The human muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1 (mAChR M1) is a protein of 479 amino acids encoded by the CHRM1 gene. The mAChR M1 is one of five member of the family of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M1-M5), which are widely expressed throughout the body where they have varying roles in cognitive, sensory, motor, and autonomic functions. The M1 mAChR is found in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, particularly in the cerebral cortex and sympathetic ganglia. Based on the potential role of mAChR M1 in seizure activity and motor control, highly selective mAChR M1 antagonists may have potential utility in the treatment of some epileptic disorders, as well as certain movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and fragile X syndrome.
This disclosure provides, for example, compounds and compositions which are antagonists of the muscarinic acetylcholine M1 receptor (mAChR M1), and their use as medicinal agents, processes for their preparation, and pharmaceutical compositions that include disclosed compounds as at least one active ingredient. The disclosure also provides for the use of disclosed compounds as medicaments and/or in the manufacture of medicaments for the inhibition of muscarinic acetylcholine M1 receptor activity in patients.

“A “tautomer” refers to a molecule wherein a proton shift from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the same molecule is possible. In certain embodiments, the compounds presented herein exist as tautomers. In circumstances where tautomerization is possible, a chemical equilibrium of the tautomers will exist. The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including physical state, temperature, solvent, and pH. Some examples of tautomeric equilibrium include:
“Pharmaceutically acceptable salt” includes both acid and base addition salts. A pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any one of the pyrazole compounds described herein is intended to encompass any and all pharmaceutically suitable salt forms. Preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds described herein are pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt” refers to those salts which retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free bases, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable, and which are formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, hydroiodic acid, hydrofluoric acid, phosphorous acid, and the like. Also included are salts that are formed with organic acids such as aliphatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids, phenyl-substituted alkanoic acids, hydroxy alkanoic acids, alkanedioic acids, aromatic acids, aliphatic and aromatic sulfonic acids, etc. and include, for example, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, and the like. Exemplary salts thus include sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfites, nitrates, phosphates, monohydrogenphosphates, dihydrogenphosphates, metaphosphates, pyrophosphates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, acetates, trifluoroacetates, propionates, caprylates, isobutyrates, oxalates, malonates, succinate suberates, sebacates, fumarates, maleates, mandelates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, phthalates, benzenesulfonates, toluenesulfonates, phenylacetates, citrates, lactates, malates, tartrates, methanesulfonates, and the like. Also contemplated are salts of amino acids, such as arginates, gluconates, and galacturonates (see, for example, Berge S. M et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts,” Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 66:1-19 (1997). Acid addition salts of basic compounds are prepared by contacting the free base forms with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce the salt.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt” refers to those salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free acids, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. These salts are prepared from addition of an inorganic base or an organic base to the free acid. In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts are formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, but are not limited to, sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, aluminum salts and the like. Salts derived from organic bases include, but are not limited to, salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines and basic ion exchange resins, for example, isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, 2-diethylaminoethanol, dicyclohexylamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, caffeine, procaine, N,N-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, hydrabamine, choline, betaine, ethylenediamine, ethylenedianiline, N-methylglucamine, glucosamine, methylglucamine, theobromine, purines, piperazine, piperidine, N-ethylpiperidine, polyamine resins and the like. See Berge et al., supra.
“Prodrug” is meant to indicate a compound that is, in some embodiments, converted under physiological conditions or by solvolysis to a biologically active compound described herein. Thus, the term “prodrug” refers to a precursor of a biologically active compound that is pharmaceutically acceptable. A prodrug is typically inactive when administered to a subject, but is converted in vivo to an active compound, for example, by hydrolysis. The prodrug compound often offers advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility or delayed release in a mammalian organism (see, e.g., Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs (1985), pp. 7-9, 21-24 (Elsevier, Amsterdam).
A discussion of prodrugs is provided in Higuchi, T., et al., “Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems,” A.C.S. Symposium Series, Vol. 14, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987.
The term “prodrug” is also meant to include any covalently bonded carriers, which release the active compound in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of an active compound, as described herein, are prepared by modifying functional groups present in the active compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent active compound. Prodrugs include compounds wherein a hydroxy, amino or mercapto group is bonded to any group that, when the prodrug of the active compound is administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxy, free amino or free mercapto group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol or amine functional groups in the active compounds and the like.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable solvate” refers to a composition of matter that is the solvent addition form. In some embodiments, solvates contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of a solvent, and are formed during the process of making with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. “Hydrates” are formed when the solvent is water, or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. Solvates of compounds described herein are conveniently prepared or formed during the processes described herein. The compounds provided herein optionally exist in either unsolvated as well as solvated forms.
The terms “allosteric site” and “allosteric binding site” refer to a ligand binding site that is topographically distinct from the orthosteric binding site.
The term “ligand” refers to a natural or synthetic molecule that is capable of binding to or associating with a receptor to form a complex and mediate, prevent, or modify a biological effect. The term “ligand” is meant to encompass allosteric modulators, inhibitors, activators, agonists, antagonists, natural substrates, and analogs of natural substrates.
The terms “natural ligand” and “endogenous ligand” refer to a naturally occurring ligand which binds to a receptor.
The terms “orthosteric site” and “orthosteric binding site” refer to the primary binding site on a receptor that is recognized by an endogenous ligand or agonist for the receptor. For example, the orthosteric site on the muscarinic acetylcholine M1 receptor is the site that acetylcholine binds.
The term “mAChR M1 receptor antagonist” refers to any exogenously administered compound or agent that is capable of partially or completely inhibiting, or reversing, the effect of an agonist (e.g. acetylcholine) on the mAChR M1 receptor. The term is inclusive of compounds or agents characterized or described as antagonists, partial antagonists, and negative allosteric modulators. For example, mAChR M1 receptor antagonists can mediate their effects by binding to the orthosteric site or to allosteric sites, or they may interact at unique binding sites not normally involved in the biological regulation of the receptor's activity. Thus, a mAChR M1 receptor antagonist directly or indirectly inhibits the activity of the mAChR M1 receptor in the presence or in the absence of acetylcholine, or another agonist, in an animal, in particular a mammal, for example a human. In various aspects, a mAChR M1 receptor antagonist decreases the activity of the mAChR M1 receptor in a cell in the presence of extracellular acetylcholine. In some embodiments, a compound that is a “mAChR M1 receptor antagonist” includes a compound that is a “mAChR M1 receptor competitive antagonist,” a “mAChR M1 receptor noncompetitive antagonist,” a “mAChR M1 receptor partial antagonist,” or a “mAChR M1 receptor negative allosteric modulator.”
The term “mAChR M1 receptor competitive antagonist” refers to any exogenously administered compound or agent that is capable of binding to the orthosteric site of mAChR M1 receptors without activating the receptor. Thus, a competitive antagonist can interact with a mAChR M1 receptor and compete with the endogenous ligand, acetylcholine, for binding to the receptor and decrease the ability of the receptor to transduce an intracellular signal in response to endogenous ligand binding.
The term “mAChR M1 receptor noncompetitive antagonist” refers to any exogenously administered compound or agent that binds to site that is not the orthosteric binding site of mAChR M1 receptors, and is capable of partially or completely inhibiting, or reversing, the effect of an agonist (e.g. acetylcholine) on the mAChR M1 receptor. Thus, a non-competitive antagonist can interact with a mAChR M1 receptor and decrease the binding of the endogenous ligand, acetylcholine, to the receptor and/or decrease the ability of the receptor to transduce an intracellular signal in response to endogenous ligand binding.
The term “mAChR M1 partial antagonist” refers to any exogenously administered compound or agent that can bind to an orthosteric or an allosteric site, but the effect of binding is to only partially block effect of mAChR M1 receptor response to an agonist, e.g. acetylcholine. Thus, a partial antagonist can interact with a mAChR M1 receptor and but is not capable of fully inhibiting the response of the mAChR M1 receptor to an agonist, e.g. acetylcholine.
The term “mAChR M1 negative allosteric modulator” refers to any exogenously administered compound or agent that binds an allosteric site that directly or indirectly inhibits the activity of the mAChR M1 receptor in the presence of acetylcholine, or another agonist, in an animal, in particular a mammal, for example a human. For example, while not intended to be limiting towards the present disclosure, a selective muscarinic M1 negative allosteric modulator can preferentially bind to the muscarinic M1 receptor and decrease muscarinic M1 signaling by acting as a non-competitive antagonist. In one aspect, a mAChR M1 receptor negative allosteric modulator decreases the activity of the mAChR M1 receptor in a cell in the presence of extracellular acetylcholine.
The term “subject” or “patient” encompasses mammals. Examples of mammals include, but are not limited to, any member of the Mammalian class: humans, non-human primates such as chimpanzees, and other apes and monkey species; farm animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, goats, swine; domestic animals such as rabbits, dogs, and cats; laboratory animals including rodents, such as rats, mice and guinea pigs, and the like. In one aspect, the subject is a human.
As used herein, “treatment” or “treating” or “palliating” or “ameliorating” are used interchangeably herein. These terms refer to an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including but not limited to therapeutic benefit and/or a prophylactic benefit. By “therapeutic benefit” is meant eradication or amelioration of the underlying disorder being treated. Also, a therapeutic benefit is achieved with the eradication or amelioration of one or more of the physiological symptoms associated with the underlying disorder such that an improvement is observed in the patient, notwithstanding that the patient is still afflicted with the underlying disorder. For prophylactic benefit, the compositions are administered to a patient at risk of developing a particular disease, or to a patient reporting one or more of the physiological symptoms of a disease, even though a diagnosis of this disease has not been made.
As used herein, “EC50” is intended to refer to the concentration of a substance (e.g., a compound or a drug) that is required for 50% activation or enhancement of a biological process, or component of a process, including a protein, subunit, organelle, ribonucleoprotein, etc. For example, EC50 can refer to the concentration of agonist that provokes a response halfway between the baseline and maximum response in an in vitro assay. In some embodiments, in vitro assay systems utilize a cell line that either expresses endogenously a target of interest, or has been transfected with a suitable expression vector that directs expression of a recombinant form of the target.
As used herein, “IC50” is intended to refer to the concentration of a substance (e.g., a compound or a drug) that is required for 50% inhibition of a biological process, or component of a process, including a protein, subunit, organelle, ribonucleoprotein, etc. For example, IC50 refers to the half maximal (50%) inhibitory concentration (IC) of a substance as determined in a suitable assay. For example, an IC50 for mAChR M1 receptor can be determined in an in vitro assay system.
This disclosure provides, compounds which are antagonists of the muscarinic acetylcholine M1 receptor (mAChR M1). These compounds, and compositions comprising these compounds, are useful for the treatment or prevention of neurological disorders. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are useful for treating Parkinson's disease.

Isomers
The compounds described herein include all possible tautomers within the formulas described herein.
Furthermore, in some embodiments, the compounds described herein exist as geometric isomers. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein possess one or more double bonds. The compounds presented herein include all cis, trans, syn, anti, entgegen (E), and zusammen (Z) isomers as well as the corresponding mixtures thereof. In some situations, compounds exist as tautomers.
In some situations, the compounds described herein possess one or more chiral centers and each center exists in the (R)-configuration, or (S)-configuration. The compounds described herein include all diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as the corresponding mixtures thereof. In additional embodiments of the compounds and methods provided herein, mixtures of enantiomers and/or diastereoisomers, resulting from a single preparative step, combination, or interconversion are useful for the applications described herein. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are prepared as optically pure enantiomers by chiral chromatographic resolution of the racemic mixture. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are prepared as their individual stereoisomers by reacting a racemic mixture of the compound with an optically active resolving agent to form a pair of diastereoisomeric compounds, separating the diastereomers and recovering the optically pure enantiomers. In some embodiments, dissociable complexes are preferred (e.g., crystalline diastereomeric salts). In some embodiments, the diastereomers have distinct physical properties (e.g., melting points, boiling points, solubilities, reactivity, etc.) and are separated by taking advantage of these dissimilarities. In some embodiments, the diastereomers are separated by chiral chromatography, or preferably, by separation/resolution techniques based upon differences in solubility. In some embodiments, the optically pure enantiomer is then recovered, along with the resolving agent, by any practical means that would not result in racemization.
The term “geometric isomer” refers to E or Z geometric isomers (e.g., cis or trans) of an alkene double bond. The term “positional isomer” refers to structural isomers around a central ring, such as ortho-, meta-, and para-isomers around a benzene ring.
Labeled Compounds
The compounds disclosed herein, in some embodiments, are used in different enriched isotopic forms, e.g., enriched in the content of 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C and/or 14C. In one particular embodiment, the compound is deuterated in at least one position. Such deuterated forms can be made by the procedure described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,846,514 and 6,334,997. As described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,846,514 and 6,334,997, deuteration can improve the metabolic stability and or efficacy, thus increasing the duration of action of drugs.
Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are intended to include compounds which differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structures except for the replacement of a hydrogen by a deuterium or tritium, or the replacement of a carbon by 13C- or 14C-enriched carbon are within the scope of the present disclosure.
The compounds of the present disclosure optionally contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be labeled with isotopes, such as for example, deuterium (2H), tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or carbon-14 (14C).

These pharmaceutical compositions include those suitable for oral, rectal, topical, buccal, parenteral (e.g., subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, or intravenous) vaginal, ophthalmic, or aerosol administration.
Exemplary pharmaceutical compositions are used in the form of a pharmaceutical preparation, for example, in solid, semisolid or liquid form, which includes one or more of a disclosed compound, as an active ingredient, in a mixture with an organic or inorganic carrier or excipient suitable for external, enteral or parenteral applications. In some embodiments, the active ingredient is compounded, for example, with the usual non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for tablets, pellets, capsules, suppositories, solutions, emulsions, suspensions, and any other form suitable for use. The active object compound is included in the pharmaceutical composition in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect upon the process or condition of the disease.
In some embodiments for preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, e.g., conventional tableting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate or gums, and other pharmaceutical diluents, e.g., water, to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a disclosed compound or a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition is readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules.
In solid dosage forms for oral administration (capsules, tablets, pills, dragees, powders, granules and the like), the subject composition is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and/or any of the following: (1) fillers or extenders, such as starches, cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, silicified microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and/or silicic acid; (2) binders, such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, hypromellose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sucrose and/or acacia; (3) humectants, such as glycerol; (4) disintegrating agents, such as crospovidone, croscarmellose sodium, sodium starch glycolate, agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; (5) solution retarding agents, such as paraffin; (6) absorption accelerators, such as quaternary ammonium compounds; (7) wetting agents, such as, for example, docusate sodium, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; (8) absorbents, such as kaolin and bentonite clay; (9) lubricants, such a talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof; and (10) coloring agents. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, in some embodiments, the compositions comprise buffering agents. In some embodiments, solid compositions of a similar type are also employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugars, as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.
In some embodiments, a tablet is made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. In some embodiments, compressed tablets are prepared using binder (for example, gelatin or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose), lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, disintegrant (for example, sodium starch glycolate or cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), surface-active or dispersing agent. In some embodiments, molded tablets are made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the subject composition moistened with an inert liquid diluent. In some embodiments, tablets, and other solid dosage forms, such as dragees, capsules, pills and granules, are scored or prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings.
Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the subject composition, in some embodiments, the liquid dosage forms contain inert diluents, such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, cyclodextrins and mixtures thereof.

In some embodiments, formulations for rectal or vaginal administration are presented as a suppository, which are prepared by mixing a subject composition with one or more suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers comprising, for example, cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, a suppository wax or a salicylate, and which is solid at room temperature, but liquid at body temperature and, therefore, will melt in the body cavity and release the active agent.
Dosage forms for transdermal administration of a subject composition include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. In some embodiments, the active component is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants as required.
In some embodiments, the ointments, pastes, creams and gels contain, in addition to a subject composition, excipients, such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.
In some embodiments, powders and sprays contain, in addition to a subject composition, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. In some embodiments, sprays additionally contain customary propellants, such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons and volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons, such as butane and propane.
In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are formulated as eye drops for ophthalmic administration.
Compositions and compounds disclosed herein alternatively are administered by aerosol. This is accomplished by preparing an aqueous aerosol, liposomal preparation or solid particles containing the compound. In some embodiments, a non-aqueous (e.g., fluorocarbon propellant) suspension is used. In some embodiments, sonic nebulizers are used because they minimize exposing the agent to shear, which results in degradation of the compounds contained in the subject compositions. Ordinarily, an aqueous aerosol is made by formulating an aqueous solution or suspension of a subject composition together with conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and stabilizers. The carriers and stabilizers vary with the requirements of the particular subject composition, but typically include non-ionic surfactants (Tweens, Pluronics, or polyethylene glycol), innocuous proteins like serum albumin, sorbitan esters, oleic acid, lecithin, amino acids such as glycine, buffers, salts, sugars or sugar alcohols. Aerosols generally are prepared from isotonic solutions.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for parenteral administration comprise a subject composition in combination with one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders which are reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use, which, in some embodiments, contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient or suspending or thickening agents.
Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers which are employed in the pharmaceutical compositions include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils, such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters, such as ethyl oleate and cyclodextrins. Proper fluidity is maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.
Also contemplated are enteral pharmaceutical formulations including a disclosed compound and an enteric material; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient thereof. Enteric materials refer to polymers that are substantially insoluble in the acidic environment of the stomach, and that are predominantly soluble in intestinal fluids at specific pHs. The small intestine is the part of the gastrointestinal tract (gut) between the stomach and the large intestine, and includes the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The pH of the duodenum is about 5.5, the pH of the jejunum is about 6.5 and the pH of the distal ileum is about 7.5. Accordingly, enteric materials are not soluble, for example, until a pH of about 5.0, of about 5.2, of about 5.4, of about 5.6, of about 5.8, of about 6.0, of about 6.2, of about 6.4, of about 6.6, of about 6.8, of about 7.0, of about 7.2, of about 7.4, of about 7.6, of about 7.8, of about 8.0, of about 8.2, of about 8.4, of about 8.6, of about 8.8, of about 9.0, of about 9.2, of about 9.4, of about 9.6, of about 9.8, or of about 10.0. Exemplary enteric materials include cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate (HPMCP), polyvinyl acetate phthalate (PVAP), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS), cellulose acetate trimellitate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose succinate, cellulose acetate succinate, cellulose acetate hexahydrophthalate, cellulose propionate phthalate, cellulose acetate maleate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate, copolymer of methylmethacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate, copolymer of methyl acrylate, methylmethacrylate and methacrylic acid, copolymer of methylvinyl ether and maleic anhydride (Gantrez ES series), ethyl methyacrylate-methylmethacrylate-chlorotrimethylammonium ethyl acrylate copolymer, natural resins such as zein, shellac and copal collophorium, and several commercially available enteric dispersion systems (e.g., Eudragit L30D55, Eudragit FS30D, Eudragit L100, Eudragit S100, Kollicoat EMM30D, Estacryl 30D, Coateric, and Aquateric). The solubility of each of the above materials is either known or is readily determinable in vitro.
The dose of the composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II), (IIa), (III), or (IIIa) as described herein differs, depending upon the patient's (e.g., human) condition, that is, stage of the disease, general health status, age, and other factors.
Pharmaceutical compositions are administered in a manner appropriate to the disease to be treated (or prevented). An appropriate dose and a suitable duration and frequency of administration will be determined by such factors as the condition of the patient, the type and severity of the patient's disease, the particular form of the active ingredient, and the method of administration. In general, an appropriate dose and treatment regimen provides the composition(s) in an amount sufficient to provide therapeutic and/or prophylactic benefit (e.g., an improved clinical outcome, such as more frequent complete or partial remissions, or longer disease-free and/or overall survival, or a lessening of symptom severity. Optimal doses are generally determined using experimental models and/or clinical trials. In some embodiments, the optimal dose depends upon the body mass, weight, or blood volume of the patient.
Oral doses typically range from about 1.0 mg to about 1000 mg, one to four times, or more, per day.
Disclosed compounds are administered to subjects or patients (animals and humans) in need of such treatment in dosages that will provide optimal pharmaceutical efficacy. It will be appreciated that the dose required for use in any particular application will vary from patient to patient, not only with the particular compound or composition selected, but also with the route of administration, the nature of the condition being treated, the age and condition of the patient, concurrent medication or special diets then being followed by the patient, and other factors, with the appropriate dosage ultimately being at the discretion of the attendant physician. For treating clinical conditions and diseases noted above, a contemplated compound disclosed herein is administered orally, subcutaneously, topically, parenterally, by inhalation spray or rectally in dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles. Parenteral administration include subcutaneous injections, intravenous or intramuscular injections or infusion techniques.
Antagonists of MAChR M1
The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1 (mAChR M1) is found in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, particularly in the cerebral cortex and sympathetic ganglia. Notably, M1 is expressed on oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) in the central nervous system. Over time, OPCs will differentiate into myelin-producing oligodendrocytes. Myelin is indispensible for action potential conduction along the axon and its loss has been attributed to neurodegenerative disorders, specifically multiple sclerosis. In some embodiments, non-selective mAChR antagonists accelerate OPC differentiation into oligodendrocytes. In some embodiments, selective mAChR M1 antagonists are useful in the treatment of demyelinating disorders, such as multiple sclerosis.

Combination therapy is intended to embrace administration of multiple therapeutic agents in a sequential manner, that is, wherein each therapeutic agent is administered at a different time, as well as administration of these therapeutic agents, or at least two of the therapeutic agents, in a substantially simultaneous manner.
Substantially simultaneous administration is accomplished, for example, by administering to the subject a single formulation or composition, (e.g., a tablet or capsule having a fixed ratio of each therapeutic agent or in multiple, single formulations (e.g., capsules) for each of the therapeutic agents. Sequential or substantially simultaneous administration of each therapeutic agent is effected by any appropriate route including, but not limited to, oral routes, intravenous routes, intramuscular routes, and direct absorption through mucous membrane tissues. The therapeutic agents are administered by the same route or by different routes.

Alternatively, for example, all therapeutic agents are administered orally or all therapeutic agents are administered by intravenous injection.
Combination therapy also embraces the administration of the therapeutic agents as described above in further combination with other biologically active ingredients and non-drug therapies. Where the combination therapy further comprises a non-drug treatment, the non-drug treatment is conducted at any suitable time so long as a beneficial effect from the co-action of the combination of the therapeutic agents and non-drug treatment is achieved. For example, in appropriate cases, the beneficial effect is still achieved when the non-drug treatment is temporally removed from the administration of the therapeutic agents, perhaps by days or even weeks.
The components of the combination are administered to a patient simultaneously or sequentially. It will be appreciated that the components are present in the same pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and, therefore, are administered simultaneously. Alternatively, the active ingredients are present in separate pharmaceutical carriers, such as conventional oral dosage forms, that are administered either simultaneously or sequentially.

Step 1: A 3000 mL 3-neck RBF fitted with a mechanical stirrer, JKem thermocoupler, and reflux condenser was charged with tert-butyl (7S,8aS)-6-oxo-7-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-2(1H)-carboxylate (129.0 g of 95 wt. % purity and 90% diastereomeric excess, 439 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) and 8-bromo-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (86.8 g, 439 mmol, 1.0 equiv.). The solids were dissolved in a 1:1 vol/vol mixture of triethylamine/THF (1200 mL). Copper Iodide (2.78 g, 8.77 mmol, 0.02 equiv.) was added followed by Bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II)chloride (6.16 g, 8.77 mmol, 0.02 equiv.). The mixture heated (heating mantle) to 70° C. and mechanically stirred for 5 min. at which time heating mantle was turned off. As the reaction cooled, a brownish precipitate emerged. As cooling continued the precipitate grew larger, eventually turning the mixture to a solid tan sludge. The sludge was diluted with water (1 L) and stirred gently with a stirring rod. The liquid was decanted off and filtered. This process was repeated with an additional 500 mL of water. The remaining solid was set aside. The filtered liquid was concentrated to remove volatiles (triethylamine and THF). The resultant aqueous brown sludge was diluted with brine and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The reaction flask containing precipitates was partitioned between EtOAc and brine. The layers were separated, and all EtOAc extracts were combined, washed sequentially with sat. aq. NH4Cl (2×,) and brine. The organics were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. The concentrates were treated with MTBE/MeOH (10:1, 750 mL) and heated gently with a heat gun to promote solvation of impurities. The dark brown liquid was filtered through a coarse filter and all remaining solids were washed with MTBE (2×). The remaining solids were vacuum oven dried overnight which gave tert-butyl (7S,8aS)-7-(3-([1,2,4]triazolo [1,5-a]pyridin-8-yl)prop-2-yn-1-yl)-6-oxohexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-2(1H)-carboxylate as a light brown solid.

Hydrogen gas was bubbled through the reaction mixture via balloon and the balloon was refilled as needed. At 26 h, additional 10% Pd/C (50 wt. % H2O, 25 g) was added and hydrogen bubbling process was continued. Additional 10% Pd/C (50 wt. % H2O) was added at 74 h (25 g) and 126 h (10 g) until the reaction was determined complete by LCMS @168 h. Nitrogen gas was bubbled through the reaction mixture for 20 min and the mixture was diluted with DCM (500 mL). The mixture was filtered through celite and the filter cake was rinsed with DCM. The filtrates were concentrated in vacuo to give tert-butyl (7S,8aS)-7-(3-([1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-8-yl)propyl)-6-oxohexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-2(1H)-carboxylate as a brown viscous oil. LCMS: m/z=400.2 [M+H]+. The concentrated oil was dissolved in MeOH/dioxane (1:1, 500 mL) and transferred to a 2000 mL RBF. The flask was placed in an ice bath and 4N HCl/dioxane (300 mL) was added via addition funnel over 2 h. After the addition was complete the cooling bath was removed and the mixture was stirred for a total of 22 h. The mixture, which contained an off-white precipitate, was filtered. The filtrate washed with EtOAc and all filtrates were set aside. The solid was placed in dish and oven-dried under vacuum to give 115.4 g of an off-white powder. The dried solid was dissolved/suspended in 600 mL of water and 600 mL of DCM. 3N aqueous NaOH (400 mL) was added (pH>11) followed by the addition of brine (200 mL). The layers were separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with additional DCM (5×500 mL). The combined organics were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give ((7S,8aS)-7-(3-([1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-8-yl)propyl)hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-6(2H)-one as a light orange oil.
