As used herein, a bicyclic or tricyclic aryl group comprises at least one aromatic group and includes fused and bridged rings. Unless stated otherwise specifically in the specification, an aryl group can be optionally substituted.
For example, the aryl group is selected from 5- and 6-membered carbocyclic aromatic rings fused to a 5- to 7-membered cycloalkyl or heterocyclic ring optionally comprising at least one heteroatom selected from N, O, and S, provided that the point of attachment is at the carbocyclic aromatic ring when the carbocyclic aromatic ring is fused with a heterocyclic ring, and the point of attachment can be at the carbocyclic aromatic ring or at the cycloalkyl group when the carbocyclic aromatic ring is fused with a cycloalkyl group. Bivalent radicals formed from substituted benzene derivatives and having the free valences at ring atoms are named as substituted phenylene radicals. Bivalent radicals derived from univalent polycyclic hydrocarbon radicals whose names end in “-yl” by removal of one hydrogen atom from the carbon atom with the free valence are named by adding “-idene” to the name of the corresponding univalent radical, e.g., a naphthyl group with two points of attachment is termed naphthylidene. Aryl, however, does not encompass or overlap with heteroaryl, separately defined below. Hence, if one or more carbocyclic aromatic rings are fused with a heterocyclic aromatic ring, the resulting ring system is heteroaryl, not aryl, as defined herein.
“Arylene” refers to a divalent aryl group.

As used herein, a bicyclic or tricyclic heteroaryl group comprises at least one aromatic group and includes fused and bridged rings. Unless stated otherwise specifically in the specification, a heteroaryl group can be optionally substituted.
For example, the heteroaryl group includes a 5- to 7-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring fused to a 5- to 7-membered cycloalkyl ring. For such fused, bicyclic heteroaryl ring systems wherein only one of the rings comprises at least one heteroatom, the point of attachment may be at the heteroaromatic ring or at the cycloalkyl ring.
When the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl group exceeds 1, those heteroatoms are not adjacent to one another. In some embodiments, the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl group is not more than 2.

The compounds may contain an asymmetric center and may thus exist as enantiomers. Where the compounds possess two or more asymmetric centers, they may additionally exist as diastereomers. Enantiomers and diastereomers fall within the broader class of stereoisomers. All such possible stereoisomers as substantially pure resolved enantiomers, racemic mixtures thereof, as well as mixtures of diastereomers are intended to be included. All stereoisomers of the compounds and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are intended to be included. Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, reference to one isomer applies to any of the possible isomers. Whenever the isomeric composition is unspecified, all possible isomers are included.
The term “substantially pure” means that the target stereoisomer contains no more than 35%, such as no more than 30%, further such as no more than 25%, even further such as no more than 20%, by weight of any other stereoisomer(s). In some embodiments, the term “substantially pure” means that the target stereoisomer contains no more than 10%, for example, no more than 5%, such as no more than 1%, by weight of any other stereoisomer(s).
When compounds contain olefin double bonds, unless specified otherwise, such double bonds are meant to include both E and Z geometric isomers.
Some of the compounds may exist with different points of attachment of hydrogen, referred to as tautomers. For example, compounds including carbonyl —CH2C(O)— groups (keto forms) may undergo tautomerism to form hydroxyl —CH═C(OH)— groups (enol forms). Both keto and enol forms, individually as well as mixtures thereof, are also intended to be included where applicable.
It may be advantageous to separate reaction products from one another and/or from starting materials. The desired products of each step or series of steps is separated and/or purified (hereinafter separated) to the desired degree of homogeneity by the techniques common in the art. Typically such separations involve multiphase extraction, crystallization from a solvent or solvent mixture, distillation, sublimation, or chromatography. Chromatography can involve any number of methods including, for example: reverse-phase and normal phase; size exclusion; ion exchange; high, medium and low pressure liquid chromatography methods and apparatus; small scale analytical; simulated moving bed (“SMB”) and preparative thin or thick layer chromatography, as well as techniques of small scale thin layer and flash chromatography. One skilled in the art will apply techniques most likely to achieve the desired separation.
Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher's acid chloride), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereoisomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Enantiomers can also be separated by use of a chiral HPLC column.
A single stereoisomer, e.g., a substantially pure enantiomer, may be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixture using a method such as formation of diastereomers using optically active resolving agents (Eliel, E. and Wilen, S. Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1994; Lochmuller, C. H., et al. “Chromatographic resolution of enantiomers: Selective review.” J. Chromatogr., 113(3) (1975): pp. 283-302). Racemic mixtures of chiral compounds of the invention can be separated and isolated by any suitable method, including: (1) formation of ionic, diastereomeric salts with chiral compounds and separation by fractional crystallization or other methods, (2) formation of diastereomeric compounds with chiral derivatizing reagents, separation of the diastereomers, and conversion to the pure stereoisomers, and (3) separation of the substantially pure or enriched stereoisomers directly under chiral conditions.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable salts” include, but are not limited to salts with inorganic acids, selected, for example, from hydrochlorates, phosphates, diphosphates, hydrobromates, sulfates, sulfinates, and nitrates; as well as salts with organic acids, selected, for example, from malates, maleates, fumarates, tartrates, succinates, citrates, lactates, methanesulfonates, p-toluenesulfonates, 2-hydroxyethylsulfonates, benzoates, salicylates, stearates, alkanoates such as acetate, and salts with HOOC—(CH2)n-COOH, wherein n is selected from 0 to 4. Similarly, examples of pharmaceutically acceptable cations include, but are not limited to, sodium, potassium, calcium, aluminum, lithium, and ammonium.
In addition, if a compound is obtained as an acid addition salt, the free base can be obtained by basifying a solution of the acid salt. Conversely, if the product is a free base, an addition salt, such as a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt, may be produced by dissolving the free base in a suitable organic solvent and treating the solution with an acid, in accordance with conventional procedures for preparing acid addition salts from base compounds. Those skilled in the art will recognize various synthetic methodologies that may be used without undue experimentation to prepare non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts.

Useful pharmaceutical dosage-forms for administration of the subject compounds and stereoisomers thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, hard and soft gelatin capsules, tablets, parenteral injectables, and oral suspensions.
The dosage administered will be dependent on factors, such as the age, health and weight of the recipient, the extent of disease, type of concurrent treatment, if any, frequency of treatment, and the nature of the effect desired. In general, a daily dosage of the active ingredient can vary, for example, from 0.1 to 2000 milligrams per day. For example, 10-500 milligrams once or multiple times per day may be effective to obtain the desired results.
In some embodiments, a large number of unit capsules can be prepared by filling standard two-piece hard gelatin capsules each with, for example, 100 milligrams of the subject compound and stereoisomers thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof disclosed herein in powder, 150 milligrams of lactose, 50 milligrams of cellulose, and 6 milligrams magnesium stearate.

The same dosage forms can generally be used when the compound, stereoisomers thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are administered stepwise or in conjunction with at least one other therapeutic agent. When drugs are administered in physical combination, the dosage form and administration route should be selected depending on the compatibility of the combined drugs. Thus the term coadministration is understood to include the administration of at least two agents concomitantly or sequentially, or alternatively as a fixed dose combination of the at least two active components.
The compounds, stereoisomers thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof disclosed herein can be administered as the sole active ingredient or in combination with at least one second active ingredient.

Suitable excipients or carriers and methods for preparing administrable compositions are known or apparent to those skilled in the art and are described in more detail in such publications as Remington's Pharmaceutical Science, Mack Publishing Co, N.J. (1991). The compositions may also be in the form of controlled release or sustained release compositions as known in the art. For many applications the subject compounds are administered for morning/daytime dosing, with off period at night.
The subject compounds may be used per se, or in the form of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, such as hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, acetates, sulfates, citrates, carbonates, trifluoroacetates and the like. When compounds contain relatively acidic functionalities, salts can be obtained by addition of the desired base, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, or magnesium salts, or the like. When compounds contain relatively basic functionalities, salts can be obtained by addition of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids like hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, carbonic, monohydrogencarbonic, phosphoric, monohydrogenphosphoric, dihydrogenphosphoric, sulfuric, monohydrogensulfuric, hydriodic, or phosphorous acids and the like, as well as the salts derived from relatively nontoxic organic acids like acetic, propionic, isobutyric, maleic, malonic, benzoic, succinic, suberic, fumaric, lactic, mandelic, phthalic, benzenesulfonic, p-tolylsulfonic, citric, tartaric, methanesulfonic, and the like. Also included are salts of amino acids such as arginate and the like, and salts of organic acids like glucuronic or galacturonic acids and the like (see, for example, Berge et al, “Pharmaceutical Salts”, Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, 66, 1-19).
The neutral forms of the compounds may be 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 this invention.
In addition to salt forms, this invention provides compounds which are in a prodrug form. Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are those compounds that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compounds of the present invention. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compounds of the present invention by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to the compounds of the present invention when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be more bioavailable by oral administration than the parent drug. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmacological compositions over the parent drug. A wide variety of prodrug derivatives are known in the art, such as those that rely on hydrolytic cleavage or oxidative activation of the prodrug. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug would be a compound of the present invention which is administered as an ester (the “prodrug”), but then is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity.
Certain compounds of the invention can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention. Certain compounds of the invention may exist in multiple crystalline or amorphous forms. In general, all physical forms are equivalent for the uses contemplated by the present invention and are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
Some of the subject compounds possess asymmetric carbon atoms (optical centers) or double bonds; the racemates, diastereomers, geometric isomers and individual isomers are all intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
The compounds of the invention may also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or carbon-14 (14C). All isotopic variations of the compounds of the invention, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention.
The compounds are generally administered in a “therapeutically effective amount”, i.e. the amount of the subject compound that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought by the researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician. The term “therapeutically effective amount” includes that amount of a compound that, when administered, is sufficient to prevent development of, or alleviate to some extent, one or more of the symptoms of the condition or disorder being treated. The therapeutically effective amount will vary depending on the compound, the disease and its severity and the age, weight, etc., of the mammal to be treated.
The contacting is generally effected by administering to the subject an effective amount of one or more compounds having the general formula I (supra), including the various embodiments described above. Generally administration is adjusted to achieve a therapeutic dosage of about 0.1 to 50, preferably 0.5 to 10, more preferably 1 to 10 mg/kg, though optimal dosages are compound specific, and generally empirically determined for each compound.
The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient. Typical unit dosage forms include prefilled, premeasured ampules or syringes of the liquid compositions or pills, tablets, capsules, lozenges or the like in the case of solid compositions. In such compositions, the mimetic is usually a minor component (from about 0.1 to about 50% by weight or preferably from about 1 to about 40% by weight) with the remainder being various vehicles or carriers and processing aids helpful for forming the desired dosing form. Unit dosage formulations are preferably about of 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, or 1,000 mg per unit. In a particular embodiment, unit dosage forms are packaged in a multipack adapted for sequential use, such as blisterpack comprising sheets of at least 6, 9 or 12 unit dosage forms.
The subject compositions may also be coformulated and/or coadministered with a different compound which also promotes wakefulness, anti-obesity, and/or recovery from general anesthesia or jet lag. Example of co-formulatable drugs include diet pills such as Orlistat (Xenical); narcolepsy drugs such as methylphenidate, racemic amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, and methamphetamine, or modafini1; stimulants such as caffeine; etc. In one embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition comprises one or more compounds of Formula (I) to (VIII) or Formula (A) to (D) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. In one embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition comprises one or more compounds of Table I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.
Methods of the Invention
As with the field of modulation of sleep patterns, the molecular basis of the regulation of energy balance and feeding patterns is beginning to be better understood. The discovery of hypocretins (orexins) and the hypocretin receptors has facilitated the unraveling of the regulatory pathways involved in eating habits. Initially, the finding that preprohypocretin RNA molecules and hypocretin-immunoreactive cell bodies were discretely localized to a subregion of the dorsolateral hypothalamus and a hypothesized colocalization of hypocretins with melanin concentrating hormone (MCH), a potent orexigeneic peptide, suggested a possible role of this system in the control of feeding (De Lecea et al., 1998). Furthermore, centrally administered hypocretin-1 and -2 stimulate appetite in rodents, and preprohypocretin mRNA is upregulated by fasting (Sakurai et al., 1998). However, more recent experiments suggest a more complex picture. First, the suggested initial colocalization with MCH was not substantiated by further studies (Broberger et al. (1998) J. Comp. Neurol. 402, 460-474). Second, there is controversy regarding the magnitude of the effect of hypocretins on food consumption in rodents (Lubkin et al. (1998) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 253, 241-245; Edwards et al. (1999) J. Endocrinol. 160, R7-R12; Ida (1999) Brain Res. 821, 526-529; Moriguchi et al. (1999) Neurosci. Lett. 264, 101-104; Sweet (1999) Brain Res. 821, 535-538). For example, while hypocretins stimulate short-term food intake, these peptides do not alter 24 hour total food consumption (Ida et al (1999), supra). Some authors have also suggested that hypocretins exert a shift in the diurnal pattern of food intake. The effect on energy metabolism seems to be more pronounced than that on feeding behavior (Lubkin et al. (1998), supra) and differs with the circadian time of administration (Ida et al, (1999), supra). Recent studies suggest complex interactions between hypocretins, MCH-containing neurons, neuropeptide Y, agouti gene-related protein systems and leptins in the control of feeding and energy balance (Broberger et al. (1998), supra; Beck et al. (1999) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 258, 119-122; Horvath et al. (1999). J. Neurosci. 19, 1072-1087; Kalra et al. (1999) Endocrine Rev. 20, 68-100; Marsh et al. (1999) Nature Genet. 21, 119-122; Moriguchi et al., supra; Yamamoto et al. (1999) Mol. Brain Res. 65, 14-22).
This invention describes several chemically distinct classes of non-peptidic, small-molecule agonists for the type-2 orexin receptors (OX2R). Orexins are hypothalamic neuropeptides that are importantly implicated in sleep/wake control and body weight homeostasis. Orexin producing neurons are exclusively localized in the lateral hypothalamic area. The peptides act on two G protein-coupled receptors termed OX1R and OX2R. It has been demonstrated that deficiency in orexin/OX2R signaling causes the sleep disorder narcolepsy in humans, mice and dogs. Narcolepsy is a socially debilitating disorder characterized by an inability to properly maintain wakefulness (excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep attacks), and a pathological intrusion of signs of REM sleep into wakefulness (cataplexy, hipnagorgic hallucination, sleep paralysis, etc.).
A transgenic mouse strain that has been engineered to mimic the neurochemical situation in human narcoleptics, i.e., with a postnatal loss of orexin neurons, exhibits all symptoms of narcolepsy/cataplexy. It has been further demonstrated that these mice can then be effectively treated for narcolepsy by providing exogenous orexin either genetically (via a transgene) or pharmacologically (via intracerebroventricular injections). Hence, orexin replacement therapy is expected to provide similarly effectively treat human narcolepsy patients.
Orexins themselves are peptides (thus orally inactive) and blood-brain barrier impermeable; they cannot be used as an orally active therapeutic agent. However, if we can develop an orally active, blood-brain barrier permeable, small-molecule OX2R agonist, such compound will be useful as a drug for the treatment of narcolepsy.
The practical uses for OX2R agonists go beyond the treatment of narcolepsy. Since orexin has been established as an endogenous neurotransmitter to maintain proper wakefulness, orexin receptor agonists effect a highly “natural” form of wakefulness. Therefore, such agonists may be used to treat medical conditions accompanying narcolepsy, daytime sleepiness, such as nighttime insomnia, and depression with hypersomnia.
It has also been shown that orexin/OX2R signaling acts as a net-negative regulator of body weight homeostasis. Thus, deficiencies in OX2R signaling can cause (besides narcolepsy) obesity in mice and humans, whereas transgenic OX2R over-activation renders mice resistant to high fat diet-induced obesity. Furthermore, intracerebroventricular infusion of a previously known peptidic OX2R-selective agonist similarly prevents high fat diet-induced obesity in mice. Therefore, orally active OX2R agonists also provide treatments of obesity and associated metabolic syndrome.
Orexin deficiency causes delayed recovery from gas anesthesia in mice, which effect can be antagonized by orexin and orexin agonists. See, Kelz et al. An essential role for orexins in emergence from general anesthesia. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 105:1309-1314 (2008). Hence, the subject orexin agonists may also be used to facilitate or expedite recovery from general anesthesia.
The active OX2R agonists provided in this invention also provide lead compounds for the development of alternative and more potent forms with desirable pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, nontoxicity, and other properties. Such derivative compounds may be used, inter alia and after proper clinical trials, as therapeutic agents for treating (1) narcolepsy; (2) other neurologic conditions accompanying daytime sleepiness, such as night time insomnia and depression with hypersomnia, sleep apnea, jet lag, etc.; (3) obesity and metabolic syndrome; and (4) undesirable extension and lingering effects of general anesthesia.

General Synthesis
The compound of the present disclosure can be prepared following protocols described in US 2014/0051700 and/or U.S. Pat. No. 8,871,794, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties and common organic chemistry synthesis protocols known to one skilled in the art. Also see
In general, the subject compounds may be prepared by a stepwise alkylation of 2-aminobenzimidazole (Scheme 1) or a ring-substituted 2-aminobenzimidazole where R6 is other than hydrogen (Scheme 2).°
In the first alkylation, the sodium salt of 2-aminobenzimidazole reacts smoothly with alkyl and benzyl chlorides (Joseph, J Med Chem 28: 601 (1963); Ogura et al, J Med Chem 15: 923-926 (1972)). The second alkylation proceeds under conditions of high concentration in refluxing toluene, reacting exclusively at the 3-position of the imidazole moiety (Rehse, et al., Arch Pharm (Weinheirn) 328: 77-80, 1995). The precipitation of the product as the hydrobromide salt prohibits additional alkylation and simplifies the purification.
Alternatively, as described below with respect to the preparation of a combinatorial library, the compounds can be prepared by a process in which a resin-bound 4-fluoro-3-nitroarene is reacted with an amine having the formula W2L2-NH2, reduced with tin (II) chloride (Bellamy, et al., Tetrahedron Lett 25: 839-842, 1984), cyclized with cyanogen bromide (U.S. Pat. No. 4,002,623), and reacted with a mono-substituted epoxide.
If R6 is a group having the formula —CONR′R″ that group is first introduced by amide coupling with the fluoronitrobenzoic acid.
General Procedure (A) to Convert Alcohols to Bromides Through Appel Reaction.
To a flame-dried flask were added an arylmethyl alcohol (1.0 eq.), anhydrous DCM (1.94 mL/mmol) and CBr4 (1.1 eq.), followed by addition of PPh3 (1.1 eq.) in portions under argon. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 40 min and was then filtered through a short pad of celite. Upon the evaporation of the solvent, the residue was purified through flash chromatography on silica gel (9:1 or 2:1 hexane/EtOAc) to provide the desired product.
General Procedure (B) for the Synthesis of Ethyl 2-Amino-3-Arylpropanoates.
To a flame-dried flask containing t-BuOK (1.10 equiv.) and anhydrous DMF (2.5 mL/mmol) was added ethyl 2-((diphenylmethylene)amino)acetate (1.05 eq.) at 0° C. under argon. After 10 min, arylmethyl bromide (1.0 eq.) was added. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 min and was allowed to warm up to 4° C. and stirred at 4° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was then slowly poured into water, extracted with DCM. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to evaporate the DCM solvent. The residue was then treated with a mixture of EtOH/concentrated HCl (25:1 v/v). The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Upon the evaporation of EtOH and most of the DMF, the residue was basified by 2 N K2CO3 solution to pH >10 and extracted with DCM.
