Description

The invention relates to novel N-substituted azabicycloheptane derivatives, the preparation and use thereof for preparing pharmaceutical agents.

It is known that 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic nitrogen derivatives with basic substituents have neuroleptic effects (EP 196 132, EP 70 053, EP 110 435).

It appears that the high affinities for serotonin receptors, in addition to the dopamine affinities, are particularly important for this.

The compounds of the formula I according to the invention can be prepared by reacting a compound of the formula II ##STR4## where n, R.sup.3, X, Y, Z and A have the abovementioned meanings, and Nu is a nucleofugic leaving group, with a 3-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane derivative of the formula III ##STR5## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 have the abovementioned meanings, and converting the resulting compound where appropriate into the addition salt with a physiologically tolerated acid.

Suitable and preferred for the nucleofugic leaving group Nu are halogens, especially bromine or chlorine.

The reaction is expediently carried out in the presence of an inert base such as triethylamine or potassium carbonate to bind the acid and in an inert solvent such as a cyclic saturated ether, especially tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, or an aromatic hydrocarbon such as toluene or xylene.

The reaction is usually carried out at from 20.degree. to 150.degree. C. in particular from 80.degree. to 140.degree. C., and is generally complete after from 1 to 10 hours.

The compounds of the formula I according to the invention can be purified either by recrystallization from conventional organic solvents, preferably from a lower alcohol such as ethanol, or by column chromatography.

Racemates can be resolved into the enantiomers in a straightforward way by classical methods using optically active carboxylic acids, eg. tartaric acid derivatives, in an inert solvent, eg. lower alcohols.

The free 3-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane derivatives of the formula I can be converted in a conventional way into the addition salt with a pharmacologically acceptable acid, preferably by adding one equivalent of the appropriate acid to a solution thereof. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acids are hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, sulfamic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid or citric acid.

The compounds according to the invention have valuable pharmacological properties. They can be used as neuroleptics (especially atypical), antidepressants, sedatives, hypnotics, CNS protectives or muscle relaxants. It is possible for more than one of the said effects to occur together in a compound according to the invention. The pharmacological effects are demonstrated both in vivo and in vitro, and the substances can be characterized in particular by the affinity, which is in some cases very high and selective, for receptor subtypes such as dopamine D.sub.1, D.sub.2, D.sub.3 and D.sub.4 receptors, serotonin 1A, 1D and 2 receptors, alpha 1 and 2 receptors, histamine 1 and muscarine receptors.

The following methods are used for the in vivo characterization:

a) Influence on orientation motility

Mice in a new environment show exploratory behavior which is manifested by increased motor activity. This motor activity is measured in a cage with a photoelectric detector for 30 min after the animals (female NMRI mice) have been placed in the cage.

ED50: dose which reduces the motor activity by 50% from that of placebo-treated controls. b) Apomorphine antagonism

Female NMRI mice receive 1.21 mg/kg apomorphine s.c. At this dose, apomorphine leads to motor activation which is manifested by continuous climbing when the animals are placed in wire mesh cages. The climbing is scored in the following way (every 2 min for 30 min):

0: animal has four paws on the floor 1: animal has two paws on the wire 2: animal has four paws on the wire (is climbing).

The climbing behavior is inhibited by pretreatment with antipsychotics.

ED50: dose which inhibits the climbing activity of the animals by 50% from that of placebo-treated controls. c) Methamphetamine antagonism

Female NMRI mice receive 1 mg/kg methamphetamine orally and, after 30 min, are placed in a cage with a photoelectric detector to measure the motor activity (2 animals/cage, 4 cages/dose). The test substances are given orally 30 min before the methamphetamine. The increase in activity caused by methamphetamine for the period from 15 to 60 min after the animals are placed in the cage is calculated as the difference between methamphetamine controls and placebo controls and set equal to 100%. The ED100 is the dose of test substance which completely abolishes the increase in activity.

d) L-5-HTP antagonism

Female Sprague-Dawley rats receive L-5-HTP in a dose of 316 mg/kg i.p. The animals then develop an excitation state, and the following symptoms of this

for paw treading and tremor are scored (0=absent, 1 =moderate, 2=marked) every 10 min from 20 to 60 min after L-5-HTP administration. The average score after L-5-HTP administration is 17. The test substances are administered orally 60m in before L-5-HTP. The ED50 is the dosage which reduces the average score by 50% from that of the controls.

The stated methods are suitable for characterizing substances as antipsychotics; in particular, the inhibition of the methamphetamine-induced motor stimulation is regarded as predictive of an antipsychotic effect. Inhibition of the L-5-HTP excitation indicates a serotonin-antagonistic effect, which is characteristic of atypical neuroleptics.

The novel compounds show a good effect in these tests.

The present invention accordingly also relates to a therapeutic composition which has a content of a compound of the formula I or the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salt thereof as active ingredient in addition to conventional excipients and diluents, as well as to the use of the novel compounds for controlling diseases.

The compounds according to the invention can be administered orally or parenterally, intravenously or intramuscularly, in a conventional way.

The dosage depends on the age, condition and weight of the patient and on the mode of administration. The daily dose of active ingredient is normally about 1-100 mg/kg of body weight on oral administration and 0.1-10 mg/kg of body weight on parenteral administration.

The novel compounds can be used in conventional solid or liquid pharmaceutical forms, eg. as uncoated or (film-)coated tablets, capsules, powders, granules, suppositories, solutions, ointments, creams or sprays. These are produced in a conventional way. The active ingredients can for this purpose be processed with conventional pharmaceutical aids such as tablet binders, fillers, preservatives, tablet disintegrants, flow regulators, plasticizers, wetting agents, dispersants, emulsifiers, solvents, retarding agents, antioxidants and/or propellent gases (cf. H. Sucker et al.: Pharmazeutische Technologie, Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart, 1978). The forms obtained in this way normally contain from 1 to 99% by weight of the active ingredient.

The substances of the formula II which are required as starting materials for synthesizing the novel compounds are known or can be synthesized from appropriate starting materials by preparation methods described in the literature.

The substances of the formula III can be prepared by subjecting an amine of the formula ##STR6## where R.sup.` and R.sup.2 have the abovementioned meanings, and R.sup.4 is hydrogen, acetyl, benzyl or trifluoroacetyl, to a photochemical 2+2 cycloaddition and, where appropriate, eliminating an acyl or benzyl group.

The photoreaction takes place satisfactorily in an inert solvent, preferably acetone, at from 20.degree. to 80.degree. C. A particularly suitable light source is a high-pressure mercury lamp. It is advantageous where appropriate to carry out the photocycloaddition in a silica apparatus under a nitrogen atmosphere with or without the addition of about 1 mol of hydrochloric acid per mol of amine.

In most cases, the photocycloaddition takes place highly diastereoselectively to give the bicyclic compounds III with R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 in the exo configuration: ##STR7##

The two enantiomers can be isolated pure by racemate resolution, eg. using optically active tartaric acid derivatives.

An acyl group is eliminated by conventional methods, as is a benzyl group.

The amines of the formula IV are disclosed in the literature or can be prepared by either reacting an aldehyde R.sup.1 -CHO with vinylmagnesium chloride to give the allyl alcohol V ##STR8## subsequently rearranging with hydrogen chloride to give the allyl chloride VI ##STR9## and finally substituting with the appropriate allylamine VII ##STR10## or subjecting a cinnamaldehyde VIII ##STR11## directly to reductive amination with the allylamine VII where R.sup.4 is hydrogen.

The following examples illustrate the invention:

1550 ml (2.0M [sic]) of a 1.29M solution of vinylmagnesiumchloride in tetrahydrofuran were introduced under nitrogen to a 4 1 stirred flask. Subsequently, while stirring under nitrogen, a solution of 222.0 g (1.764M [sic]) of 4-fluorobenzaldehyde in tetrahydrofuran was added at 30.degree.-35.degree. C. in the course of 30 min while cooling the mixture in ice. The mixture was then stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for 2.5 h. Subsequently, while stirring and cooling with ice, 180 ml of water were added, the mixture was filtered with suction, and the residue on the filter was washed three times with 150 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The filtrates were combined, dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated to yield 265.7 g (99%) of product as a yellowish brown oil.

3.6 g (26 mM [sic]) of 6-(2-chloroethyl)-7-methyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one and 5.6 g (40 mM [sic]) of finely powdered calcium carbonate and 0.5 g of potassium iodide were added to 2.5 g (13.1 mM [sic]) of exo-6-p-fluorophenyl-3-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane in 40 ml of xylene, and the mixture was refluxed while stirring vigorously for 11 h.

After cooling, the mixture was concentrated in a rotary evaporator, and the residue was partitioned between methylene chloride and water.

The aqueous phase was extracted twice with methylene chloride, and then the organic phase was dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product (7.7 g) was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, methylene chloride/methanol 96/4).

The free base (3.5 g) was taken up in 150 ml of ether, the mixture was filtered to remove insolubles, and excess ethereal hydrochloric acid was added to the solution. The solid was then filtered off with suction under nitrogen in the cold, washed with a large amount of ether and dried on the funnel under nitrogen. 3.5 g (60%) of product .times.2 HCl , melting point 222.degree.-224.degree. C., were isolated. The maleate melts at 133.degree.-135.degree. C.

The aqueous phase was extracted twice with methylene chloride and then the organic phase was dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product (7.8 g) was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, methylene chloride/methanol 94/4). The free base (3.4 g) was taken up in 200 ml of ether, the mixture was filtered to remove insolubles, and excess ethereal hydrochloric acid was added to this solution. The solid was then filtered off with suction under nitrogen in the cold, washed with a large quantity of ether and dried on the funnel under nitrogen. 3.8 g (54%) of product .times.2 HCl, melting point >250.degree. C., were isolated.
