The present invention relates to substituted pyrazine-carboxamide derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy, particularly in the treatment and/or prevention of neuronal and non-neuronal conditions having an association with mGluR4 function and/or in the treatment of obesity by means of mGluR4 modulation.
L-glutamate (here referred to as glutamate) is among the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitters within the vertebrate brain. Malfunction of the brain glutamate system often leads to neurological or psychiatric disorders. Therefore, modulation of the glutamatergic system is considered as attractive therapeutic direction.
Glutamate acts via different types of glutamate receptor, which are located on the cell surface. Glutamate receptors include AMPA receptors, kainate receptors, NMDA receptors, and metabotropic glutamate receptors. The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) exert their action via coupling to G proteins and activation of second messenger systems.
The mGluR subtypes are classified into three groups (distinction by sequence homology, pharmacology, second messenger system) with Group III being the largest group (mGluR4, mGluR6, mGluR7, mGluR8) [Conn and Pin, Annu Rev Pharmacol Toxicol, 1997, 37: 205-237].
Group III mGlu receptors share mainly presynaptic expression Schoepp, Pharmacol Exp Ther, 2001, 299: 12-20) where they modulate glutamatergic as well as GABAergic transmission. Activation of Group III receptors (including mGluR4) reduces transmitter release due to its activation of the Gai/o which leads to attenuated adenylate cyclase activity.
The mGluR4 receptor is mainly located in presynaptic endings of nerve endings. Expression of mGluR4 has been demonstrated in multiple brain regions with high expression within the basal ganglia and cerebellum among other brain regions. Due to expression of mGluR4 within relevant brain circuitries and its role to modulate transmitter release, mGluR4 modulators are considered to have impact on motor control (including Parkinsons Disease), impulse control, learning and memory, cognition, anxiety, pain, cerebellar functions, epilepsy, modulation of excitation/inhibition balance, which is of crucial importance for information processing (Marino et al. Ann NY Acad Sci, 2003, 1003: 435-437; Isherwood et al. Neuropharmacology 2017, 123: 249-260; Makoff et al. Mol Brain Res, 1996, 37: 239-248; Davis et al. Neuropharmacology 2013, 66: 365-372; Iscru et al. Genes Brain Behav. 2013, 12: 615-625; Szczurowska and Mareš, Physiol Res, 2012, 61: 619-628) but is not limited to these actions.
As mGluR4 has been reported to be also expressed in peripheral tissue like islets of Langerhans, but not limited to, it is considered that antagonists of mGluR4 function may also have therapeutic effect in disorders including but not limited to metabolic disorders, gastro-intestinal disorders, and cancer (Chang et al. Clin Cancer Res. 2005, 11: 3288-3295; Uhera et al. Diabetes 2004, 53: 998-1006; Nunez-Salces et al. Neurogastroenterol Motil 2020, 32). As mGluR4 has been reported to be also expressed in vagal afferents as well as within central satiety pathways and brain circuits, it is considered that antagonists of mGluR4 function may also have therapeutic effect in disorders including but not limited to overweight and obesity (Blackshow et al. Front Neurosci 2011, 5: 40; 1-7; Page et al. Br J Pharmacol. 2012, 166: 1537-1558).
WO21028512 describes arylsulfonamides as mGluR4 NAMs. However, the activity of those compounds seems too low to be applicable as a drug, especially so since acidic arylsulfonamides might additionally be subject to efflux at the blood brain barrier, which limits their brain exposure for CNS applications.

Compounds of the present invention are potent mGluR4 negative modulators inhibiting the function of mGluR4 thereby blocking glutamate induced intracellular cAMP lowering.
The present invention thus provides compounds for use in the treatment of a mGluR4 mediated disorder.
The present invention further provides methods of treating a mGluR4 mediated disorder in a human subject comprising administering to the subject a compound or composition of a compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
In one aspect, the invention relates to a method for treating a condition for which reduced mGluR4 activity can reduce the severity of the condition, by administering a compound inhibiting mGluR4 function, such as a compound as described herein that inhibits glutamate induced intracellular cAMP lowering. Described herein are compounds, which are antagonists of mGluR4 function that have a measured IC50 for inhibition of mGluR4 of 100 nanomolar, preferred 50 nM or less.
In another aspect, the compounds described herein, which are antagonists of mGluR4 function can be used to inhibit a function of mGluR4, for example a mGluR4-mediated glutamate induced intracellular cAMP lowering. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein can be used to inhibit a mGluR4 mediated glutamate induced intracellular cAMP lowering in vitro, for example in cells in culture. In other embodiments, the compounds described herein can be used to inhibit a mGluR4 mediated glutamate induced intracellular cAMP lowering in vivo.
Terms not specifically defined herein should be given the meanings that would be given to them by one skilled in the art in the light of the disclosure and the context.
The terms “negative modulator”, “antagonist” and “inhibitor” are used interchangeably to refer to an agent that decreases or suppresses a biological activity such as the reduction of an activity of a receptor, and comprise negative allosteric modulators (NAM). mGluR4 receptors as described herein include homomultimeric and heteromultimeric structures (e.g. homomultimeric mGluR4 and heteromeric mGluR4-mGluR2). Inhibitors of mGluR4 function include inhibitors having any combination of the structural and/or functional properties disclosed herein.
An “effective amount” of a (mGluR4) antagonist, with respect to the subject methods of inhibition or treatment, refers to an amount of the antagonist in a preparation which, when applied as part of a desired dosage regimen brings about a desired clinical or functional result. Without being bound by theory, an effective amount of a mGluR4 antagonist for use in the methods of the present invention includes an amount of a mGluR4 antagonist effective to decrease one or more in vitro or in vivo functions of a mGluR4 receptor. Exemplary functions include, but are not limited to, changed intracellular cAMP, or synaptic transmitter release, or changed neuronal activity or modulation of impulsive behavior. Compounds that antagonize mGluR4 function include compounds that antagonize an in vitro or in vivo functional activity of mGluR4. When a particular functional activity is only readily observable in an in vitro assay, the ability of a compound to inhibit mGluR4 function in that in vitro assay serves as a reasonable proxy for the activity of that compound. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to inhibit a mGluR4-mediated cellular function.
The mGluR4 antagonists for use in the methods of the present invention may be characterized according to their activity, or lack of activity, against one or more receptors. When other receptors are referred to, inhibition of a function of such other receptors is defined similarly. For example, inhibition of a receptor or an activity of a receptor means the antagonist inhibits one or more functional activities of the other receptor. Such functions include, for example, signal transduction across a cellular membrane and/or changes in the intracellular concentration of intracellular substances like cAMP mediated by the particular receptor and subsequent functions like e.g. neurotransmitter release.
The terms “compound” and “agent” are used interchangeably to refer to the negative modulators 35 of the invention.
In the groups, radicals, or moieties defined below, the number of carbon atoms is often specified preceding the group, for example, C1-6-alkyl means an alkyl group or radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. In general, for groups comprising two or more subgroups, the last named subgroup is the radical attachment point, for example, the substituent “aryl-C1-3-alkyl-” means an aryl group which is bound to a C1-3-alkyl-group the latter of which is bound to the core or to the group to which the substituent is attached.
In case a compound of the present invention is depicted in form of a chemical name and as a formula in case of any discrepancy the formula shall prevail.
An asterisk may be used in sub-formulas to indicate the bond which is connected to the core molecule as defined.
The compounds described herein can be chiral (e.g., having one or more stereocenters). All stereoisomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, are intended unless otherwise indicated. Compounds of the present invention that contain asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. Methods on how to prepare optically active forms from optically active starting materials are known in the art, such as by resolution of racemic mixtures or by stereoselective synthesis.
Resolution of racemic mixtures of compounds can be carried out by any of numerous methods known in the art. An example method includes fractional recrystallizaion using a “chiral resolving agent” which is an optically active, salt-forming organic acid. Suitable resolving agents for fractional recrystallization methods are, for example, optically active acids, such as the D and L forms of tartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, lactic acid or the various optically active camphorsulfonic acids such as β-camphorsulfonic acid. Other resolving agents suitable for fractional crystallization methods include stereoisomerically pure forms of α-methylbenzylamine (e.g., S- and R-forms, or diastereomerically pure forms), 2-phenylglycinol, norephedrine, ephedrine, N-methylephedrine, cyclohexylethylamine, and 1,2-diaminocyclohexane.
Resolution of racemic mixtures can also be carried out by elution on a column packed with an optically active resolving agent (e.g., dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine). Suitable elution solvent composition can be determined by one skilled in the art. Compounds of the invention also include tautomeric forms, such as keto-enol tautomers.
Unless specifically indicated, throughout the specification and the appended claims, a given chemical formula or name shall encompass tautomers and all stereo, optical and geometrical isomers (e.g. enantiomers, diastereoisomers, E/Z isomers) and racemates thereof, as well as mixtures in different proportions of the separate enantiomers, mixtures of diastereoisomers, or mixtures of any of the foregoing forms where such isomers and enantiomers exist.
Compounds of the invention can also include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the intermediates or final compounds. For example, the compound of the invention may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (3H) or carbon-14 (14C). All isotopic variations, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” is employed herein to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, and commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.
As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refer to derivatives of the disclosed compounds wherein the parent compound forms a salt with an acid or a base.
Examples for acids forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt with a parent compound containing a basic moiety include mineral or organic acids such as benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, citric acid, ethanesulfonic acid, fumaric acid, gentisic acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrochloric acid, maleic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, 4-methyl-benzenesulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, salicylic acid, succinic acid, sulfuric acid and tartaric acid. Also included are the salts of amino acids such as arginate, and salts of organic acids like glucuronic or galactunoric acids (see, for example, Berge et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts”, Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, 66, 1-19).
The neutral form of the compounds of the invention is preferably regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to the parent form of the compound for the purposes of the present invention.
The term halogen generally denotes fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine.
Alkyl
The term “C1-n-alkyl”, wherein n is an integer from 2 to n, either alone or in combination with another radical denotes an acyclic, saturated, branched or linear hydrocarbon radical with 1 to n C atoms. For example the term C1-C5-alkyl embraces the radicals H3C—, H3C—CH2—, H3C—CH2—CH2—, H3C—CH(CH3)—, H3C—CH2—CH2—CH2—, H3C—CH2—CH(CH3)—, H3C—CH(CH3)—CH2—, H3C—C(CH3)2—, H3C—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2—, H3C—CH2—CH2—CH(CH3)—, H3C—CH2—CH(CH3)—CH2—, H3C—CH(CH3)—CH2—CH2—, H3C—CH2—C(CH3)2—, H3C—C(CH3)2—CH2—, H3C—CH(CH3)—CH(CH3)— and H3C—CH2—CH(CH2CH3)—.

The biological activity of compounds is determined by the following methods:
A. In Vitro Testing of mGluR4 Potency
The in vitro activity of the compounds according to the invention may be investigated as follows:
The HEK293 cell overexpressing the human metabotropic Glutamate 4 receptor are thawed at 37° C. and immediately diluted with cell culture medium. After centrifugation, the cell pellet is re-suspended in medium and then distributed from a stirred spinner flask into the wells of the assay plate. The plates are incubated for one hour at room temperature before they are incubated for 24 hours at 37° C./5% CO2. After washing the cells in the plate three times with 80 uL HBSS/HEPES buffer (10 uL buffer remained in the wells after washing), 5 uL per well of compounds diluted in HBSS/HEPES buffer containing 0.2% BSA (final concentration: 0.1%) and 1 mM IBMX (final concentration: 0.5 mM) are added to the wells of the assay plate. Thereafter 5 uL per well of L-Glutamic acid (final concentration: 10 uM), forskolin (final concentration: 1 uM) and 1 mM IBMX (final concentration: 0.5 mM) dissolved in HBSS/HEPES buffer containing 0.2% BSA (final concentration: 0.1%) are added to the assay plate (final DMSO concentration: 1%). Several wells of the assay plate are used either for the positive and the negative controls or for the cAMP standard curve. The assay plate is incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Then 5 ul per well of Anti-cAMP-Antibody-d2 solution and 5 ul per well of cAMP-Europium Cryptate dilution are added to all wells of the plate and the plate is incubated another 60 minutes light protected at room temperature. The emission at 615 nm and 665 nm (Excitation wavelength: 320 nm) are measured on the EnVision™ reader (PerkinElmer). The ratio between the emission at 665 nm and 615 is calculated by the reader. The whole assay is performed in the dark or under green light.
The cAMP standard is prepared by diluting the cAMP stock solution with HBSS/Hepes buffer: 5 μl/well of the cAMP dilutions (in HBSS/Hepes buffer containing 1 mM IBMX and 0.2% BSA-final concentration: 0.5 mM IBMX and 0.1% BSA) are added to 10 ul/well HBSS/Hepes buffer plus 5 ul/well 4% DMSO in HBSS/Hepes containing 0.2% BSA (final DMSO concentration: 1%-like in the wells containing compounds) in the wells of the assay plate. The final cAMP concentrations in the assay plate are: 0, 0.17, 0.69, 2.78, 11.1, 44.5, 178, and 712 nM (two wells/cAMP concentration).
Each assay microtiter plate contained also wells with vehicle controls instead of compound as controls for L-Glutamic acid induced signal (negative control; 100% CTL; 10 uM L-Glutamic acid +1 uM forskolin+0.5 mM IBMX+1% DMSO) and wells with vehicle controls without L-Glutamic acid as controls for non-specific changes in signal (positive control; 0% CTL; 0 uM L-Glutamic acid+1 uM forskolin+0.5 mM IBMX+1% DMSO).
The analysis of the data is performed by the calculation the ratio between the emission at 665 nm and the emission at 615 nm (Em665/Em615 ratio). Thereafter the signals of the compounds are normalized using the positive and negative controls by the following formula:
The metabolic stability of the compounds according to the invention may be investigated as follows:
The metabolic degradation of the test compound is assayed at 37° C. with pooled human liver microsomes. The final incubation volume of 100 pL per time point contains TRIS buffer pH 7.6 at room temperature (0.1 M), MgCl2 (5 mM), microsomal protein (1 mg/mL) and the test compound at a final concentration of 1 μM. Following a short pre-incubation period at 37° C., the reactions are initiated by addition of beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced form (NADPH, 1 mM), and terminated by transferring an aliquot into solvent after different time points. After centrifugation (10000 g, 5 min), an aliquot of the supernatant is assayed by LC-MS/MS for the amount of parent compound. The half-life (t1/2) is determined by the slope of the semi-logarithmic plot of the concentration-time profile.
C. Assessment of Efflux in Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) Cells Transfected with the Human MDR1 Gene
Apparent permeability coefficients (PE) of the compounds across the MDCK-MDR1 cell monolayers are measured (pH 7.4, 37° C.) in apical-to-basal (AB) and basal-to-apical (BA) transport direction. AB permeability (PEAB) represents drug absorption from the blood into the brain and BA permeability (PEBA) drug efflux from the brain back into the blood via both passive permeability as well as active transport mechanisms mediated by efflux and uptake transporters that are expressed on the MDCK-MDR1 cells, predominantly by the overexpressed human MDR1 P-gp. The compounds are assigned to permeability/absorption classes by comparison of the AB permeabilities with the AB permeabilities of reference compounds with known in vitro permeability and oral absorption in the human. Identical or similar permeabilities in both transport directions indicate passive permeation, vectorial permeability points to additional active transport mechanisms. Higher PEBA than PEAB indicates the involvement of active efflux mediated by MDR1 P-gp. Active transport is concentration-dependently saturable.
MDCK-MDR1 cells (1-2×10e5 cells/1 cm2 area) are seeded on filter inserts (Costar transwell polycarbonate or PET filters, 0.4 μm pore size) and cultured (DMEM) for 7 days. Subsequently, the MDR1 expression is boosted by culturing the cells with 5 mM sodium butyrate in full medium for 2 days. Compounds are dissolved in appropriate solvent (like DMSO, 1−20 mM stock solutions). Stock solutions are diluted with HTP-4 buffer (128.13 mM NaCl, 5.36 mM KCl, 1 mM MgSO4, 1.8 mM CaCl2, 4.17 mM NaHCO3, 1.19 mM Na2HPO4×7H2O, 0.41 mM NaH2PO4×H2O, 15 mM HEPES, 20 mM glucose, 0.25% BSA, pH 7.4) to prepare the transport solutions (0.1-300 μM compound, final DMSO<=0.5%). The transport solution (TL) is applied to the apical or basolateral donor side for measuring A-B or B-A permeability (3 filter replicates), respectively. The receiver side contains the same buffer as the donor side. Samples are collected at the start and end of experiment from the donor and at various time intervals for up to 2 hours also from the receiver side for concentration measurement by HPLC-MS/MS or scintillation counting. Sampled receiver volumes are replaced with fresh receiver solution.
Assessment of efficacy on motor impulsive behavior may be investigated as follows:
5-CSRTT task training took place according to standard protocols (Isherwood et al. Neuropharmacology 2017, 123: 249-260). Briefly, rats were trained to nose poke at the location of a light cue presented at 1 of 5 locations on a curved wall of an operant box (Med Associates Inc, St. Albans, Vermont). If a nose poke occurred at the illuminated location during or up to 1 s after stimulus presentation a sugar pellet was delivered in a reward receptacle located across the chamber. Infrared beams in each choice aperture and the reward receptacle allowed for precise detection of the rat at this task associated operanda. Motor impulsive behavior was defined as a response at any nose poke aperture which occurred before onset of the light cue (premature response).
After reaching stable performance, a new analytical approach was applied which revealed trait-like (long-term) stability in the number of premature responses individual animals made across several months. In general, this analysis made it possible to robustly stratify animals into high- and low-impulsive groups based on longitudinal assessment of the number of premature responses they made during training.
Experiments were performed in cross-over such that all experiment subjects received both vehicle and compound, on separate days, with each administration separated by ˜2 weeks.
The order of vehicle and compound administration was randomized within experimental subjects, while a third group was administered Atomoxetine on both experimental days as a technical control.
As a standardized numerical threshold for impulsivity levels, animals with >40 and <40 premature responses (out of 200 initiated trials) in vehicle were labeled as high and low impulsive, respectively. Importantly, this numerical threshold-based labeling overlapped >80% 30 with the longitudinal analysis of the training data (described above). The high convergence of these two approaches towards stratification allowed us to robustly compare compound effects in stably high- vs stably low-impulsive rats in the 5-CSRTT.
Compounds of the present invention differ structurally from the structurally closest compounds in the prior art (i.e. Examples 8, 12, 125 and Intermediate 250 in WO 2019/138017) in that the heteromonocycle bound as an carboxamide is a pyrazine (6-membered heteroaryl) group rather than a pyrazole or isoxazole moiety (5-membered heteroaryl). Whereas the structurally closest compounds disclosed in WO2019/138017 are as disclosed therein immunomodulators (IL-17 modulators), compounds of the present invention unexpectedly are highly potent mGluR4 negative modulators (see Table 2). The structurally closest compounds disclosed in WO2019/138017 were tested in Assay A and found to have no therapeutically relevant activity as mGluR4 modulators (Table 1). Unexpectedly, compounds of the present invention are >100 times more potent in Assay A. (Compare data in Tables 1 and 2).
The present invention is directed to compounds which are useful in the treatment and/or prevention of a disease, disorder and condition wherein the inhibition of mGluR4 activity is of therapeutic benefit, including but not limited to the treatment of psychiatric and neurological conditions associated with impulse control deficits or maladaptive impulsivity. Such impulse control deficits are seen in addictions including substance use disorders; personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, conduct disorder, eating disorders such as binge eating disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, stress related disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder, tic disorders like Tourerett's syndrome, other movement disorders such as restless legs syndrome. According to a further aspect of the invention, compounds of the present invention are useful in the treatment of mGluR4 related pathophysiological disturbances, cognition, motivated behaviours/reward, mood and stress, aggression. In addition, there is therapeutic benefit in cancer and related disorders associated with maladaptive tumorgenesis like osteosarcoma. According to a further aspect of the invention, compounds of the present invention are useful in the treatment of metabolic disorders by mGluR4-related modulation of satiety pathways and/or signaling, to treat disorders including but not limited to obesity.
