The present invention relates to novel neurokinin-1 (NK1 or NK-1) receptor antagonists, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and methods of treatment using such compounds, to treat NK1 receptor mediated diseases and conditions, including, for example, emesis, depression, anxiety and cough.
Tachykinins are peptide ligands for neurokinin receptors. Neurokinin receptors, such as NK1, NK2 and NK3, are involved in a variety of biological processes. They can be found in a mammal's nervous and circulatory systems, as well as in peripheral tissues. Consequently, the modulation of these types of receptors has been studied to potentially treat or prevent various mammalian disease states. For instance, NK1 receptors have been reported to be involved in microvascular leakage and mucus secretion. Representative types of neurokinin receptor antagonists and the disorders that can be treated with them include, for example, sleep, pain, migraine, emesis, nociception and inflammation; see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,329,401, U.S. Pat. No. 5,760,018, U.S. Pat. No. 5,620,989, WO 95/19344, WO 94/13639, WO 94/10165, Wu et al., Tetrahedron, 56, 6279-6290 (2000), Rombouts et al., Tetrahedron, 59, 4721-4731 (2003), and Rogiers et al., Tetrahedron, 57, 8971-8981 (2001).
It would be beneficial to provide a NK1 antagonist that is potent, selective, and possesses beneficial therapeutic and pharmacological properties, and good metabolic stability. It would further be beneficial to provide a NK1 antagonist that is effective for treating a variety of physiological disorders, symptoms and diseases, while minimizing side effects. This invention provides such NK1 antagonists.

Compounds of Formula I are effective antagonists of the NK1 receptor, and have an effect on its endogenous agonist, Substance P, at the NK1 receptor site, and therefore, can be useful in treating diseases, disorders, or conditions caused or aggravated by the activity of the receptor.
The in vitro and in vivo NK1, NK2 and NK3 activities of the compounds of Formula I can be determined by various procedures known in the art, such as a test for their ability to inhibit the activity of the NK1 agonist Substance P. The percent inhibition of neurokinin agonist activity is the difference between the percent of maximum specific binding (“MSB”) and 100%. The percent of MSB is defined by the following equation, wherein “dpm” represents “disintegrations per minute”:
The concentration at which the compound produces 50% inhibition of binding is then used to determine an inhibition constant (“Ki”) using the Chang-Prusoff equation.
In vivo activity may be measured by inhibition of an agonist-induced foot tapping in a gerbil, as described in Science, 281, 1640-1695 (1998), which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. It will be recognized that compounds of Formula I can exhibit NK1 antagonist activities of varying degrees. For instance, certain compounds can exhibit stronger NK1 antagonist activities than others.
The compounds of the present invention exhibit potent affinities for the NK1 receptor as measured by Ki values (in nM). The activities (potencies) for the compounds of the invention are determined by measuring their Ki values. The smaller the Ki value, the more active is a compound for antagonizing the NK1 receptor. Compounds of the invention exhibit a wide range of activities. The NK1 average Ki values for compounds of Formula I generally range from 0.01 nM to about 1000 nM, preferably, from about 0.1 nM to about 100 nM, with values of from about 0.1 nM to about 10 nM being more preferred. Even more preferred are compounds having average Ki values of from 0.1 nM to about 5 nM for the NK1 receptor. Especially preferred compounds have NK1 average Ki values of from 0.1 nM to about 1 nM. Even more especially preferred compounds have NK1 average Ki values of from 0.1 nM to about 0.3 nM. Compounds 2, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 19, 20, 23, 29, 30, 42, and 54 (see Table I above) have Ki values, respectively, of 0.12, 0.18, 0.1, 0.05, 0.1, 0.13, 0.1, 0.11, 0.12 0.11, 0.54, 0.28, and 0.12 nM.
Compounds of the Formula I have a number of utilities. For instance, the inventive compounds can be useful as antagonists of neurokinin receptors, particularly, NK1 receptors in a mammal, such as a human. As such, they may be useful in treating and preventing one or more of a variety of mammalian (human and animal) disease states (physiological disorders, symptoms and diseases) in a patient in need of such treatment, wherein the disease states are selected from the group consisting of: (1) respiratory diseases (e.g., chronic lung disease, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, allergy, cough and bronchospasm), (2) inflammatory diseases (e.g., arthritis and psoriasis), (3) skin disorders (e.g., atopic dermatitis and contact dermatitis), (4) opthalmologic disorders (e.g., retinitis, ocular hypertension and cataracts), (5) central nervous system conditions, such as depressions (e.g., neurotic depression), anxieties (e.g., general anxiety, social anxiety and panic anxiety disorders), phobias (e.g., social phobia), and bipolar disorder, (6) addictions (e.g., alcohol dependence and psychoactive substance abuse), (7) epilepsy, (8) nociception, (9) psychosis, (10) schizophrenia, (11) Alzheimer's disease, (12) AIDs related dementia, (13) Towne's disease, (14) stress related disorders (e.g., post traumatic stress disorder), (15) obsessive/compulsive disorders, (16) eating disorders (e.g., bulimia, anorexia nervosa and binge eating), (17) sleep disorders, (18) mania, (19) premenstrual syndrome, (20) gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, colitis, and emesis), (21) atherosclerosis, (22) fibrosing disorders (e.g., pulmonary fibrosis), (23) obesity, (24) Type II diabetes, (25) pain related disorders (e.g., headaches, such as migraines, neuropathic pain, post-operative pain, and chronic pain syndromes), (26) bladder and genitourinary disorders (e.g., interstitial cystitis and urinary incontinence), (27) emesis (e.g., chemotherapy-induced (e.g., induced by cisplatin, doxorubicin, and taxane), radiation-induced, motion sickness, ethanol-induced, and post operative nausea and vomiting), and (28) nausea. Preferably, the inventive compounds can be useful in treating and preventing one of the following mammalian (e.g., human) disease states in a patient in need of such treatment: respiratory diseases (e.g., cough), depression, anxiety, phobia, and bipolar disorder, alcohol dependence, psychoactive substance abuse, nociception, psychosis, schizophrenia, stress related disorders, obsessive/compulsive disorder, bulimia, anorexia nervosa and binge eating, sleep disorders, mania, premenstrual syndrome, gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, pain related disorders, bladder disorders, genitourinary disorders, emesis and nausea. In particular, the compounds according to Formula I are useful for treating disease states related to microvascular leakage and mucus secretion. Consequently, the compounds of the invention are especially useful in the treatment and prevention of asthma, emesis, nausea, depressions, anxieties, cough and pain related disorders, more especially, emesis, depression, anxiety and cough.
In another aspect, the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one compound (e.g., one to three compounds, preferably, one compound) represented by Formula I and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier. The invention also relates to the use of such pharmaceutical compositions in the treatment of mammalian (e.g., human) disease states, such as those listed above.
In still another aspect of the invention, a method is provided for antagonizing the effects of a Substance P at a neurokinin-1 receptor site or for the blockade of one or more neurokinin-1 receptors in a mammal (i.e., a patient, e.g., a human) in need of such treatment, comprising administering to the mammal an effective amount of at least one (e.g., one) compound according to Formula I.
In another aspect of the invention, an effective amount of one or more of the inventive NK1 receptor antagonists may be combined with an effective amount of one or more anti-depressant agents and/or one or more anti-anxiety agents (e.g., gepirone, gepirone hydrochloride, nefazodone, and nefazodone hydrochloride (e.g., Serzone®)) to treat depression and/or anxiety. U.S. Pat. No. 6,117,855 (2000), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, discloses a method for treating or preventing depression or anxiety with a combination therapy of a specific NK1 receptor antagonist together with an anti-depressant and/or anti-anxiety agent. Thus, anti-depressant and/or anti-anxiety agents, such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,117,855 (2000), can be combined with one or more (e.g., one) compounds of the Formula I to treat depression and/or anxiety disease states in a mammal, preferably, a human.
In still another aspect of the invention, an effective amount of one or more (e.g., one) of the inventive NK1 receptor antagonists may be combined with an effective amount of one or more (e.g., one) selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (“SSRIs”) to treat a variety of mammalian disease states, such as those described above. SSRIs alter the synaptic availability of serotonin through their inhibition of presynaptic reaccumulation of neuronally released serotonin. U.S. Pat. No. 6,162,805 (2000), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, discloses a method for treating obesity with a combination therapy of a NK1 receptor antagonist and an SSRI. One or more inventive compound(s) of the Formula I can be combined together with an SSRI(s) in a single pharmaceutical composition, or it can be administered simultaneously, concurrently or sequentially with an SSRI. This combination may be useful in the treatment and prevention of obesity or another of the above-identified human and animal disease states. In particular, an effective amount of at least one (e.g., one) compound having the Formula I, alone or together with an effective amount of at least one (e.g., one) selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, can be useful in the treatment and prevention of depression, and/or anxiety.
Numerous chemical substances are known to alter the synaptic availability of serotonin through their inhibition of presynaptic reaccumulation of neuronally released serotonin. Representative SSRIs include, without limitation, the following: fluoxetine, fluoxetine hydrochloride (e.g., Prozac®), fluvoxamine, fluvoxamine maleate (e.g. Luvox®), paroxetine, paroxetine hydrochloride (e.g., Paxil®), sertraline, sertraline hydrochloride (e.g., Zoloft®), citalopram, citalopram hydrobromide (e.g., Celexa™), duloxetine, duloxetine hydrochloride, venlafaxine, and venlafaxine hydrochloride (e.g., Effexor®). Further SSRIs include those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,162,805 (2000). Other compounds can readily be evaluated to determine their ability to selectively inhibit serotonin reuptake. Thus, one aspect of the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one (e.g., one) NK1 receptor antagonist having the Formula I, at least one (e.g., one) SSRI, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of treating the above identified mammalian (e.g., human) disease states, the method comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one (e.g., one) NK1 receptor antagonist having the Formula I in combination with at least one (e.g., one) SSRI, such as one of those recited above, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier.
In a preferred aspect, the invention relates to a method of treating depression and anxiety, the method comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment an effective amount of at least one (e.g., one) NK1 receptor antagonist having the Formula I in combination with at least one (e.g., one) SSRI, such as one of those described above. When an inventive NK1 receptor antagonist is combined with an SSRI for administration to a patient in need of such treatment, the two active ingredients can be administered simultaneously, consecutively (one after the other within a relatively short period of time), or sequentially (first one and then the other over a period of time). In general, when the two active ingredients are administered consecutively or sequentially, the inventive NK1 receptor antagonist is, preferably, administered before the administration of the SSRI.
It is another embodiment of the invention to treat a patient suffering from multiple ailments with a combination therapy, the therapy comprising administering to a patient (e.g., a mammal, preferably a human) in need of such treatment at least one compound of Formula I, and at least one other active ingredient (i.e., drug) used for treating one or more of the ailments being suffered by the patient. The compounds of Formula I and the other active ingredients can be administered sequentially, concurrently and/or simultaneously. The compounds of Formula I and the other active ingredients can be administered separately in any suitable dosage form. Preferably, administration is accomplished using an oral dosage forms or using a transdermal patches. The compounds of Formula I and the other active ingredients can be formulated together and administered in one combined dosage form.
Thus, the compounds of the invention may be employed alone or in combination with other active agents. Combination therapy includes the administration of two or more active ingredients to a patient in need of treatment. In addition to the above described NK1 receptor antagonist/SSRI combination therapy, the compounds having the Formula I may be combined with one or more other active agents, such as the following: other types of NK1 receptor antagonists (e.g., those that are disclosed in neurokinin receptor antagonist patents cited above), prostanoids, H1 receptor antagonists, α-adrenergic receptor agonists, dopamine receptor agonists, melanocortin receptor agonists, endothelin receptor antagonists, endothelin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, neutral metalloendopeptidase inhibitors, ETA antagonists, renin inhibitors, serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists (e.g., ondansetron, ondansetron hydrochloride (e.g., Zolfran®), palonosetron, granisetron, and granisetron hydrochloride (e.g., Kytril®), serotonin 5-HT2c receptor agonists, nociceptin receptor agonists, glucocorticoids (e.g., dexamethasone), rho kinase inhibitors, potassium channel modulators and/or inhibitors of multi-drug resistance protein 5.
Particularly useful therapeutic agents for combination therapy with compounds of the invention are the following: prostanoids, such as prostaglandin E1; α-adrenergic agonists, such as phentolamine mesylate; dopamine receptor agonists, such as apomorphine; angiotensin II antagonists, such as losartan, irbesartan, valsartan and candesartan; ETA antagonists, such as bosentan and ABT-627; serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, such as ondansetron; and glucocorticoids, such as dexamethasone. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the inventive compounds can be combined with: other types of NK1 receptor antagonists, SSRIs, dopamine receptor agonists, serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, serotonin 5-HT2c receptor agonists, nociceptin receptor agonists, glucocorticoids and/or inhibitors of multi-drug resistance protein 5.
Another embodiment of this invention is directed to a method for treating a physiological disorder, symptom or disease in a patient in need of such treatment, comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula I, and an effective amount of at least one active ingredient selected from the group consisting of: other NK1 receptor antagonists, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, dopamine receptor agonists, serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, serotonin 5-HT2c receptor agonists, nociceptin receptor agonists, glucocorticoids and inhibitors of multidrug resistance protein 5, wherein the physiological disorder, symptom or disease is selected from the group consisting of: a respiratory disease, depression, anxiety, phobia, bipolar disorder, alcohol dependence, psychoactive substance abuse, nociception, psychosis, schizophrenia, stress related disorder, obsessive/compulsive disorder, bulimia, anorexia nervosa, binge eating, sleep disorder, mania, premenstrual syndrome, gastrointestinal disorder, obesity, headache, neuropathic pain, post-operative pain, chronic pain syndrome, bladder disorder, genitourinary disorder, cough, emesis and nausea.

Preferably the compound is administered orally.
Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in a unit dosage form. In such form, the preparations subdivided into suitably sized unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component, e.g., an effective amount to achieve the desired purpose.
The term “pharmaceutical composition” is also intended to encompass both the bulk composition and individual dosage units, in any of the forms described herein, comprised of more than one (e.g., two) pharmaceutically active agents such as, for example, a compound of the present invention and an additional agent selected from the lists of the additional agents described herein, along with any pharmaceutically inactive excipients. The bulk composition and each individual dosage unit can contain fixed amounts of the aforesaid “more than one pharmaceutically active agents”. The term “bulk composition” means material that has not yet been formed into individual dosage units. An illustrative dosage unit is an oral dosage unit such as tablets, pills and the like. Similarly, the herein-described method of treating a patient by administering a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is also intended to encompass the administration of the aforesaid bulk composition and individual dosage units.
The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted from about 0.01 mg to about 4000 mg, preferably from about 0.02 mg to about 1000 mg, more preferably from about 0.3 mg to about 500 mg, and most preferably from about 0.04 mg to about 250 mg according to the particular application.
The actual dosage employed may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient and the severity of the condition being treated. Determination of the proper dosage regimen for a particular situation is within the skill in the art. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day as required.
The amount and frequency of administration of the compounds of the invention and/or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof will be regulated according to the judgment of the attending clinician considering such factors as age, condition and size of the patient as well as severity of the symptoms being treated. A typical recommended daily dosage regimen for oral administration can range from about 0.02 mg/day to about 2000 mg/day, in two to four divided doses.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be administered from about 1 to about 5 times per day, or alternatively, as a continuous infusion. Such administration can be used as a chronic or acute therapy.
The quantity of NK1 receptor antagonist in combination with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (“SSRI”) in a unit dose of preparation may be from about 10 to about 300 mg of NK1 receptor antagonist combined with from about 10 to about 100 mg of SSRI. In another combination the quantity of NK1 receptor antagonist in combination with a SSRI in a unit dose of preparation may be from about 50 to about 300 mg of NK1 receptor antagonist combined with from about 10 to about 100 mg of SSRI. In another combination the quantity of NK1 receptor antagonist in combination with SSRI in a unit dose of preparation may be from about 50 to about 300 mg of NK1 receptor antagonist combined with from about 20 to about 50 mg of SSRI.
The actual dosage employed may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient and the severity of the condition being treated. Determination of the proper dosage regimen for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day as required. Upon improvement of a patient's condition, a maintenance dose of a compound, composition or combination of the invention may be administered, if necessary. Subsequently, the dosage or frequency of administration, or both, may be reduced, as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the improved condition is retained. When the symptoms have been alleviated to the desired level, treatment should cease. Patients may, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of disease symptoms.
Specific dosage and treatment regimens for any particular patient may be varied and will depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health status, sex and diet of the patient, the time of administration, the rate of excretion, the specific drug combination, the severity and course of the symptoms being treated, the patient's disposition to the condition being treated and the judgment of the treating physician. Determination of the proper dosage regimen for a particular situation is within the skill of the art.
The invention disclosed herein is exemplified by the following preparations and examples, which should not be construed to limit the scope of the disclosure. Alternative mechanistic pathways and analogous structures may be apparent to those skilled in the art.
