that may be used in accord with the present invention are antagonists of the AMPA subtype of the glutamate receptor. Glutamate is the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system of mammals. Glutamate synaptic transmission is mediated by several families of receptors including the .alpha.-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA), N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), kainic acid (KA), and metabotropic receptors. The AMPA receptor subtype mediates fast excitatory transmission throughout the brain, including areas involved in movement. By inhibiting the AMPA receptor through administration of an AMPA receptor antagonist, dyskinesias associated with dopamine agonist therapy may be treated in accord with the present invention as described below.

In the compounds of groups (A) and (B), referred to above, the designation "(S)" appearing at the beginning of each compound refers to the configuration of each compound as an atropisomer. The compounds of group (F) are also atropisomers, and the compounds of groups (C), (D) and (E) include atropisomers. Atropisomers are conformational isomers that occur when rotation about a single bond in the molecule is prevented or greatly slowed as a result of steric interactions with other parts of the molecule and the substituents at both ends of the single bond are unsymmetrical. A detailed account of atropisomers can be found in Jerry March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 101-102 (4th ed. 1992) and in Oki, Top. Stereochem., 14, 1-81 (1983). Each compound within groups (A), (B) and (F) has the same (S) configuration as an atropisomer. This configuration is described in United States provisional patent applications numbers 60/038905 (filed Feb. 28, 1997) and 60/038540 (filed Feb. 28, 1997), both of which are referred to above. This configuration may be illustrated with respect to the first compound listed in group (A) which is (S)-3-(2-chloro-phenyl)-2-[2-(5-diethylaminomethyl-2-fluoro-phenyl)-vinyl]-6-fluoro-3H-quinazolin-4-one. Below, both atropisomeric configurations are illustrated. ##STR7##
In the above structures, the bold lines indicate that the bolded atoms of the 2-chloro-phenyl group are sterically restricted so as to exist above the plane of the quinazolinone ring. This steric restriction is due to a rotational energy barrier preventing free rotation about the single bond connecting the nitrogen at position 3 of the quinazolinone ring to the 2-chloro-phenyl group. The above (S) configuration is also illustrated in formula I of group (F). The other compounds of groups (A), (B) and (F) are all atropisomers having an (S) configuration analogous to the structure labeled "(S) Configuration" illustrated above. The compounds of groups (C), (D), and (E) also exist, and may be isolated as, atropisomers having (S) and (R) configurations corresponding to the (S) and (R) configurations illustrated above.
In addition to the atropisomerism referred to above, the compounds of groups (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F) may have chiral centers and therefore may exist in different enantiomeric and diastereomic forms. This invention relates to all optical isomers and all stereoisomers of compounds of groups (A), (B), (C), (D), and (F), and mixtures thereof, and to all methods of treatment defined above that contain or employ them, respectively.
The method of the present invention also relates to the use of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of groups (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F). The acids which are used to prepare the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the aforementioned base compounds of this invention are those which form non-toxic acid addition salts, i.e., salts containing pharmacologically acceptable anions, such as the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, nitrate, sulfate, bisulfate, phosphate, acid phosphate, acetate, lactate, citrate, acid citrate, tartrate, bitartrate, succinate, maleate, fumarate, gluconate, saccharate, benzoate, methanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate and pamoate [i.e., 1,1'-methylene-bis-(2-hydroxy-3-naphthoate)]salts.
The invention also relates to base addition salts of the compounds of groups (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F). The chemical bases that may be used as reagents to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable base salts of those compounds of groups (A), (B),(C), (D),(E), and (F) that are acidic in nature are those that form non-toxic base salts with such compounds. Such non-toxic base salts include, but are not limited to those derived from such pharmacologically acceptable cations such as alkali metal cations (e.g., potassium and sodium) and alkaline earth metal cations (e.g., calcium and magnesium), ammonium or water-soluble amine addition salts such as N-methylglucamine (meglumine), and the lower alkanolammonium and other base salts of pharmaceutically acceptable organic amines.





DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of groups (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F) are readily prepared. The compounds of group (A) can be prepared and separated as atropisomers according to one or more methods referred to in United States provisional patent application number 60/038905 (filed Feb. 28, 1997), referred to above. The compounds of group (B) can be prepared and separated as atropisomers according to one or more methods referred to in United States provisional patent application number 60/038540 (filed Feb. 28, 1997), referred to above. The compounds of group (C) can be prepared according to one or more methods referred to in PCT international application number PCT/IB97/00134 (filed Feb. 17, 1997), referred to above. The compounds of group (D) can be prepared according to one or more methods referred to in United States provisional patent application number 60/049083 (filed Jun. 9, 1997), referred to above. The compounds of group (E) can be prepared according to one or more methods referred to in United States provisional patent application number 60/049082 (filed Jun. 9, 1997), referred to above, and United States provisional patent application entitled "Quinazolin-4-one AMPA Antagonists", filed Jul. 21, 1997 with Bertrand L. Chenard, Willard M. Welch, and Anthony R. Reinhold named as inventors, referred to above. The compounds of group (F) can be prepared according to one or more methods referred to in United States provisional patent application entitled "Novel Atropisomrs Of 2,3-Disubstituted-(5,6)-Heteroarylfused-Pyrimidin-4-ones" filed Aug. 27, 1997 with Bertrand L. Chenard and Willard M. Welch named as inventors, referred to above.
The compounds of groups (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F), referred to above, which are basic in nature are capable of forming a wide variety of different salts with various inorganic and organic acids. Although such salts must be pharmaceutically acceptable for administration to animals, it is often desirable in practice to initially isolate a compound of group (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), or (F) from the reaction mixture as a pharmaceutically unacceptable salt and then simply convert the latter back to the free base compound by treatment with an alkaline reagent, and subsequently convert the free base to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt. The acid addition salts of the base compounds of the method of this invention are readily prepared by treating the base compound with a substantially equivalent amount of the chosen mineral or organic acid in an aqueous solvent medium or in a suitable organic solvent such as methanol or ethanol. Upon careful evaporation of the solvent, the desired solid salt is obtained.
The acids which are used to prepare the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the base compounds of groups (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F) are those which form non-toxic acid addition salts, i.e., salts containing pharmacologically acceptable anions, such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, nitrate, sulfate or bisulfate, phosphate or acid phosphate, acetate, lactate, citrate or acid citrate, tartrate or bitartrate, succinate, maleate, fumarate, gluconate, saccharate, benzoate, methanesulfonate and pamoate [i.e., 1,1'-methylene-bis-(2-hydroxy-3-naphthoate)] salts.
Those compounds of groups (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F) which are acidic in nature are capable of forming base salts with various pharmacologically acceptable cations. Examples of such salts include the alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal salts and particular, the sodium and potassium salts. These salts are all prepared by conventional techniques. The chemical bases which are used as reagents to prepare the pharmaceutically acceptable base salts of this invention are those which form non-toxic base salts with the herein described acidic compounds of groups (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F). These non-toxic base salts include those derived from such pharmacologically acceptable cations as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, etc. These salts can easily be prepared by treating the corresponding acidic compounds with an aqueous solution containing the desired pharmacologically acceptable cations, and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness, preferably under reduced pressure. Alternatively, they may also be prepared by mixing lower alkanolic solutions of the acidic compounds and the desired alkali metal alkoxide together, and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness in the same manner as before. In either case, stoichiometric quantities of reagents are preferably employed in order to ensure completeness of reaction of maximum product of yields of the desired final product.
The in vitro and in vivo activity of the compounds of groups (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F) for AMPA receptor antagonism can be determined by methods available to one of ordinary skill in the art. One method for determining the activity of the compounds of groups (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F) is by blockage of AMPA receptor activation-induced .sup.45 Ca.sup.2+ uptake into neurons. A specific method for determining blockage of AMPA receptor activation-induced .sup.45 Ca.sup.2+ uptake into neurons is described below.
Neuronal Primary Cultures
Primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule neurons are prepared as described by Parks, T. N., Artman, L. D., Alasti, N., and Nemeth, E. F., Modulation Of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor-Mediated Increases In Cytosolic Calcium in Cultured Rat Cerebellar Granule Cells, Brain Res. 552, 13-22 (1991). According to this method, cerebella are removed from 8 day old CD rats, minced into 1 mm pieces and incubated for 15 minutes at 37.degree. C. in calcium-magnesium free Tyrode's solution containing 0.1% trypsin. The tissue is then triturated using a fine bore Pasteur pipette. The cell suspension is plated onto poly-D-lysine coated 96-well tissue culture plates at 10.sup.5 cells per well. Medium consists of Minimal Essential Medium (MEM), with Earle's salts, 10% heat inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 21 mM glucose, Penicillin-Streptomycin (100 units per ml) and 25 mM KCl. After 24 hours, the medium is replaced with fresh medium containing 10 .mu.M cytosine arabinoside to inhibit cell division. Cultures are used 6 to 8 days later.
AMPA Receptor Activation-induced.sup.45 Ca.sup.2+ Uptake
The effects of drugs on AMPA receptor activation-induced .sup.45 Ca.sup.2+ uptake can be examined in rat cerebellar granule cell cultures prepared as described above. Cultures in 96 well plates are preincubated for approximately 3 hours in serum free medium and then for 10 minutes in a Mg.sup.2+ -free balanced salt solution (in mM: 120 NaCl, 5 KCl, 0.33 NaH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 1.8 CaCl.sub.2, 22.0 glucose and 10.0 HEPES at pH 7.4) containing 0.5 mM DTT, 10 .mu.M glycine and drugs at 2.times.final concentration. The reaction is started by rapid addition of an equal volume of the balanced salt solution containing 100 .mu.M of the AMPA receptor agonist kainic acid and .sup.45 Ca.sup.2+ (final specific activity 250 Ci/mmol). After 10 minutes at 25.degree. C., the reaction is stopped by aspirating the .sup.45 Ca.sup.2+ -containing solution and washing the cells 5.times.in an ice cold balanced salt solution containing no added calcium and 0.5 mM EDTA. Cells are then lysed by overnight incubation in 0.1% Triton-.times.100 and radioactivity in the lysate is then determined. all compounds of groups (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F), referred to above, at concentrations of 0.5 .mu.M or less inhibited the AMPA receptor activation-induced .sup.45 Ca.sup.2+ uptake by 50% or more.
The following procedure may be used to assess the efficacy of the compounds of groups groups (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F) in the treatment of dyskinesias associated with dopamine agonist therapy in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Aged, female rhesus monkeys are rendered Parkinsonian as follows. Each monkey is first infused with 0.4 mg/kg MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) via the right internal carotid artery. After being evaluated behaviorally for 3 to 6 weeks and being judged to have stable unilateral deficits, the animals receive a second MPTP injection via the left internal carotid artery. Monkeys lesioned according to this protocol have been shown to have stable, bilateral deficits that are responsive to L-dopa and apomorphine. Once the monkeys are Parkinsonian, dyskinesias are induced over a period of approximately 3 to 6 weeks by treating the monkeys twice daily with subcutaneous injections of PHNO ((+)-4-propyl-9-hydroxynaphthoxazine) (a dopamine agonist). Dyskinesias are assessed 30 minutes after PHNO injection and every 30 minutes for the next 120 minutes (5 measurements) taking into account the following: type of dyskinesia (chorea, dystonia); intensity (0=absent; 1=mild; 2=moderate; 3=severe); and topography (arm, leg, trunk, generalized). The overall score (0-3) is averaged over the 5 measurements. Scoring is performed blindly from coded videotapes. A compound of group (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), or (F) is then administered together with the dopamine agonist at dosages ranging from 0.05 mg/kg to 1 mg/kg.
Pharmaceutical compositions for use in the method of the present invention may be prepared according to methods familiar to those skilled in the art. For example, pharmaceutical compositions containing a compound of group (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), or (F), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (hereinafter the "active compound(s)") may be formulated in a conventional manner using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Thus, the active compounds may be formulated for oral, buccal, intranasal, parenteral (e.g., intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous), transdermal (e.g., patch, ointment, cream or iontophoresis), or rectal administration or in a form suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation.
For oral administration, the pharmaceutical compositions may take the form of, for example, tablets or capsules prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as binding agents (e.g., pregelatinised maize starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); fillers (e.g., lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or calcium phosphate); lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate, talc or silica); disintegrants (e.g., potato starch or sodium starch glycollate); or wetting agents (e.g., sodium lauryl sulphate). The tablets may be coated by methods well known in the art. Liquid preparations for oral administration may take the form of, for example, solutions, syrups or suspensions, or they may be presented as a dry product for constitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may be prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agents (e.g., sorbitol syrup, methyl cellulose or hydrogenated edible fats); emulsifying agents (e.g., lecithin or acacia); non-aqueous vehicles (e.g., almond oil, oily esters or ethyl alcohol); and preservatives (e.g., methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid).
For buccal administration, the pharmaceutical composition may take the form of tablets or lozenges formulated in conventional manner.
The active compounds may be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, including using conventional catheterization techniques or infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulating agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for reconstitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile pyrogen-free water, before use.
The active compounds may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g., containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.
For intranasal administration or administration by inhalation, the active compounds are conveniently delivered in the form of a solution or suspension from a pump spray container that is squeezed or pumped by the patient or as an aerosal spray presentation from a pressurized container or a nebulizer, with the use of a suitable propellant, e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. The pressurized container or nebulizer may contain a solution or suspension of the active compound. Capsules and cartridges (made, for example, from gelatin) for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated containing a powder mix of an active compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.
A proposed dose of the active compounds for use in the method of the present invention for oral, parenteral or buccal administration to the average adult human requiring treatment is 0.01 to 100 mg/kg of the active ingredient per unit dose which could be administered, for example, 1 to 4 times per day.
Aerosol formulations for use in the method of the present invention in the treatment of an average adult human are preferably arranged so that each metered dose or "puff" of aerosol contains 20 .mu.g to 1000 .mu.g of the active compound. The overall daily dose with an aerosol will be within the range 100 .mu.g to 10 mg. Administration may be several times daily, for example 2, 3, 4 or 8 times, giving for example, 1, 2 or 3 doses each time.
For transdermal administration the composition may take the form of patches, creams, ointments or iontophoresis formulated in conventional manner such as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,004,610 and 5,364,630, issued Apr. 2, 1991 and Nov. 15, 1994 respectively.
