TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to N-(3-pyrrolidinyl)benzamide derivatives, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which have selective and high affinity for dopamine D.sub.3 (to be referred to as D.sub.3 hereinafter) receptor and/or dopamine D.sub.4 (to be referred to as D.sub.4 hereinafter) receptor and weak action upon dopamine D.sub.2 (to be referred to as D.sub.2 hereinafter) receptor. It also relates to D.sub.3 receptor and/or D.sub.4 receptor antagonists which contain N-(3-pyrrolidinyl)benzamide derivatives or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as their active ingredient.
BACKGROUND ART
Dopamine, i.e., 4-(2-aminoethyl)-1,2-benzenediol, takes markedly varied and important roles in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. In the conventional studies, dopamine receptor has been classified into D.sub.1 like receptor and D.sub.2 like receptor based on a pharmacological classification. The D.sub.2 like receptor is deeply related to mental functions and locomotive functions, and a number of drugs which act upon this type of receptor are used mainly as psychotropic agents for use in the treatment of schizophrenia, depression and other mental diseases/ Typical examples of such drugs include haloperidol, sulpiride and the like. However, though these drugs show excellent effects upon symptoms which are called positive symptoms of schizophrenia (e.g., psychomotor excitement, hallucination, delusion and the like), their effects are not sufficient for the patients of chronic schizomycosis mainly having negative symptoms such as lack of spontaneity, disappearance of interest, flattening of affect and the like. In addition, these drugs are accompanied by adverse side effects, though the degree varies. Typical examples of such side effects are so-called extrapyramidal symptoms in which diskinetic disorders are mainly generated, such as dystonia, Parkinson disease-like symptoms and akathisia which occur in a relatively acute manner with a relatively high frequency, and intractable tardive dyskinesia which is generated after prolonged administration.
In addition to the above, endocrine symptoms such as hyperprolactinemia, amenorrhea and the like are also developed.
It is considered in general that the psychotropic action, which is the main action of these drugs, is based on an action mediated by the D.sub.2 like receptor which is present in the frontal cortex and limbic system, the extrapyramidal symptoms as side effects are based on an action mediated by the D.sub.2 like receptor which is present in the striate body and the endocrine symptom-based side effects are based on an action mediated by the D.sub.2 like receptor which is present in the anterior lobe of hypophysis (Baldessarini, R. L., "Drugs and the treatment of psychiatric disorders" in Gilman, A. G. et al., eds. "The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics 8th Ed.", Pergamon Press, New York, 1990, pp. 383-435).
With the development of genetic engineering in recent years, new dopamine receptor subtypes have been discovered, and the dopamine receptor has been re-classified into five subtypes of D.sub.1 to D.sub.5 receptors having different constituting amino acid sequences. Thus, it was revealed that the D.sub.2 like receptor based on the conventional pharmacological classification is a subfamily which includes the D.sub.2 receptor and newly discovered D.sub.3 receptor and D.sub.4 receptor, and the D.sub.1 like receptor is a subfamily which includes the D.sub.1 receptor and D.sub.5 receptor �David R. et al., Trends in Pharmacological Science 13, 61-69 (1992)!.
It is also known that the D.sub.2, D.sub.3 and D.sub.4 receptors belonging to the D.sub.2 like receptor subfamily have characteristic differences in terms of their intracerebral distribution �Bouthenet M-L. et al., Brain Res., 564, 203-219 (1991), Gehlert D. et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol., 211, 189-194 (1992) and Van Tol H. H. M. et al., Nature, 350, 610 (1991)!. The D.sub.2 receptor is distributed particularly frequently in the striate body which relates to the onset of extrapyramidal symptoms as a main side effect and also relatively frequently in the nucleus accumbens and olfactory tuberculum or in the pituitary body which relates to the onset of endocrine symptoms, but its distribution in the brain cortex which relates to mental functions is relatively rare. On the other hand, the D.sub.3 receptor is distributed most frequently in the limbic system and also distributed in the nucleus accumbens, olfactory tuberculum, hippocampus, medial papillary nucleus, tegmentum ventral mesencephali which are considered to be related to cognition function and emotion, and the 10th lobe of the cerebellum, but is rare in the striate body and not detectable in the pituitary body. The D.sub.4 receptor is frequently distributed in the frontal cortex which are considered to have most deeper relation with schizophrenia through the regulation of higher mental function in human and amygdala, but its distribution in the striate body is very small. As a case in which schizophrenia is related to the D.sub.4 receptor �Taubes G., Science, 265, 1034 (1994)!, it has been reported that concentration of the D.sub.4 receptor in schizophrenia patients was about 6 times higher than the case of healthy persons �Seeman P. et al., Nature, 365, 441 (1993)!.
On the other hand, actions of existing antipsychotic agent upon D.sub.3 and/or D.sub.4 receptor have also been revealed, and it is considered that pharmacological characteristics of each drug are based on the difference in its efficacy and selectivity for respective D.sub.2, D.sub.3 and D.sub.4 subtype receptors �Soholoff P., Nature, 347, 146-151 (1990) and Lahti R. A., Eur. J. of Pharmacology, 236, 483 (1993)!. That is, a drug having highly frequent onset of side effects (e.g., extrapyramidal symptoms), such as haloperidol, has high affinity for D.sub.2 receptor in comparison with D.sub.3 receptor and/or D.sub.4 receptor. Also, in the case of drug which is classified as an atypical antipsychotic agent (e.g., sulpiride), has relatively small side effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms and the like, and shows certain degree of effects on negative symptoms, its affinity for D.sub.3 and/or D.sub.4 receptor is similar to its affinity for D.sub.2 receptor. In the case of clozapine which is classified as an atypical antipsychotic agent, has small extrapyramidal symptoms and is effective for patients mainly having negative symptoms which are resistant against conventional antipsychotic agent, its affinity for D.sub.4 receptor is higher than its affinity for D.sub.2 receptor (its affinity for D.sub.4 receptor is several times higher than that for D.sub.2 receptor). As an example which suggests that the anti-schizophrenic action of clozapine is based on its action upon D.sub. receptor, it has been reported that effective blood concentration in a clinical dose of clozapine coincided well with a value derived from the D.sub.4 receptor affinity rather than from the D.sub.2 receptor affinity �Arnt J., in "Dopamine Receptors vol. 8" Liss, New York, 1987, pp. 199-231, Kane J. et al., Arch. Gen. Psychiat., 45, 789 (1988), Casey D. E., Psychopharmacology, 99, 547 (1989), Seeman P., Neuropsychopharmacology, 7, 261 (1992)!.
These findings strongly suggest that psychotropic actions including improvement of negative symptoms are developed via the D.sub.3 and/or D.sub.4 receptor, and side effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms and the like are generated via the D.sub.2 receptor �Taubes G., Science, 265, 1034 (1994)!.
As is evident from the aforementioned findings, it is an important subject from the clinical viewpoint to create a drug which is free from side effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms, endocrine symptoms and the like and has excellent psychotropic actions including actions to improve negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
On the other hand, compounds disclosed in an unexamined published Japanese patent application (kokai) No. 53-139728, an unexamined published Japanese patent application (kokai) No. 53-92763, an unexamined published Japanese patent application (kokai) No. 54-138553, an unexamined published Japanese patent application (kokai) No. 57-2266 and Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 24, 1224 (1981) are known as N-(3-pyrrolidinyl)benzamide derivatives, but the affinity for both D.sub.3 receptor and D.sub.4 receptor is not suggested or disclosed.
In addition, though compounds having affinity for the D.sub.3 receptor are disclosed in EP-A-0539281 and WO 94/03426 pamphlet, not only their structures are clearly different from that of the compounds of the present invention but also their affinity for the D.sub.4 receptor and D.sub.2 receptor is not disclosed illustratively.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide compounds which have more potent and selective affinity for the D.sub.3 receptor and/or D.sub.4 receptor in comparison with the affinity of clozapine, thereby showing excellent central functions and/or peripheral functions including actions to improve negative symptoms of schizophrenia, and is free from or has remarkably reduced side effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms, endocrine symptoms based on its action upon the D.sub.2 receptor.
Another object of the present invention is to provide D.sub.3 receptor and/or D.sub.4 receptor antagonists which use compounds represented by a general formula (I) that will be described later, as their active ingredient.
The inventors of the present invention have created various compounds and conducted screening works and, as a result, found that novel compounds whose chemical structures are different from those of prior art compounds in terms of a point that the N-(3-pyrrolidinyl)benzamides have an pyrrolidin-3-yl group of which 1-position is substituted with a bicyclic or tricyclic bridged hydrocarbon ring group.
Thereafter, the present invention was accomplished by revealing that the N-(3-pyrrolidinyl)benzamide derivatives of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof have high selectivity and potent affinity for the D.sub.3 receptor and/or D.sub.4 receptor and extremely weak action upon the D.sub.2 receptor and by predicting that the invention compound can exert psychotropic actions against diseases such as schizophrenia, emotional disorder, anxiety, sleep disorder, organic mental disorder, drug abuse, personality disorder and the like, and central and/or peripheral actions against diseases which are accompanied by difficulty of moving (e.g., Parkinson disease), as well as sexual disorder, pain, vomiting, hypertension, urination, diarrhea, digestive organ indefinite complaint and the like, while side effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms, endocrine symptoms and the like are not generated or remarkably reduced, so that the clinical object can be achieved. In consequence, it is possible to apply the compounds of the present invention as therapeutic drugs to patients who have difficulty in using drugs because of a possible danger of causing side effects, for example senile and child patients.

In this method, the N-(3-pyrrolidinyl)benzamide derivative (I) is produced by oxidizing, reducing, adding, substituting or hydrolyzing the substituent group A or B of an N-substituted benzamide derivative represented by a general formula (XII) or (XIII). ##STR9## (In the above formulae, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and X are as defined in the foregoing, and A or B independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an amino group, an alkylamino group, an acylamino group, a nitro group, a diazonium group, a hydroxyl group, a tosyloxy group, a trifluoromethanesulfonyl group, a mesyl group, an acyl group, a cyano group, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, a formyl group, a carboxyl group, a thiol group, an alkylthio group, an alkylsulfonyl group, an alkylsulfoxyl group or a halogenosulfonyl group.)
In this connection, some novel substances are included in the starting compounds to be used in the aforementioned first to fourth production methods, and such substances can be produced by using corresponding known compounds as respective starting materials and by employing techniques such as amidation, reductive N-alkylation, N-alkylation, intramolecular reductive N-alkylation, intramolecular N-alkylation, oxidation, reduction, addition, substitution, hydrolysis and the like described in the Methods 1-4. Practical production of these substances may be effected in accordance with the Reference Examples which will be described later, or in accordance with the respective procedures described in the Reference Examples or by modifying them.
For example, the 3-aminopyrrolidine derivative represented by the general formula (IV) can be produced by allowing 3-protected aminopyrrolidine to react with a carbonyl, halogen or sulfonate compound represented by R.sup.2 .dbd.O or R.sup.2 .dbd.Z in the same manner as the case of the Method 2. Also, the starting compound (II) can be produced by applying techniques of the Methods 2-4, such as hydrolysis and nitration of corresponding ester, amination by reduction of nitro group, etherification or thioetherification of a halide or a compound having hydroxyl group or mercapto group, reductive N-alkylation or N-alkylation of a compound having amino group, oxidation of a thioether compound, conversion from amino group into halide and conversion from amino group into nitrile.
The compounds (I) of the present invention produced by these methods are isolated and purified in its free form or as a salt thereof. Isolation and purification can be effected by using usual chemical methods such as extraction, evaporation, crystallization, filtration, recrystallization, various types of chromatography and the like.
The thus obtained free compound or a salt thereof can be made into another salt by subjecting it to commonly used salt forming reaction.
In this connection, the compounds of the present invention contain optical isomers, because it has at least 1 asymmetric carbon atom.
These optical isomers can be separated in the usual way, for example, by carrying out a fractional crystallization in which each isomer is recrystallized with an appropriate salt or by a column chromatography. Alternatively, a desired optical isomer can be obtained from an appropriate optically active starting material.
The following illustrates compounds other than those which will be described in Examples, that can be synthesized in accordance with the aforementioned production methods, particularly the methods described in the Examples, or modified methods thereof known to those skilled in the art.

Industrial Applicability
Since the compound of the present invention has high affinity for the D.sub.3 and/or D.sub.4 receptor and low affinity for the D.sub.2 receptor, it is useful as psychotropic having reduced or no side effects in relation to extrapyramidal symptoms and endocrine systems, particularly as drugs for the treatment of schizophrenia, feeling disorders, anxiety, psychomotor function disorders due to drug abuse, psychiatric disorders in child and puberty stages and problematic behavior of the aged, and as an analgesic or as drugs for use in the central dopamine nervous system-related diseases, such as an anti-Parkinson drug, an antiemetic and a feeding-controlling drug. It is also useful as a hypotensive drug or a diuretic, through a function mediated by a peripheral D.sub.3 receptor (Sokoloff P., Nature, 347, 146-151 (1990)).
Affinity of the compound of the present invention for D.sub.2 receptor, D.sub.3 receptor and D.sub.4 receptor was confirmed by the following test methods.
1) Affinity for D.sub.2 receptor, D.sub.3 receptor and D.sub.4 receptor
Each of the D.sub.2 receptor, D.sub.3 receptor and D.sub.4 receptor was subjected to gene cloning and the thus cloned gene was introduced into host cells, thereby preparing cell strains capable of expressing respective receptors (Sokoloff P. et al., Nature, 347, 146 (1990), Van Tol H. H. M. et al., Nature, 350, 610 (1994)). Using membrane samples of these cells, affinity of compounds for D.sub.2 receptor, D.sub.3 receptor and D.sub.4 receptor was examined by a receptor binding test. The receptor binding test was carried out in the following manner. A D.sub.2 receptor, D.sub.3 receptor or D.sub.4 receptor membrane sample and �.sup.125 I! iodosulpride or �.sup.3 H! YM-09151-2 (trade name, manufactured by Daiichi Pure Chemicals) were incubated at 25.degree. C. for 1 hour in the presence of each compound to be tested. The reaction solution was filtered through a glass filter to measure the amount of radioisotope on the filter. Concentration of each test compound which inhibits 50% of the receptor specific binding was used as IC.sub.50 value, and the value was converted into Ki value based on the formula of Cheng and Prusoff relationship �Cheng Y. et al., Biochem. Pharmacol., 22, 3099-3108, (1973)!. The results are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2______________________________________ Binding test (Ki value, nM) RatioCompound D.sub.2 D.sub.3 D.sub.4 D.sub.2 /D.sub.3 D.sub.2 /D.sub.4______________________________________Clozapine 260 230 51 1.1 5.1(Controlcompound)Example 7 72 1.5 1.1 48 65Example 19 350 4.0 2.6 88 135Example 30 34 3.5 1.8 9.7 19______________________________________
In this receptor binding test, the compounds of the present invention showed high affinity for D.sub.3 receptor and/or D.sub.4 receptor and excellent D.sub.3 receptor and/or D.sub.4 receptor selectivity against D.sub.2 receptor in comparison with a known antipsychotic agent (clozapine).
On the other hand, other typically known dopamine receptor blocking agent showed affinity for D.sub.2, D.sub.3 and D.sub.4 receptors at various ratios, but none of them showed selective affinity for D.sub.3 and/or D.sub.4 receptor.
2) Antagonism test on apomorphine-induced climbing behavior
In order to evaluate antipsychotic action of the compound of the present invention, antagonism of the compound of the present invention and clozapine against apomorphine-induced climbing behavior was measured. Each test compound was administered to ICR mice (body weight, around 35 g; Japan SLC) by subcutaneous injection and, after 15 minutes, apomorphine (2 mg/kg) was subcutaneously injected. After 10 minutes of the final injection, climbing behavior of the mice was measured during 30 minutes to calculate ED.sub.50 value.
As a result, the compound of the present invention showed potent antagonism against apomorphine-induced climbing behavior (Table 3).
TABLE 3______________________________________Compound ED.sub.50 (mg/kg, SC adininistration)______________________________________Clozapine 6.8(Control compound)Example 30 1.8______________________________________
In consequence, usefulness of the compound of the present invention as an antipsychotic agent can be expected.
When the compound represented by the general formula (I), a non-toxic salt thereof, a stereoisomer thereof or a hydrate or solvate thereof is used for the above purpose, it may be administered orally or parenterally.
The dose may vary depending on the age, body weight, symptoms, therapeutic effect, administration method, treating period and the like, but, in general, it may be administered orally within a range of from 0.1 mg to 100 mg, preferably from 1 mg to 50 mg, per day per adult, by dividing the daily dose into one to several doses per day, or parenterally within a range of from 0.1 mg to 100 mg per day per adult, by dividing the daily dose into one to several doses per day or by continuously administering the daily dose by intravenous injection for 1 to 24 hours a day. Since the dose varies depending on various conditions, a dose smaller than the above range may be enough in some cases.
Tablets, powders, granules and the like may be used as the solid composition for oral administration use of the present invention. In such a solid composition, one or more active substances are mixed with at least one inert diluent such as lactose, mannitol, glucose, hydroxypropylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, magnesium metasilicate aluminate or the like. In accordance with the conventionally used method, the composition may contain additive agents other than the inert diluent, such as lubricating agents (e.g., magnesium stearate), disintegrating agents (e.g., calcium cellulose glycolate), stabilizing agents (e.g., galactose), and solubilizing aids (e.g., glutamic acid, aspartic acid). As occasion demands, tablets or pills may be coated with gastric or enteric coating films such as of sucrose, gelatin, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate and the like.
Examples of liquid composition for use in oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, elixirs and the like which contain a generally used inert diluent such as purified water, ethanol or the like. In addition to the inert diluent, this composition may also contain auxiliary agents such as a moistening agent and a suspending agent, as well as a sweetening agent, a flavoring agent, an aroma, an antiseptic agent and the like.
Injections for use in parenteral administration include aseptic aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions and emulsions. Examples of the aqueous solutions and suspensions include distilled water for injection use and physiological saline. Examples of the non-aqueous solutions and suspensions include propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, plant oil such as olive oil, alcohol such as ethanol, Polysorbate 80 (trade name, a nonionic surface active agent, polyoxyethylene sorbitan alkyl ester) and the like. Such a composition may also contain auxiliary agents such as an antiseptic agent, a moistening agent, an emulsifying agent, a dispersing agent, a stabilizing agent (e.g., lactose), a solubilizing aid (e.g., glutamic acid or aspartic acid) and the like. Sterilization of these compositions may be effected by passing them through a bacterial filter, formulating a germicide or light irradiation. Alternatively, a corresponding aseptic solid composition may be produced which is used by dissolving in aseptic water or an aseptic solvent for injection use prior to its use.

Formulation Examples
The following illustrates Formulation Examples of the compound of the present invention as pharmaceutical drugs.
______________________________________1) (mg)______________________________________Invention compound 10.0Lactose 109.6Microcrystalline cellulose 27.4Light anhydrous silicic acid 1.5Magnesium stearate 1.5______________________________________
Using a DC type mixer, 30 g of the compound of the present invention was mixed with 328.8 g of lactose and 82.2 g of microcrystalline cellulose. The mixture was applied to a roller compactor to effect compression molding, thereby obtaining a flaky compressed material. The flaky compressed material was pulverized using a hammer mill, and the pulverized material was screened through a 20 mesh screen. To the thus screened material were added 4.5 g of light anhydrous silicic acid and 4.5 g of magnesium stearate, followed by mixing in the DC type mixer. The resulting mixture was applied to a tablet making machine using a die-punch of 7.5 mm in diameter, thereby obtaining 3,000 tablets each having a weight of 150 mg.

A 30 g portion of the compound of the present invention was mixed with 275.1 g of lactose and 117.9 g of corn starch in a fluidized bed granulating machine. Separately, 22.5 g of polyvinyl pyrrolidine was dissolved in 127.5 g of water to prepare a binding solution. Using the fluidized bed granulating machine, the binding solution was sprayed to the above mixture to give granules. A 4.5 g portion of magnesium stearate was added to the thus obtained granules, followed by mixing in the DC type mixer. The resulting mixture was applied to a tablet making machine using a die-punch of 7.5 mm in diameter, thereby obtaining 3,000 tablets each having a weight of 150 mg.
Separately, a coating liquid was prepared by suspending 2.3 g of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose 2910, 0.4 g of polyethylene glycol 6000, 1.1 g of titanium dioxide and 0.7 g of purified talc in 24.2 g of water. Using a high coater, 3,000 tablets obtained above were coated with the coating liquid to give film coated tablets each having a weight of 154.5 mg.
