This application is a national phase application based on PCT/JP2010/063240, filed Aug. 5, 2010, which claims the priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-183876, filed Aug. 6, 2009, the content of both of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to pharmaceuticals, particularly to nitrogenous-ring acylguanidine derivatives with 5-HT5A receptor modulating action, useful as an agent for treating or preventing dementia, schizophrenia, and the like.
In recent years, it has been suggested that the 5-HT5A receptor which is one of the subtypes of serotonin receptors plays an important role in dementia and schizophrenia. For example, it has been reported that new exploratory behaviors are increased in the 5-HT5A receptor knock-out mice, and hyperactivity by LSD is inhibited in the 5-HT5A receptor knock-out mice (Neuron 22, 581-591, 1999). From the results of gene expression analysis, it has been reported that the 5-HT5A receptor is highly expressed in human and rodent brain, and in brain, it is highly expressed in hippocampal CA1 and CA3 pyramidal cells which are related to memory, and frontal lobe (cerebral cortex) which is deeply related to schizophrenia (Molecular Brain Research 56, 1-8, 1998). Furthermore, it has been reported that gene polymorphism of the 5-HT5A receptor relates to schizophrenia (Neuroreport 11, 2017-2020, 2000; Mol. Psychiatr. 6, 217-219, 2001; and J. Psychiatr. Res. 38, 371-376, 2004). Accordingly, it is suggested that regulation of 5-HT5A receptor action leads to the improvement of dementia and schizophrenia and compounds with such function are needed.
Hitherto, several kinds of compounds having affinity for a 5-HT5A receptor have been reported.
For example, it is described that bicyclic acylguanidine derivatives represented by the following general formula bind to the 5-HT5A receptor, and are thus used for treating dementia, schizophrenia, and the like (Patent Document 1).
(A represents phenyl or the like, R1, R2, and R3 each represent H, lower alkyl, halogen, or the like, R7 and R8 each represent H, lower alkyl, or the like, X represents O, S, or CR9aR9b, R9a and R9b each represent H or the like, the dotted line represents a bond or absence, m represents 0, 1, or 2, L1 and L2 each represent a bond or the like, and R4, R5, and R6 each represent H or the like. For details, refer to the publication.)
In the publication, there is no disclosure on those in which the bicyclic ring group has a N atom containing ring.
In addition, it is reported that compounds having a tricyclic acylguanidine structure (Patent Document 2) and compounds having a structure in which the ring is directly bonded to the guanidine (Patent Document 3) each bind to the 5-HT5A receptor, and are used for treating dementia, schizophrenia, and the like.
Furthermore, it is described that quinoline derivatives represented by the following general formula bind to a 5-HT5A receptor, and are used for treating dementia, schizophrenia, and the like (Patent Document 4).
(R1 represents —C(O)NRcCH2—Ar1 or the like, R2 represents —Ar2, —CHRd—Ar2, —CH2CH2O—Ar2, or the like, R3 represents phenyl or pyridinyl, which may be substituted, Ar1 and Ar2 each represent aryl or heteroaryl, which may be substituted, and Rc and Rd each represent a hydrogen atom or C1-7-alkyl. For details on these, refer to the publication.)
In the publication, there is no disclosure on those having acylguanidine as R1.
Hitherto, there is no report for a 5-HT5A receptor modulator which has a structure in which the guanidine is bonded to a bicyclic nitrogen-containing ring via a carbonyl group.
In addition, naphthalene ring derivatives substituted with an acylguanidino group have been reported in Patent Document 5. This document relates to a naphthylacylguanidine derivative, but does not disclose the quinoline derivative of the present invention. Further, the application of the compound of this document is an antiviral agent.

(Production Process 1)
(Lv1 Represents —OH or a Leaving Group.)
Compound of formula (I) can be produced by the reaction of a carboxylic acid or a reactive derivative thereof (1) with guanidine (2) or a salt thereof.
The reaction can be carried out by using the carboxylic acid or a reactive derivative thereof (1) and guanidine (2) in equivalent amounts, or guanidine in an excess amount. It can be carried out under cooling to under heating, and preferably at −20° C. to 80° C., in a solvent inert to the reaction, such as aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and the like; halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, chloroform, and the like; ethers such as diethylether, tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane, dimethoxyethane (DME), and the like; N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, water, and the like, or a mixtures thereof.
When a carboxylic acid wherein Lv1 is —OH is used as the carboxilic acid or a reactive derivative thereof (1), it is desirable to carry out the reaction in the presence of a condensing agent. In this case, examples of the condensing agent include N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide (WSC), 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU), diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA), and phosphorous oxychloride. In some cases, it is preferable to further use additive agents (e.g., N-hydroxysuccinimide (HONSu), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and the like). The condensing agent is usually used in an equivalent amount or excess to the carboxylic acid.
When a reactive derivative of the carboxylic acid wherein Lv1 is a leaving group is used as the carboxylic acid or a reactive derivative thereof (1), acid halides (acid chloride, acid bromide, or the like), acid anhydrides (mixed acid anhydrides obtained by the reaction of the carboxylic acid with phenyl chlorocarbonate, p-toluenesulfonic acid, isovaleric acid, or the like; or symmetric acid anhydrides), active esters (esters which can be prepared from phenol, HOBt, HONSu, or the like; optionally substituted with an electron withdrawing group such as a nitro group, a fluorine atom, and the like), lower alkyl esters, and the like can be exemplified. Each of which can be produced from carboxylic acid using reactions obvious to those skilled in the art. Depending on the kind of the reactives, it is sometimes advantageous for quick progress of the reaction to carry out the reaction in presence of a base (organic bases such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA), N-methylmorpholine, pyridine, 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine, and the like, or inorganic bases such as sodium hydrogen carbonate and the like). Pyridine can also serve as a solvent. Further, when a lower alkyl ester is used as the reactive derivative, it is preferable to carry out the reaction under from room temperature to heating under reflux.
(Production Process 2)
(Lv2 represents a leaving group such as pyrazol-1-yl optionally substituted with lower alkyl, or —S-lower alkyl, —O-phenyl, —Br, —Cl, and the like, and R8a represents lower alkyl.)
Compound (Ia) having lower alkyl as R8 among compounds of formula (I) can be produced by reaction of an amidine compound (3) having a leaving group with an amine compound (4).
This reaction can be carried out using compound (3) and compound (4) in equivalent amounts, or in an excess amount of one of them, in which their mixture is stirred under from cooling to heating under reflux, and preferably from 0° C. to 80° C., usually for 0.1 hours to 5 days, in a solvent inert to reaction or without solvent. Examples of solvents used herein are not limited, but include aromatic hydrocarbons, ethers, halogenated hydrocarbons, DMF, DMSO, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, and a mixture thereof. It is sometimes advantageous for smooth progress of the reaction to carry out the reaction in the presence of organic bases such as triethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, and the like, or inorganic bases such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, and the like.
Carboxylic acid or a reactive derivative thereof (1) of the above Production Process 1 can be produced by known methods or any variation thereof. For example, starting compound (1a) can be produced by the reaction route shown below (Production Process of Starting Compound).

Separately, 100 μl of the solution was distributed into a liquid scintillation vial, and 2 ml of Aquasol II (registered trademark) was added thereto, followed by stirring. Then, radioactivity was measured by a liquid scintillation counter. It was incubated at 37° C. for 60 minutes. The reaction mixture was sucked into 96-well GF/C filter plate that had been pre-treated with 0.2% polyethyleneimine, and washed six times with an ice-cooled, 50 mM Tris (pH 7.5) buffer. The GF/C filter plate was dried.
Microscint TMPS (registered trademark) was added thereto at 40 μl/well. Radioactivity remaining on the GF/C filter plate was measured by a top counter.
The [3H]5-CT binding inhibiting activity by the compound to be tested in each experiment was determined as an IC50 value with a radioactivity upon addition of DMSO alone being 0% inhibition, and a radioactivity upon addition of 1 μM 5-CT being 100% inhibition. Separately, Ki values were calculated from the Kd value of the [3H]5-CT determined from Scatchard analysis, by the following equation.
Ki=IC50(1+Concentraion of ligand added/Kd(4.95 nM))
As a result of this test, it was demonstrated that compound of formula (I) has a potent human 5-HT5A receptor binding inhibiting activity.

The improvement effect of compound of formula (I) on schizophrenia was evaluated by measuring the quantity of motion inhibited by administration of the compound in a model in which the symptoms were induced by methamphetamine (hereinafter abbreviated as MAP) and MK-801.
(1) Animal
Species: Male ICR mouse
(2) Operation Procedure
The animal was taken out of a breeding cage, orally administered with a test compound, and then placed into a cage for breeding. After 30 minutes, the animal was put into a cage for measurement, and the quantity of motion with the test compound alone was measured. Further, after 30 to 90 minutes, the animal was taken out, and subcutaneously or intraperitoneally administered with a drug for increasing the quantity of motion (MAP; 1.5 mg/kg or MK-801; 0.3 mg/kg, dissolved in physiological saline, respectively). Then, the quantity of motion for a certain period of time (60 minutes) was measured using a device for measuring the quantity of motion (CompACT AMS manufactured by Muromachi Kikai Co., Ltd.) by means of an infrared sensor.
(3) Analysis
For a normal mouse (a mouse administered with physiological saline) and a mouse administered with a drug for increasing the quantity of motion, a Student's T test was performed for evaluation for each interval. For a group administered with the test compound, an assay was performed using a solvent (vehicle) group and a Dunnett's T test. For the evaluation, if there was a significant difference (P<0.05), it was considered that there is an effect.
As a result of this test, compound of formula (I) inhibited the increase in the quantity of motion of the mouse. For example, the compounds of Examples 73, 148, 157, 160, 187, and 192 significantly inhibited the hyperactivity induced by MK-801 at doses of 0.1 mg/kg, 0.03 mg/kg, 0.03 mg/kg, 0.01 mg/kg, 0.01 mg/kg, and 0.01 mg/kg, respectively. Further, the compound of Example 148 significantly inhibited the hyperactivity induced by MAP at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg.
As described above, it was confirmed that compound of formula (I) has an improvement effect for the increase of the quantity of motion (hyperactivity) which is a symptom of schizophrenia.
The improvement effect of compound of formula (I) on cognitive impairment of dementia and schizophrenia was evaluated by a known test method as a model with short-term learning disorder.
(1) Animal
Species: Male ddY mouse
(2) Measurement Method
After 10 to 30 minutes from oral administration of the test compound, 0.5 mg/kg of Scoporamine or 0.15 mg/kg of MK-801 (in the case of a normal group, physiological saline was administered) was intraperitoneally administered. After 20 minutes, the test was conducted. In addition, solvent (vehicle) was orally administered to the normal group (to which physiological saline was administered) and to the control group (to which 0.5 mg/kg of Scoporamine or 0.15 mg/kg of MK-801 was administered), when the test compound was administered.
A mouse was placed at the end of one arm of a Y-maze having arms with the same length in three directions, and then allowed to explore freely and the number of arm entries was counted for 8 minutes. Further, spontaneous alternation behavior was defined as entries into all three different arms on consecutive occasions, and the ratio of the number of instances of this behavior to the total number of the entries was calculated as an alternation rate by the following formula:
Alternation rate(%)=Number of spontaneous alternation behaviors/(Total number of entries−2)×100.
(3) Data Analysis
If a significant difference between the normal group and the control group (Student's T test) was approved in the alternation rate (%), it was considered to have learning disorder by the administration of Scoporamine or MK-801. By carrying out a Dunnett's test on the group administered with the test compound with respect to the control group, the presence or absence of effect of the test compound on learning disorder was evaluated. For each assay, it was considered that there was a tendency when p<0.10 and there was a significant difference when p<0.05.
As a result of this test, compound of formula (I) inhibited the spontaneous alternation behavior in the mouse, induced by Scoporamine and MK-801. For example, the compound of Example 148 significantly inhibited spontaneous alternation behavior induced by Scoporamine at a dose of 0.01 mg/kg; the compound of Example 192 significantly inhibited spontaneous alternation behavior induced by Scoporamine at a dose of 0.003 mg/kg; the compounds of Examples 157 and 160 significantly inhibited spontaneous alternation behavior induced by Scoporamine at a dose of 0.001 mg/kg; and the compound of Example 187 significantly inhibited spontaneous alternation behavior induced by Scoporamine at a dose of 0.0003 mg/kg.
As a result of this test, it was confirmed that compound of formula (I) shows improvement effect on cognitive impairment of dementia and schizophrenia.
When a sound stimulus is given to a human, a startled reaction occurs, but for a normal human, this startled reaction is inhibited when the sound stimulus is preceded by a weak sound stimulus. This inhibiting action is similarly lowered in a patient with schizophrenia. It is known that when a rat is administered with PCP (phencyclidine), a similar symptom to human schizophrenia occurs. Using this model, the improvement effect of compound of formula (I) on information processing disorder included in cognitive impairment of schizophrenia was evaluated.
