Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates generally to piperazinyl oxoalkyl tetrahydroisoquinolines and related analogues, and to the use of such compounds for treating conditions responsive to histamine H3 receptor modulation. The invention further relates to the use of such compounds as probes for the detection and localization of histamine H3 receptors.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Hormones and neurotransmitters regulate a wide variety of biological functions, often via specific receptor proteins located on the surface of living cells. Many of these receptors carry out intracellular signaling via the activation of coupled guanosine triphosphate-binding proteins (G proteins); such receptors are collectively called G protein-coupled receptors or GPCRs. The important role of GPCRs in the regulation of cell and organ function has attracted attention to these receptors as targets for new pharmaceutical agents.


Histamine is a multifunctional chemical transmitter that signals through specific cell surface GPCRs. To date, four histamine receptor subtypes have been identified: H1, H2, H3 and H4. Histamine H3 receptor is a presynaptic GPCR that is found primarily in the central nervous system, although lower levels are also found in the peripheral nervous system. Genes encoding the H3 receptor have been reported in various organisms, including humans (see Lovenberg et al. (1999) Molecular Pharmacology 55:1101-07), and alternative splicing of this gene appears to result in multiple isoforms. The histamine H3 receptor is an auto- and hetero-receptor whose activation leads to a decreased release of neurotransmitters (including histamine, acetylcholine, norepinephrine and glutamate) from neurons in the brain. Histamine H3 receptor is involved in the regulation of processes such as sleep and wakefulness, feeding and memory.


Antagonists of histamine H3 receptor increase synthesis and release of cerebral histamine and other neurotransmitters, inducing an extended wakefulness, an improvement in cognitive processes, a reduction in food intake and a normalization of vestibular reflexes. Such antagonists are useful, for example, as therapeutics for central nervous system disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, mood and attention alterations including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disorder, memory and learning disorders, cognitive disorders (such as mild cognitive impairment and cognitive deficits in psychiatric pathologies), epilepsy, migraine, and disorders associated with the regulation of sleep and wakefulness, as well as in the treatment and prevention of conditions such as obesity, eating disorders, diabetes, vertigo, motion sickness and allergic rhinitis.


Accordingly, there is a need for new H3 receptor modulators. The present invention fulfills this need, and provides further related advantages.

It will be apparent that each compound provided herein may, but need not, be formulated as a solvate (e.g., hydrate) or non-covalent complex. In addition, the various crystal forms and polymorphs are within the scope of the present invention. Also provided herein are prodrugs of the compounds of the recited Formulas. A “prodrug” is a compound that may not fully satisfy the structural requirements of the compounds provided herein, but is modified in vivo, following administration to a patient, to produce a compound a formula provided herein. For example, a prodrug may be an acylated derivative of a compound as provided herein. Prodrugs include compounds wherein hydroxy, amine or sulfhydryl groups are bonded to any group that, when administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxy, amino, or sulfhydryl group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol and amine functional groups within the compounds provided herein. Prodrugs of the compounds provided herein may be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compounds in such a way that the modifications are cleaved in vivo to yield the parent compounds.


As used herein, the term “alkyl” refers to a straight or branched chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon. Alkyl groups include groups having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms (C1-C8alkyl), from 1 to 6 carbon atoms (C1-C6alkyl) and from 1 to 4 carbon atoms (C1-C4alkyl), such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, 2-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, 2-hexyl, 3-hexyl and 3-methylpentyl. “C0-C4alkyl” refers to a single covalent bond (C0) or an alkylene group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.


“Alkylene” refers to a divalent alkyl group. C1-C4alkylene is an alkylene group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. C0-C4alkylene is a single covalent bond or an alkylene group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

Cycloalkyl groups do not comprise an aromatic ring or a heterocyclic ring. A “(C3-C8cycloalkyl)C0-C2alkyl” is a C3-C8cycloalkyl group linked via a single covalent bond or a methylene or ethylene group.


By “alkoxy,” as used herein, is meant an alkyl group attached via an oxygen bridge. Alkoxy groups include C1-C8alkoxy and C1-C4alkoxy groups, which have from 1 to 8 or 1 to 4 carbon atoms, respectively.

The term “alkanoyl” refers to an acyl group (e.g., —C═O)alkyl), in which carbon atoms are in a linear or branched alkyl arrangement and where attachment is through the carbon of the carbonyl group. Alkanoyl groups have the indicated number of carbon atoms, with the carbonyl carbon being included in the numbered carbon atoms. For example a C2alkanoyl group is an acetyl group having the formula —(C═O)CH3; “C1alkanoyl” refers to —(C═O)H. Alkanoyl groups include, for example, C1-C8alkanoyl, C1-C6alkanoyl and C1-C4alkanoyl groups, which have from 1 to 8, from 1 to 6 or from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, respectively.

Alkoxycarbonyl groups include C1-C8, C1-C6 and C1-C4alkoxycarbonyl groups, which have from 1 to 8, 6 or 4 carbon atoms, respectively, in the alkyl portion of the group (i.e., the carbon of the keto bridge is not included in the indicated number of carbon atoms). “C1alkoxycarbonyl” refers to —C(═O)—OCH3; C3alkoxycarbonyl indicates —C(═O)—O—(CH2)2CH3 or —C(═O)—O—(CH)(CH3)2.


“Alkylsulfonyl” refers to groups of the formula —(SO2)-alkyl, in which the sulfur atom is the point of attachment. Alkylsulfonyl groups include, for example, C1-C6alkylsulfonyl and C1-C4alkylsulfonyl groups, which have from 1 to 6 or from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, respectively.


“Aminosulfonyl” refers to groups of the formula —(SO2)NH2, in which the sulfur atom is the point of attachment. The term “mono- or di-(C1-C6alkyl)aminosulfonyl” refers to groups that satisfy the formula —(SO2)NR2, in which the sulfur atom is the point of attachment, and in which one R is C1-C6alkyl and the other R is hydrogen or an independently chosen C1-C6alkyl.


The term “aminocarbonyl” refers to an amide group (i.e., —(C═O)NH2). The term “mono- or di-(C1-C6alkyl)aminocarbonyl” refers to groups of the formula —(C═O)—N(R)2, in which the carbonyl is the point of attachment, one R is C1-C6alkyl and the other R is hydrogen or an independently chosen C1-C6alkyl.


“Alkylamino” refers to a secondary or tertiary amine that has the general structure —NH-alkyl or —N(alkyl)(alkyl), wherein each alkyl is selected independently from alkyl, cycloalkyl and (cycloalkyl)alkyl groups. Such groups include, for example, mono- and di-(C1-C8alkyl)amino groups, in which each C1-C8alkyl may be the same or different, as well as mono- and di-(C1-C6alkyl)amino groups and mono- and di-(C1-C4alkyl)amino groups.


“Alkylaminoalkyl” refers to an alkylamino group linked via an alkylene group (i.e., a group having the general structure -alkylene-NH-alkyl or -alkylene-N(alkyl)(alkyl)) in which each alkyl is selected independently from alkyl, cycloalkyl and (cycloalkyl)alkyl groups. Alkylaminoalkyl groups include, for example, mono- and di-(C1-C8alkyl)aminoC1-C4alkyl.

It will be apparent that the definition of “alkyl” as used in the terms “alkylamino” and “alkylaminoalkyl” differs from the definition of “alkyl” used for all other alkyl-containing groups, in the inclusion of cycloalkyl and (cycloalkyl)alkyl groups (e.g., (C3-C7cycloalkyl)C0-C6alkyl).


The term “halogen” refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine.


A “haloalkyl” is an alkyl group that is substituted with 1 or more halogen atoms (e.g., “C1-C4haloalkyl” groups have from 1 to 4 carbon atoms). Examples of haloalkyl groups include, but are not limited to, mono-, di- or tri-fluoromethyl; mono-, di- or tri-chloromethyl; mono-, di-, tri-, tetra- or penta-fluoroethyl; mono-, di-, tri-, tetra- or penta-chloroethyl; and 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoro-1-trifluoromethyl-ethyl. Typical haloalkyl groups are trifluoromethyl and difluoromethyl. The term “haloalkoxy” refers to a haloalkyl group as defined above attached via an oxygen bridge. “C1-C4haloalkoxy” groups have 1 to 4 carbon atoms.


A dash (“-”) that is not between two letters or symbols is used to indicate a point of attachment for a substituent. For example, —COOH is attached through the carbon atom.


A “heteroatom,” as used herein, is oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen.


A “carbocycle” or “carbocyclic group” comprises at least one ring formed entirely by carbon-carbon bonds (referred to herein as a carbocyclic ring), and does not contain a heterocycle. Certain representative carbocycles are cycloalkyl as described above. Other carbocycles are aryl (i.e., contain at least one aromatic ring).


A “heterocycle” or “heterocyclic group” has from 1 to 3 fused, pendant or spiro rings, at least one of which is a heterocyclic ring (i.e., one or more ring atoms is a heteroatom independently chosen from O, S and N, with the remaining ring atoms being carbon). Additional rings, if present, may be heterocyclic or carbocyclic. Typically, a heterocyclic ring comprises 1, 2, 3 or 4 heteroatoms; within certain embodiments each heterocyclic ring has 1 or 2 heteroatoms per ring. Each heterocyclic ring generally contains from 4 to 8 ring members (rings having from 4 or 5 to 7 ring members are recited in certain embodiments) and heterocycles comprising fused, pendant or spiro rings typically contain from 9 to 14 ring members. Certain heterocycles comprise a sulfur atom as a ring member; in certain embodiments, the sulfur atom is oxidized to SO or SO2. Heterocycles may be optionally substituted with a variety of substituents, as indicated. Unless otherwise specified, a heterocycle may be a heterocycloalkyl group (i.e., each ring is saturated or partially saturated) or a heteroaryl group (i.e., at least one ring within the group is aromatic), and may be linked via any ring atom, provided that a stable compound results. A nitrogen-containing (or N-containing) heterocycle comprises at least one nitrogen ring atom. Additional ring heteroatoms may, but need not, be present. A nitrogen-linked (or N-linked) heterocycle is linked by a single covalent bond at one ring nitrogen atom. Additional heteroatoms may, but need not, be present.


Certain heterocyclic groups include, for example, acridinyl, azepanyl, azocinyl, benzimidazolyl, benzimidazolinyl, benzisothiazolyl, benzisoxazolyl, benzofuranyl, benzothiofuranyl, benzothiophenyl, benzoxazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzotriazolylcarbazolyl, benztetrazolyl, NH-carbazolyl, carbolinyl, chromanyl, chromenyl, cinnolinyl, decahydroquinolinyl, dihydrofuro[2,3-b]tetrahydrofuran, dihydroisoquinolinyl, dihydrotetrahydrofuranyl, 1,4-dioxa-8-aza-spiro[4,5]dec-8-yl, dithiazinyl, furanyl, furazanyl, imidazolinyl, imidazolidinyl, imidazolyl, indazolyl, indolenyl, indolinyl, indolizinyl, indolyl, isobenzofuranyl, isochromanyl, isoindazolyl, isoindolinyl, isoindolyl, isothiazolyl, isoxazolyl, isoquinolinyl, morpholinyl, naphthyridinyl, octahydroisoquinolinyl, oxadiazolyl, oxazolidinyl, oxazolyl, phenanthridinyl, phenanthrolinyl, phenazinyl, phenothiazinyl, phenoxathiinyl, phenoxazinyl, phthalazinyl, piperazinyl, piperidinyl, piperidonyl, pteridinyl, purinyl, pyranyl, pyrazinyl, pyrazolidinyl, pyrazolinyl, pyrazolyl, pyridazinyl, pyridoimidazolyl, pyridooxazolyl, pyridothiazolyl, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, pyrrolidinyl, pyrrolidonyl, pyrrolinyl, pyrrolyl, quinazolinyl, quinolinyl, quinoxalinyl, quinuclidinyl, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, tetrahydroquinolinyl, tetrazolyl, thiadiazinyl, thiadiazolyl, thianthrenyl, thiazolyl, thienothiazolyl, thienooxazolyl, thienoimidazolyl, thienyl, thiophenyl, thiomorpholinyl and variants thereof in which the sulfur atom is oxidized, triazinyl, xanthenyl and any of the foregoing that are substituted with from 1 to 4 substituents as described above.


Certain heterocycles are 5- to 12-membered heteroaryl groups, or 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl rings (e.g., pyridyl, pyrimidyl and pyridazinyl), each of which may be substituted as indicated. Other heterocycles are 9- or 10-membered heteroaryl groups, which may be substituted as indicated, and comprise two fused rings, at least one of which comprises a heteroatom and at least one of which is aromatic. Representative such groups include, for example, quinolinyl, quinazolinyl, isoquinolinyl, pyridoimidazolyl and pyridopyrazinyl. It will be apparent that the aromatic ring and the heterocycle may, but need not, be the same; for example, the term “heteroaryl” encompasses groups that comprise a phenyl ring and a heterocycloalkyl ring, such as 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxinyl and 1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl. Other heterocycles are 4- to 8-membered heterocycloalkyl groups, which are saturated or partially saturate heterocyclic rings as described above, containing 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 ring members.


A “substituent,” as used herein, refers to a molecular moiety that is covalently bonded to an atom within a molecule of interest. For example, a “ring substituent” may be a moiety such as a halogen, alkyl group, haloalkyl group or other group discussed herein that is covalently bonded to an atom (preferably a carbon or nitrogen atom) that is a ring member. The term “substitution” refers to replacing a hydrogen atom in a molecular structure with a substituent as described above, such that the valence on the designated atom is not exceeded, and such that a chemically stable compound (i.e., a compound that can be isolated, characterized, and tested for biological activity) results from the substitution.


Groups that are “optionally substituted” are unsubstituted or substituted by other than hydrogen at one or more available positions, typically 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 positions, by one or more suitable groups (which may be the same or different). Optional substitution is also indicated by the phrase “substituted with from 0 to X substituents,” where X is the maximum number of permissible substituents. Certain optionally substituted groups are substituted with from 0 to 2, 3 or 4 independently selected substituents (i.e., are unsubstituted or substituted with up to the recited maximum number of substituents). Other optionally substituted groups are substituted with at least one substituent (e.g., substituted with from 1 to 2, 3 or 4 independently selected substituents).


Unless otherwise specified, the term “H3 receptor” is used herein to refer to any histamine H3 subtype receptor, including human H3 receptor (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,136,559), H3 receptor found in other mammals and chimeric receptors retaining H3 function, including the chimeric H3 receptor described as SEQ ID NO:8 in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/355,711, which published as US 2006/0188960.


A “H3 receptor modulator” is a compound that modulates H3 receptor GTP binding. A H3 receptor modulator may be a H3 receptor agonist or antagonist. A H3 receptor modulator binds with “high affinity” if the Ki at H3 receptor is less than 4 micromolar, preferably less than 1 micromolar, 500 nanomolar, 100 nanomolar, 50 nanomolar or 10 nanomolar. Representative assays for evaluating an effect on H3 receptor GTP binding are provided in Examples 7 and 8, herein.


Unless otherwise specified, the terms “IC50” and “EC50,” as used herein, refer to values obtained using the assay as described in Example 7.


A H3 receptor modulator is considered an “antagonist” if it detectably inhibits H3 receptor agonist-stimulated GTP binding (using, for example, the representative assay provided in Example 7); in general, such an antagonist inhibits such GTP binding with a IC50 value of less than 4 micromolar, preferably less than 1 micromolar, 500 nanomolar, 100 nanomolar, 50 nanomolar or 10 nanomolar. H3 receptor antagonists include neutral antagonists and inverse agonists.


An “inverse agonist” of H3 receptor is a compound that reduces the GTP binding activity of H3 receptor below its basal activity level in the absence of added agonist. Inverse agonists of H3 receptor may also inhibit the activity in the presence of agonist. The basal activity of H3 receptor, as well as the reduction in H3 receptor GTP binding activity due to the presence of H3 receptor antagonist, may be determined using an assay provided in Example 7 or Example 8.


A “neutral antagonist” of H3 receptor is a compound that inhibits the activity of H3 receptor agonist, but does not significantly change the basal activity of the receptor (i.e., within the assay of Example 7 or Example 8 performed in the absence of agonist, H3 receptor activity is reduced by no more than 10%, preferably by no more than 5%, and more preferably by no more than 2%; most preferably, there is no detectable reduction in activity). The basal activity is the level of GTP binding observed in the assay in the absence of added histamine or any other agonist, and in the further absence of any test compound. Neutral antagonists of H3 receptor may, but need not, inhibit the binding of agonist to H3 receptor.


As used herein a “H3 receptor agonist” is a compound that elevates the activity of the receptor above the basal activity level of the receptor. H3 receptor agonist activity may be identified using the representative assays provided in Example 7 and Example 8. In general, such an agonist has an EC50 value of less than 4 micromolar, preferably less than 1 micromolar, 500 nanomolar, 100 nanomolar, 50 nanomolar or 10 nanomolar within the assay provided in Example 7. If the GTP binding activity brought about by a test compound attains the same level to that of histamine, it is defined as a full agonist. If the level of GTP binding activity brought about by a test compound is above baseline but below the level attained by histamine, it is defined as a partial agonist. Preferred antagonist compounds provided herein do not elevate GTP binding activity under such conditions more than 10% above baseline, preferably not more than 5% above baseline, and most preferably not more than 2% above baseline.


A “therapeutically effective amount” (or dose) is an amount that, upon administration to a patient, results in a discernible patient benefit (e.g., provides detectable relief from a condition being treated). Such relief may be detected using any appropriate criteria, including alleviation of one or more symptoms characteristic of the condition. A therapeutically effective amount or dose generally results in a concentration of compound in a body fluid (such as blood, plasma, serum, CSF, synovial fluid, lymph, cellular interstitial fluid, tears or urine) that is sufficient to alter H3 receptor GTP binding in vitro.


A “patient” is any individual treated with a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof provided herein. Patients include humans, as well as other animals such as companion animals (e.g., dogs and cats) and livestock. Patients may be experiencing one or more symptoms of a condition responsive to H3 receptor modulation, or may be free of such symptom(s) (e.g., treatment may be prophylactic).

Representative compounds provided herein include, but are not limited to, those specifically described in Examples 1-3. It will be apparent that the specific compounds recited herein are representative only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Further, as noted above, all compounds of the present invention may be present as a free acid or base or as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate (e.g., hydrate).


In certain aspects, compounds provided are H3 receptor modulators, as determined using an assay for H3 receptor GTP binding. References herein to a “histamine-induced H3 receptor GTP binding assay” are intended to refer to either of the in vitro GTP binding assays provided in Examples 7 and 8, which may be performed in the presence or absence of added agonist. Briefly, to assess H3 receptor agonist-stimulated GTP binding, a H3 receptor preparation is incubated with a H3 receptor agonist (e.g., histamine or an analogue thereof such as R-alpha-methyhistamine), labeled (e.g., 35S) GTP and unlabeled test compound. Within the assays provided herein, the H3 receptor used is preferably mammalian H3 receptor (e.g., human or rat H3 receptor, and preferably human H3 receptor), and more preferably a chimeric human H3 receptor such as a receptor having the sequence provided in SEQ ID NO:8 of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/355,711, which published as US 2006/0188960. The H3 receptor may be recombinantly expressed or naturally expressed. The H3 receptor preparation may be, for example, a membrane preparation from cells that recombinantly express H3 receptor. Incubation with a H3 receptor modulator results in a decrease or increase in the amount of label bound to the H3 receptor preparation, relative to the amount of label bound in the absence of the compound.


As noted above, compounds that are H3 receptor antagonists are preferred within certain embodiments. When agonist-contacted cells are contacted with a compound that is a H3 receptor antagonist, the response is preferably reduced by at least 20%, more preferably at least 50% and still more preferably at least 80%, as compared to cells that are contacted with the agonist in the absence of test compound. The IC50 for H3 receptor antagonists provided herein is preferably less than 4 micromolar, less than 1 micromolar, less than 500 nM, less than 100 nM, less than 50 nM or less than 10 nM. In certain embodiments, H3 receptor antagonists provided herein exhibit no detectable agonist activity in the assay of Example 7 at a concentration of compound equal to the IC50. Certain preferred antagonists exhibit no detectable agonist activity in the assay at a concentration of compound that is 100-fold higher than the IC50.


In certain embodiments, preferred H3 receptor modulators provided herein are non-sedating. In other words, a dose of H3 receptor modulator that is twice the minimum therapeutically effective dose causes only transient (i.e., lasting for no more than ½ the time that the therapeutic effect lasts) or preferably no statistically significant sedation in an animal model assay of sedation (using the method described by Fitzgerald et al. (1988) Toxicology 49(2-3):433-9). Preferably, a dose that is any of 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or 100 times the minimum therapeutically effective dose does not produce statistically significant sedation.


If desired, H3 receptor modulators provided herein may be evaluated for certain pharmacological properties including, but not limited to, oral bioavailability (preferred compounds are orally bioavailable to an extent allowing for therapeutically effective concentrations of the compound to be achieved at oral doses of less than 140 mg/kg, preferably less than 50 mg/kg, more preferably less than 30 mg/kg, even more preferably less than 10 mg/kg, and still more preferably less than 1 mg/kg), toxicity (a preferred H3 receptor modulator is nontoxic when a therapeutically effective amount is administered to a subject), side effects (a preferred H3 receptor modulator produces side effects comparable to placebo when a therapeutically effective amount of the compound is administered to a subject), serum protein binding and in vitro and in vivo half-life (a preferred H3 receptor modulator exhibits an in vivo half-life allowing for Q.I.D. dosing, preferably T.I.D. dosing, more preferably B.I.D. dosing, and most preferably once-a-day dosing). In addition, differential penetration of the blood brain barrier may be desirable for certain H3 receptor modulators. Routine assays that are well known in the art may be used to assess these properties, and identify superior compounds for a particular use. For example, assays used to predict bioavailability include transport across human intestinal cell monolayers, including Caco-2 cell monolayers. Penetration of the blood brain barrier of a compound in humans may be predicted from the brain levels of the compound in laboratory animals given the compound (e.g., intravenously). Serum protein binding may be predicted from albumin binding assays or whole serum binding assays. In vitro half-lives of compounds may be predicted from assays of microsomal half-life as described within Example 8 of PCT Publication Number WO 06/089076.


As noted above, preferred compounds provided herein are nontoxic. In general, the term “nontoxic” as used herein shall be understood in a relative sense and is intended to refer to any substance that has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for administration to mammals (preferably humans) or, in keeping with established criteria, is susceptible to approval by the FDA for administration to mammals (preferably humans). In addition, a highly preferred nontoxic compound generally satisfies one or more of the following criteria: (1) does not substantially inhibit cellular ATP production; (2) does not significantly prolong heart QT intervals; (3) does not cause substantial liver enlargement, or (4) does not cause substantial release of liver enzymes.


As used herein, a compound that does not substantially inhibit cellular ATP production is a compound that satisfies the criteria set forth in Example 9 of PCT Publication Number WO 06/089076. In other words, cells treated as described in Example 9 therein with 100 μM of such a compound exhibit ATP levels that are at least 50% of the ATP levels detected in untreated cells. In more highly preferred embodiments, such cells exhibit ATP levels that are at least 80% of the ATP levels detected in untreated cells.


A compound that does not significantly prolong heart QT intervals is a compound that does not result in a statistically significant prolongation of heart QT intervals (as determined by electrocardiography) in guinea pigs, minipigs or dogs upon administration of a dose that yields a serum concentration equal to the EC50 or IC50 for the compound. In certain preferred embodiments, a dose of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 40 or 50 mg/kg administered parenterally or orally does not result in a statistically significant prolongation of heart QT intervals. By “statistically significant” is meant results varying from control at the p<0.1 level or more preferably at the p<0.05 level of significance as measured using a standard parametric assay of statistical significance such as a student's T test.


A compound does not cause substantial liver enlargement if daily treatment of laboratory rodents (e.g., mice or rats) for 5-10 days with a dose that yields a serum concentration equal to the EC50 or IC50 for the compound results in an increase in liver to body weight ratio that is no more than 100% over matched controls. In more highly preferred embodiments, such doses do not cause liver enlargement of more than 75% or 50% over matched controls. If non-rodent mammals (e.g., dogs) are used, such doses should not result in an increase of liver to body weight ratio of more than 50%, preferably not more than 25%, and more preferably not more than 10% over matched untreated controls. Preferred doses within such assays include 0.01, 0.05. 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 40 or 50 mg/kg administered parenterally or orally.


Similarly, a compound does not promote substantial release of liver enzymes if administration of twice the minimum dose that yields a serum concentration equal to the EC50 or IC50 for the compound does not elevate serum levels of ALT, LDH or AST in laboratory rodents by more than 100% over matched mock-treated controls. In more highly preferred embodiments, such doses do not elevate such serum levels of ALT, LDH or AST by more than 75% or 50% over matched controls. Alternatively, a H3 receptor modulator does not promote substantial release of liver enzymes if, in an in vitro hepatocyte assay, concentrations (in culture media or other such solutions that are contacted and incubated with hepatocytes in vitro) that are equal to the EC50 or IC50 for the compound do not cause detectable release of any such liver enzymes into culture medium above baseline levels seen in media from matched mock-treated control cells. In more highly preferred embodiments, there is no detectable release of any of such liver enzymes into culture medium above baseline levels when such compound concentrations are five-fold, and preferably ten-fold the EC50 or IC50 for the compound.


In other embodiments, certain preferred compounds do not substantially inhibit or induce microsomal cytochrome P450 enzyme activities, such as CYP1A2 activity, CYP2A6 activity, CYP2C9 activity, CYP2C19 activity, CYP2D6 activity, CYP2E1 activity or CYP3A4 activity at a concentration equal to the EC50 or IC50 for the compound.


Certain preferred compounds are not clastogenic (e.g., as determined using a mouse erythrocyte precursor cell micronucleus assay, an Ames micronucleus assay, a spiral micronucleus assay or the like) at a concentration equal the EC50 or IC50 for the compound. In other embodiments, certain preferred H3 receptor modulators do not induce sister chromatid exchange (e.g., in Chinese hamster ovary cells) at such concentrations.


For detection purposes, as discussed in more detail below, H3 receptor modulators provided herein may be isotopically-labeled or radiolabeled. For example, compounds may have one or more atoms replaced by an atom of the same element having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be present in the compounds provided herein include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine, such as 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18O, 17O, 31P, 32P, 35S, 18F and 36Cl. In addition, substitution with heavy isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., 2H) can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and, hence, may be preferred in some circumstances.

Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredients in a vegetable oil (e.g., arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil) or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent such as beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents and/or flavoring agents may be added to provide palatable oral preparations. Such suspensions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.


Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, a suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, such as sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present.


Pharmaceutical compositions may also be formulated as oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil (e.g., olive oil or arachis oil), a mineral oil (e.g., liquid paraffin) or a mixture thereof. Suitable emulsifying agents include naturally-occurring gums (e.g., gum acacia or gum tragacanth), naturally-occurring phosphatides (e.g., soy bean lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol), anhydrides (e.g., sorbitan monoleate) and condensation products of partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol with ethylene oxide (e.g., polyoxyethylene sorbitan monoleate). An emulsion may also comprise one or more sweetening and/or flavoring agents.


Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, such as glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such formulations may also comprise one or more demulcents, preservatives, flavoring agents and/or coloring agents.


A pharmaceutical composition may be prepared as a sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspension. The active ingredient(s), depending on the vehicle and concentration used, can either be suspended or dissolved in the vehicle. Such a composition may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing, wetting agents and/or suspending agents such as those mentioned above. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, 1,3-butanediol, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils may be employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectable compositions, and adjuvants such as local anesthetics, preservatives and/or buffering agents can be dissolved in the vehicle.


Pharmaceutical compositions may also be prepared in the form of suppositories (e.g., for rectal administration). Such compositions can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient that is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the body temperature and will therefore melt in the body to release the drug. Suitable excipients include, for example, cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.


Compositions for inhalation typically can be provided in the form of a solution, suspension or emulsion that can be administered as a dry powder or in the form of an aerosol using a conventional propellant (e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane or trichlorofluoromethane).


Pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated for release at a pre-determined rate. Instantaneous release may be achieved, for example, via sublingual administration (i.e., administration by mouth in such a way that the active ingredient(s) are rapidly absorbed via the blood vessels under the tongue rather than via the digestive tract). Controlled release formulations (i.e., formulations such as a capsule, tablet or coated tablet that slows and/or delays release of active ingredient(s) following administration) may be administered by, for example, oral, rectal or subcutaneous implantation, or by implantation at a target site. In general, a controlled release formulation comprises a matrix and/or coating that delays disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract (or implantation site) and thereby provides a delayed action or a sustained action over a longer period. One type of controlled-release formulation is a sustained-release formulation, in which at least one active ingredient is continuously released over a period of time at a constant rate. Preferably, the therapeutic agent is released at such a rate that blood (e.g., plasma) concentrations are maintained within the therapeutic range, but below toxic levels, over a period of time that is at least 4 hours, preferably at least 8 hours, and more preferably at least 12 hours. Such formulations may generally be prepared using well known technology and administered by, for example, oral, rectal or subcutaneous implantation, or by implantation at the desired target site. Carriers for use within such formulations are biocompatible, and may also be biodegradable; preferably the formulation provides a relatively constant level of H3 receptor modulator release. The amount of H3 receptor modulator contained within a sustained release formulation depends upon, for example, the site of implantation, the rate and expected duration of release and the nature of the condition to be treated or prevented.


Controlled release may be achieved by combining the active ingredient(s) with a matrix material that itself alters release rate and/or through the use of a controlled-release coating. The release rate can be varied using methods well known in the art, including (a) varying the thickness or composition of coating, (b) altering the amount or manner of addition of plasticizer in a coating, (c) including additional ingredients, such as release-modifying agents, (d) altering the composition, particle size or particle shape of the matrix, and (e) providing one or more passageways through the coating. The amount of H3 receptor modulator contained within a sustained release formulation depends upon, for example, the method of administration (e.g., the site of implantation), the rate and expected duration of release and the nature of the condition to be treated or prevented.


The matrix material, which itself may or may not serve a controlled-release function, is generally any material that supports the active ingredient(s). For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monosterate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. Active ingredient(s) may be combined with matrix material prior to formation of the dosage form (e.g., a tablet). Alternatively, or in addition, active ingredient(s) may be coated on the surface of a particle, granule, sphere, microsphere, bead or pellet that comprises the matrix material. Such coating may be achieved by conventional means, such as by dissolving the active ingredient(s) in water or other suitable solvent and spraying. Optionally, additional ingredients are added prior to coating (e.g., to assist binding of the active ingredient(s) to the matrix material or to color the solution). The matrix may then be coated with a barrier agent prior to application of controlled-release coating. Multiple coated matrix units may, if desired, be encapsulated to generate the final dosage form.


In certain embodiments, a controlled release is achieved through the use of a controlled release coating (i.e., a coating that permits release of active ingredient(s) at a controlled rate in aqueous medium). The controlled release coating should be a strong, continuous film that is smooth, capable of supporting pigments and other additives, non-toxic, inert and tack-free. Coatings that regulate release of the H3 receptor modulator include pH-independent coatings, pH-dependent coatings (which may be used to release H3 receptor modulator in the stomach) and enteric coatings (which allow the formulation to pass intact through the stomach and into the small intestine, where the coating dissolves and the contents are absorbed by the body). It will be apparent that multiple coatings may be employed (e.g., to allow release of a portion of the dose in the stomach and a portion further along the gastrointestinal tract). For example, a portion of active ingredient(s) may be coated over an enteric coating, and thereby released in the stomach, while the remainder of active ingredient(s) in the matrix core is protected by the enteric coating and released further down the GI tract. pH dependent coatings include, for example, shellac, cellulose acetate phthalate, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate, methacrylic acid ester copolymers and zein.


In certain embodiments, the coating is a hydrophobic material, preferably used in an amount effective to slow the hydration of the gelling agent following administration. Suitable hydrophobic materials include alkyl celluloses (e.g., ethylcellulose or carboxymethylcellulose), cellulose ethers, cellulose esters, acrylic polymers (e.g., poly(acrylic acid), poly(methacrylic acid), acrylic acid and methacrylic acid copolymers, methyl methacrylate copolymers, ethoxy ethyl methacrylates, cyanoethyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid alkamide copolymer, poly(methyl methacrylate), polyacrylamide, ammonio methacrylate copolymers, aminoalkyl methacrylate copolymer, poly(methacrylic acid anhydride) and glycidyl methacrylate copolymers) and mixtures of the foregoing. Representative aqueous dispersions of ethylcellulose include, for example, AQUACOAT® (FMC Corp., Philadelphia, Pa.) and SURELEASE® (Colorcon, Inc., West Point, Pa.), both of which can be applied to the substrate according to the manufacturer's instructions. Representative acrylic polymers include, for example, the various EUDRAGIT® (Rohm America, Piscataway, N.J.) polymers, which may be used singly or in combination depending on the desired release profile, according to the manufacturer's instructions.


The physical properties of coatings that comprise an aqueous dispersion of a hydrophobic material may be improved by the addition or one or more plasticizers. Suitable plasticizers for alkyl celluloses include, for example, dibutyl sebacate, diethyl phthalate, triethyl citrate, tributyl citrate and triacetin. Suitable plasticizers for acrylic polymers include, for example, citric acid esters such as triethyl citrate and tributyl citrate, dibutyl phthalate, polyethylene glycols, propylene glycol, diethyl phthalate, castor oil and triacetin.


Controlled-release coatings are generally applied using conventional techniques, such as by spraying in the form of an aqueous dispersion. If desired, the coating may comprise pores or channels or to facilitate release of active ingredient. Pores and channels may be generated by well known methods, including the addition of organic or inorganic material that is dissolved, extracted or leached from the coating in the environment of use. Certain such pore-forming materials include hydrophilic polymers, such as hydroxyalkylcelluloses (e.g., hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), cellulose ethers, synthetic water-soluble polymers (e.g., polyvinylpyrrolidone, cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyethylene oxide), water-soluble polydextrose, saccharides and polysaccharides and alkali metal salts. Alternatively, or in addition, a controlled release coating may include one or more orifices, which may be formed my methods such as those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,845,770; 4,034,758; 4,077,407; 4,088,864; 4,783,337 and 5,071,607. Controlled-release may also be achieved through the use of transdermal patches, using conventional technology (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,668,232).


Further examples of controlled release formulations, and components thereof, may be found, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,572,833; 4,587,117; 4,606,909; 4,610,870; 4,684,516; 4,777,049; 4,994,276; 4,996,058; 5,128,143; 5,202,128; 5,376,384; 5,384,133; 5,445,829; 5,510,119; 5,618,560; 5,643,604; 5,891,474; 5,958,456; 6,039,980; 6,143,353; 6,126,969; 6,156,342; 6,197,347; 6,387,394; 6,399,096; 6,437,000; 6,447,796; 6,475,493; 6,491,950; 6,524,615; 6,838,094; 6,905,709; 6,923,984; 6,923,988; and 6,911,217; each of which is hereby incorporated by reference for its teaching of the preparation of controlled release dosage forms.


In addition to or together with the above modes of administration, a compound provided herein may be conveniently added to food or drinking water (e.g., for administration to non-human animals including companion animals (such as dogs and cats) and livestock). Animal feed and drinking water compositions may be formulated so that the animal takes in an appropriate quantity of the composition along with its diet. It may also be convenient to present the composition as a premix for addition to feed or drinking water.


Compounds provided herein are generally present within a pharmaceutical composition at levels providing a therapeutically effective amount upon administration, as described above. Dosage forms providing dosage levels ranging from about 0.1 mg to about 140 mg per kilogram of body weight per day are preferred (about 0.5 mg to about 7 g per human patient per day). The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. Dosage unit forms generally contain between from about 0.1 mg to about 2 g, preferably 0.5 mg to 1 g, and more preferably 1 mg to 500 mg, of an active ingredient. It will be understood, however, that the optimal dose for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time and route of administration; the rate of excretion; any simultaneous treatment, such as a drug combination; and the type and severity of the particular disease undergoing treatment. Optimal dosages may be established using routine testing and procedures that are well known in the art.


Pharmaceutical compositions may be packaged for treating conditions responsive to H3 receptor modulation, including those specifically recited herein (e.g., attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, a cognitive disorder (such as mild cognitive impairment), epilepsy, migraine, narcolepsy, allergic rhinitis, vertigo, motion sickness, a memory disorder such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, obesity, an eating disorder or diabetes). Packaged pharmaceutical preparations comprise a container holding one or more dosage units comprising a therapeutically effective amount of at least one H3 receptor modulator as described herein and instructions (e.g., labeling) indicating that the contained composition is to be used for treating a condition responsive to H3 receptor modulation in the patient.


Methods of Use


H3 receptor modulators provided herein may be used to alter activity and/or activation of H3 receptors in a variety of contexts, both in vitro and in vivo. Within certain aspects, H3 receptor modulators may be used to inhibit or enhance (preferably to inhibit) H3 receptor activity in vitro or in vivo. In general, such methods comprise the step of contacting a H3 receptor with one or more H3 receptor modulators provided herein, in aqueous solution and under conditions otherwise suitable for binding of the H3 receptor modulator(s) to H3 receptor. The H3 receptor modulator(s) are generally present at a concentration that is sufficient to alter H3 receptor GTP binding activity in vitro (using the assay provided in Example 7). The H3 receptor may be present in solution or suspension (e.g., in an isolated membrane or cell preparation), or in a cultured or isolated cell. Within certain embodiments, the H3 receptor is present in a patient (e.g., expressed by a neuronal cell), and the aqueous solution is a body fluid. Preferably, one or more H3 receptor modulators are administered to a patient in an amount such that each H3 receptor modulator is present in at least one body fluid of the patient at a therapeutically effective concentration that is 1 micromolar or less; preferably 500 nanomolar or less; more preferably 100 nanomolar or less, 50 nanomolar or less, 20 nanomolar or less, or 10 nanomolar or less. For example, such compounds may be administered at a dose that is less than 20 mg/kg body weight, preferably less than 5 mg/kg and, in some instances, less than 1 mg/kg. In vivo, modulation of H3 receptor activity may be assessed by detecting an alteration of a symptom (e.g., memory or attention) in a patient being treated with one or more H3 receptor modulators provided herein.


The present invention further provides methods for treating conditions responsive to H3 receptor modulation. Within the context of the present invention, the term “treatment” encompasses both disease-modifying treatment and symptomatic treatment, either of which may be prophylactic (i.e., before the onset of symptoms, in order to prevent, delay or reduce the severity of symptoms) or therapeutic (i.e., after the onset of symptoms, in order to reduce the severity and/or duration of symptoms). A condition is “responsive to H3 receptor modulation” if it is characterized by inappropriate activity of H3 receptor, regardless of the amount of H3 receptor ligand present locally, and/or if modulation of H3 receptor activity results in alleviation of the condition or a symptom thereof. Such conditions may be diagnosed and monitored using criteria that have been established in the art. Patients may include humans, domesticated companion animals and livestock, with dosages as described above.


Conditions that are responsive to H3 receptor modulation include, for example:

  • Cardiovascular disorders, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease and stroke;
  • Cancer (e.g., endometrial, breast, prostate and colon cancer, cutaneous carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma and melanoma);
  • Metabolic disorders including impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidaemia, and diabetes (e.g., non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus);
  • Immune conditions and disorders including osteoarthritis, allergy (e.g., allergic rhinitis), and inflammation;
  • Respiratory conditions including nasal congestion, upper airway allergic response, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease;
  • Disorders associated with the regulation of sleep and wakefulness, or arousal and vigilance, including narcolepsy, jet lag, sleep apnea, and sleep disorders, such as excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) (e.g., shift work sleep disorder), insomnia (e.g., primary insomnia), idiopathic hypersomnia, circadian rhythm sleep disorder, dyssomnia NOS, parasomnias including nightmare disorder, sleep terror disorder, sleep disorders secondary to depression, anxiety and/or other mental disorders and substance-induced sleep disorder;
  • Eating disorders (e.g., bulimia, binge eating and anorexia) and obesity;
  • Digestive system and gastrointestinal disorders including gallbladder disease, ulcer, hyper- and hypo-motility of the gastrointestinal tract and irritable bowel syndrome;
  • CNS disorders including hyper- and hypo-activity of the central nervous system, migraine, epilepsy, seizures, convulsions, mood disorders, attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, manic disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, migraine, vertigo, motion sickness, dementia, cognitive deficit (e.g., in psychiatric disorder, such as mild cognitive impairment), learning deficit, memory deficit (e.g., age-related memory dysfunction), multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, addiction (e.g., resulting from drug abuse), neurogenic inflammation and Tourette's syndrome;
  • Vestibular dysfunction (e.g., Meniere's disease, dizziness and motion sickness);
  • Pain (e.g., inflammatory pain or neuropathic pain) and itch;
  • Septic shock; and
  • Glaucoma.


H3 receptor modulators may further be used to enhance a patient's cognitive ability.


In certain embodiments, compounds provided herein are used to treat attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, a cognitive disorder (such as mild cognitive impairment), epilepsy, migraine, narcolepsy, allergic rhinitis, vertigo, motion sickness, a memory disorder such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, obesity, an eating disorder or diabetes. Treatment regimens may vary depending on the compound used and the particular condition to be treated. However, for treatment of most disorders, a frequency of administration of 4 times daily or less is preferred. In general, a dosage regimen of 2 times daily is more preferred, with once a day dosing particularly preferred. It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level and treatment regimen for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion, drug combination and the severity of the particular disease undergoing therapy. In general, the use of the minimum dose sufficient to provide effective therapy is preferred. Patients may generally be monitored for therapeutic effectiveness using medical or veterinary criteria suitable for the condition being treated or prevented.


Within other aspects, H3 receptor modulators provided herein may be used within combination therapy for the treatment of conditions that are responsive to H3 receptor modulation, as described above. Within such combination therapy, a H3 receptor modulator is administered to a patient along with a second therapeutic agent that is not a H3 receptor modulator. The H3 receptor modulator and second therapeutic agent may be present in the same pharmaceutical composition, or may be administered separately in either order. It will be apparent that additional therapeutic agents may, but need not, also be administered.


Second therapeutic agents suitable for use in such combination therapy include, for example, antiobesity agents, antidiabetics, antihypertensive agents, antidepressants, antipsychotic agents and anti-inflammatory agents. In certain combinations, the second therapeutic agent is a compound for the treatment of attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, an antipsychotic agent or an anti-obesity agent.


Histamine H1 receptor modulators represent one class of second therapeutic agents. Combination with H1 receptor modulators may be used, for example, in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, inflammatory diseases and allergic conditions. Representative H1 receptor antagonists include, for example, loratadine (CLARITIN™), desloratadine (CLARINEX™), fexofenadine (ALLEGRA™) and cetirizine (ZYRTEC™). Other H1 receptor antagonists include ebastine, mizolastine, acrivastine, astemizole, azatadine, azelastine, brompheniramine, chlorpheniramine, clemastine, cyproheptadine, dexchlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, hydroxyzine, levocabastine, promethazine and tripelennamine.


Antiobesity therapeutic agents for use in combination therapy include, for example, leptin, leptin receptor agonists, melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) receptor antagonists, melanocortin receptor 3 (MC3) agonists, melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4) agonists, melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) agonists, cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript (CART) agonists, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase inhibitors, a growth hormone secretagogue, beta-3 adrenergic agonists, 5HT-2 agonists, orexin antagonists, neuropeptide Y1 or Y5 antagonists, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agonists, galanin antagonists, urocortin agonists, cholecystokinin (CCK) agonists, GLP-1 agonists, serotonin (5HT) agonists, bombesin agonists, CB1 antagonists such as rimonabant, growth hormone, growth factors such as prolactin or placental lactogen, growth hormone releasing compounds, thyrotropin (TRH) agonists, uncoupling protein 2 or 3 (UCP 2 or 3) modulators, dopamine agonists, agents that modify lipid metabolism such as antilipidemic agents (e.g., cholestyramine, colestipol, clofibrate, gemfibrozil, lovastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin, probucol or dextrothyroxine), lipase/amylase inhibitors, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) modulators, retinoid X receptor (RXR) modulators, TR-beta agonists, agouti-related protein (AGRP) inhibitors, opioid antagonists such as naltrexone, exendin-4, GLP-1, ciliary neurotrophic factor, corticotropin-releasing factor binding protein (CRF BP) antagonists and/or corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) agonists. Representative such agents include, for example, sibutramine, dexfenfluramine, dextroamphetamine, amphetamine, orlistat, mazindol, phentermine, phendimetrazine, diethylpropion, fluoxetine, bupropion, topiramate and ecopipam.


Antihypertensive therapeutic agents for use in combination therapy include, for example, beta-blockers such as alprenolol, atenolol, timolol, pindolol, propranolol and metoprolol, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors such as benazepril, captopril, enalapril, fosinopril, lisinopril, quinapril and ramipril, calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine, felodipine, nicardipine, isradipine, nimodipine, diltiazem and verapamil, alpha-blockers such as doxazosin, urapidil, prazosin and terazosin, and angiotensin receptor blockers such as losartan.


CNS-active agents for use in combination therapy include, but are not limited to the following: for anxiety, depression, mood disorders or schizophrenia-serotonin receptor (e.g., 5-HT1A) agonists and antagonists, neurokinin receptor antagonists, GABAergic agents, and corticotropin releasing factor receptor (CRF1) antagonists; for sleep disorders—melatonin receptor agonists; and for neurodegenerative disorders—such as Alzheimer's dementia, nicotinic agonists, muscarinic agents, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and dopamine receptor agonists. For example, such combination therapy may include a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or a non-selective serotonin, dopamine and/or norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Such agents include, for example, fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine, amitriptyline, seroxat and citalopram. For cognitive disorders, representative agents for use in combination therapy include GABAergic agents.


Other therapeutic agents suitable for combination therapy include, for example, agents that modify cholinergic transmission (e.g., 5-HT6 antagonists), M1 muscarinic agonists, M2 muscarinic antagonists and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.


Suitable doses for H3 receptor modulator within such combination therapy are generally as described above. Doses and methods of administration of other therapeutic agents can be found, for example, in the manufacturer's instructions in the Physician's Desk Reference. In certain embodiments, the combination administration of a H3 receptor modulator with the second therapeutic agent results in a reduction of the dosage of the second therapeutic agent required to produce a therapeutic effect (i.e., a decrease in the minimum therapeutically effective amount). Thus, preferably, the dosage of second therapeutic agent in a combination or combination treatment method is less than the maximum dose advised by the manufacturer for administration of the second therapeutic agent without combination administration of a H3 receptor modulator. More preferably this dosage is less than ¾, even more preferably less than ½, and highly preferably, less than ¼ of the maximum dose, while most preferably the dose is less than 10% of the maximum dose advised by the manufacturer for the second therapeutic agent when administered without combination administration of a H3 receptor modulator. It will be apparent that the dosage amount of H3 receptor modulator component(s) of the combination needed to achieve the desired effect may similarly be affected by the dosage amount and potency of the other therapeutic component(s) of the combination.


In certain preferred embodiments, the combination administration of a H3 receptor modulator with other therapeutic agent(s) is accomplished by packaging one or more H3 receptor modulators and one or more other therapeutic agents in the same package, either in separate containers within the package or in the same contained as a mixture of one or more H3 receptor modulators and one or more other therapeutic agents. Preferred mixtures are formulated for oral administration (e.g., as pills, capsules, tablets or the like). In certain embodiments, the package comprises a label bearing indicia indicating that the one or more H3 receptor modulators and one or more other therapeutic agents are to be taken together for the treatment of attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, a cognitive disorder (such as mild cognitive impairment), epilepsy, migraine, narcolepsy, allergic rhinitis, vertigo, motion sickness, a memory disorder such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, obesity, an eating disorder or diabetes.


Within separate aspects, the present invention provides a variety of non-pharmaceutical in vitro and in vivo uses for the compounds provided herein. For example, such compounds may be labeled and used as probes for the detection and localization of H3 receptor (in samples such as cell preparations or tissue sections, preparations or fractions thereof). In addition, compounds provided herein that comprise a suitable reactive group (such as an aryl carbonyl, nitro or azide group) may be used in photoaffinity labeling studies of receptor binding sites. In addition, compounds provided herein may be used as positive controls in assays for receptor activity, as standards for determining the ability of a candidate agent to bind to H3 receptor, or as radiotracers for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging or for single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT). Such methods can be used to characterize H3 receptors in living subjects. For example, a H3 receptor modulator may be labeled using any of a variety of well known techniques (e.g., radiolabeled with a radionuclide such as tritium, as described herein), and incubated with a sample for a suitable incubation time (e.g., determined by first assaying a time course of binding). Following incubation, unbound compound is removed (e.g., by washing), and bound compound detected using any method suitable for the label employed (e.g., autoradiography or scintillation counting for radiolabeled compounds; spectroscopic methods may be used to detect luminescent groups and fluorescent groups). As a control, a matched sample containing labeled compound and a greater (e.g., 10-fold greater) amount of unlabeled compound may be processed in the same manner. A greater amount of detectable label remaining in the test sample than in the control indicates the presence of H3 receptor in the sample. Detection assays, including receptor autoradiography (receptor mapping) of H3 receptor in cultured cells or tissue samples may be performed as described by Kuhar in sections 8.1.1 to 8.1.9 of Current Protocols in Pharmacology (1998) John Wiley & Sons, New York.


Compounds provided herein may also be used within a variety of well known cell separation methods. For example, H3 receptor modulators may be linked to the interior surface of a tissue culture plate or other support, for use as affinity ligands for immobilizing and thereby isolating, H3 receptors (e.g., isolating receptor-expressing cells) in vitro. Within one preferred embodiment, a H3 receptor modulator linked to a fluorescent marker, such as fluorescein, is contacted with the cells, which are then analyzed (or isolated) by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS).


H3 receptor modulators provided herein may further be used within assays for the identification of other agents that bind to H3 receptor. In general, such assays are standard competition binding assays, in which bound, labeled H3 receptor modulator is displaced by a test compound. Briefly, such assays are performed by: (a) contacting H3 receptor with a radiolabeled H3 receptor modulator as described herein, under conditions that permit binding of the H3 receptor modulator to H3 receptor, thereby generating bound, labeled H3 receptor modulator; (b) detecting a signal that corresponds to the amount of bound, labeled H3 receptor modulator in the absence of test agent; (c) contacting the bound, labeled H3 receptor modulator with a test agent; (d) detecting a signal that corresponds to the amount of bound labeled H3 receptor modulator in the presence of test agent; and (e) detecting a decrease in signal detected in step (d), as compared to the signal detected in step (b).

Example 4
Preparation of Chimeric Human H3 Receptor

Chimeric H3 receptor cDNA from human H3 receptor is generated from three cDNA fragments: (1) a human H3 receptor cDNA 5′ fragment; (2) a human H3 receptor cDNA 3′ fragment; and (3) a rat Gαi2 cDNA fragment, each containing appropriate, overlapping linker sequences, as described in Example 1 of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/355,711, which published as US 2006/0188960, and is hereby incorporated by reference for its teaching of the preparation of a chimeric human H3 receptor-rat Gαi2 baculoviral expression construct that has the sequence provided in SEQ ID NO:7 of US 2006/0188960, and encodes a polypeptide that has the sequence provided in SEQ ID NO: 8 of US 2006/0188960.


Example 5
Chimeric Human H3 Receptor Baculovirus Preparation and Infection

The chimeric human H3 receptor-rat Gαi2 baculoviral expression vector is co-transfected along with BACULOGOLD DNA (BD PHARMINGEN, San Diego, Calif.) into Sf9 cells. The Sf9 cell culture supernatant is harvested three days post-transfection. The recombinant virus-containing supernatant is serially diluted in Hink's TNM-FH insect medium (JRH Biosciences, Kansas City, Kans.) supplemented Grace's salts and with 4.1 mM L-Gln, 3.3 g/L LAH, 3.3 g/L ultrafiltered yeastolate and 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (hereinafter “insect medium”) and plaque assayed for recombinant plaques. After four days, recombinant plaques are selected and harvested into 1 ml of insect medium for amplification. Each 1 ml volume of recombinant baculovirus (at passage 0) is used to infect a separate T25 flask containing 2×106 Sf9 cells in 5 ml of insect medium. After five days of incubation at 27° C., supernatant medium is harvested from each of the T25 infections for use as passage 1 inoculum.


Two of seven recombinant baculoviral clones are chosen for a second round of amplification, using 1 ml of passage 1 stock to infect 1×108 cells in 100 ml of insect medium divided into two T175 flasks. Forty-eight hours post infection, passage 2 medium from each 100 ml prep is harvested and plaque assayed to determine virus titer. The cell pellets from the second round of amplification are assayed by affinity binding as described below to verify recombinant receptor expression. A third round of amplification is then initiated using a multiplicity of infection of 0.1 to infect a liter of Sf9 cells. Forty hours post-infection, the supernatant medium is harvested to yield passage 3 baculoviral stock.


The remaining cell pellet is assayed for affinity binding using the protocol of DeMartino et al. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269(20):14446-50 (which is incorporated herein by reference for its teaching of binding assays at page 14447), adapted as follows. Radioligand ranges from 0.40-40 nM [3H]-N-(a)methylhistamine (Perkin Elmer, Boston, Mass.) and assay buffer contains 50 mM Tris, 1 mM CaCl2, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA, 0.1 mM bacitracin, and 100 KIU/ml aprotinin, pH 7.4. Filtration is carried out using GF/C WHATMAN filters (presoaked in 1.0% polyethyeneimine for 2 hr prior to use). Filters are washed three times with 5 ml cold assay buffer without BSA, bacitracin, or aprotinin and air dried for 12-16 hr. Radioactivity retained on filters is measured on a beta scintillation counter.


Titer of the passage 3 baculoviral stock is determined by plaque assay and a multiplicity of infection, incubation time course, binding assay experiment is carried out to determine conditions for optimal receptor expression. A multiplicity of infection of 0.5 and a 72-hr incubation period are preferred infection parameters for chimeric human H3 receptor-rat Gαi2 expression in up to 1-liter Sf9 cell infection cultures.


Log-phase Sf9 cells (INVITROGEN), are infected with one or more stocks of recombinant baculovirus followed by culturing in insect medium at 27° C. Infections are carried out with virus directing the expression of human H3 receptor-rat Gαi2 in combination with three G-protein subunit-expression virus stocks: 1) rat Gαi2 G-protein-encoding virus stock (BIOSIGNAL #V5J008), 2) bovine β1 G-protein-encoding virus stock (BIOSIGNAL #V5H012), and 3) human γ2 G-protein-encoding virus stock (BIOSIGNAL #V6B003), which may be obtained from BIOSIGNAL Inc., Montreal.


The infections are conveniently carried out at a multiplicity of infection of 0.5:1.0:0.5:0.5. At 72 hr post-infection, an aliquot of cell suspension is analyzed for viability by trypan blue dye exclusion. If no blue is detected by visual inspection, the Sf9 cells are harvested via centrifugation (3000 rpm/10 min/4° C.).


Example 6
Chimeric Human H3 Receptor Cell Membrane Preparations

Sf9 cell pellets obtained as described in Example 5 are resuspended in homogenization buffer (10 mM HEPES, 250 mM sucrose, 0.5 μg/ml leupeptin, 2 μg/ml Aprotinin, 200 μM PMSF, and 2.5 mM EDTA, pH 7.4) and homogenized using a POLYTRON PT10-35 homogenizer (KINEMATICA AG, Lucerne, Switzerland; setting 5 for 30 seconds). The homogenate is centrifuged (536×g/10 min at 4° C.) to pellet the nuclei and unbroken cells. The supernatant containing the membranes is decanted to a clean centrifuge tube, centrifuged (48,000×g/30 min, 4° C.) and the resulting pellet resuspended in 30 ml homogenization buffer. This centrifugation and resuspension step is repeated twice. The final pellet is resuspended in ice cold Dulbecco's PBS containing 5 mM EDTA and stored in frozen aliquots at −80° C. until used for radioligand binding or functional response assays. The protein concentration of the resulting membrane preparation (hereinafter termed “P2 membranes”) is conveniently measured using a Bradford protein assay (BIO-RAD LABORATORIES, Hercules, Calif.). By this measure, a 1-liter culture of cells typically yields 100-150 mg of total membrane protein.


Example 7
Chimeric Human H3 Receptor GTP Binding Assays

This Example illustrates a representative assay for evaluating agonist-stimulated GTP-gamma35S binding (“GTP binding”) activity. Such GTP binding activity can be used to identify H3 antagonists and to differentiate neutral antagonist compounds from those that possess inverse agonist activity. This agonist-stimulated GTP binding activity can also be used to detect partial agonism mediated by antagonist compounds. A compound analyzed in this assay is referred to herein as a “test compound.”


Four independent baculoviral stocks (one directing the expression of the chimeric human H3 receptor and three directing the expression of each of the three subunits of a heterotrimeric G-protein) are used to infect a culture of Sf9 cells as described above. P2 membranes are prepared as described above, and agonist-stimulated GTP binding on the P2 membranes is assessed using histamine (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo.) as agonist in order to ascertain that the receptor/G-protein-alpha-beta-gamma combination(s) yield a functional response as measured by GTP binding. P2 membranes are resuspended by Dounce homogenization (tight pestle) in GTP binding assay buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 2 mM EGTA, 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.2 mg/ml bacitracin, 0.02 mg/ml aprotinin, 0.01 mg/ml saponin, 10 μM GDP) and added to assay tubes at a concentration of 35 μg protein/reaction tube. After adding increasing doses of histamine at concentrations ranging from 10−12 M to 10−5 M, reactions are initiated by the addition of 125 pM GTP-gamma35S (PERKIN ELMER; Boston, Mass.) with a final assay volume of 0.20 ml. In competition experiments, non-radiolabeled test compounds are added to separate reactions at concentrations ranging from 10−10 M to 10−6 M along with 1 μM histamine to yield a final volume of 0.20 ml.


Neutral antagonists are antagonists that are substantially free of inherent agonist activity, and include those test compounds that reduce the histamine-stimulated GTP binding activity towards, but not below, baseline levels. In contrast, in the absence of added histamine, inverse agonists reduce the GTP binding activity of the receptor-containing membranes below baseline. The elevation of GTP binding activity above baseline by a compound in the absence of added histamine in this assay demonstrates agonist activity.


After a 60-min incubation at room temperature, reactions are terminated by vacuum filtration over WHATMAN GF/C filters (pre-soaked in wash buffer, 0.1% BSA) followed by washing with ice-cold wash buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 120 mM NaCl). The amount of receptor-bound (and thereby membrane-bound) GTP-gamma35S is determined by measuring the filter-bound radioactivity, preferably by liquid scintillation spectrometry of the washed filters. Non-specific binding is determined in parallel assays including 10 μM unlabeled GTP-gammaS and typically represents less than 5 percent of total binding. Data is expressed as percent above basal (baseline). The results of GTP binding experiments are analyzed using SIGMAPLOT software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Ill.). IC50 values are calculated by non-linear regression analysis of dose-response curves using Kaleidograph (Synergy Software, Reading, Pa.).


Alternatively the data is analyzed as follows. First, the average bound radioactivity from negative control wells (no agonist) is subtracted from the bound radioactivity detected for each of the other experimental wells. Second, average bound radioactivity is calculated for the positive control wells (agonist wells). Then, percent inhibition for each compound tested is calculated using the equation:

The % inhibition data is plotted as a function of test compound concentration and test compound IC50 is determined using a linear regression in which x is ln(concentration of test compound) and y is ln(percent inhibition/(100-percent inhibition). Data with a percent inhibition that is greater than 90% or less than 15% are rejected and are not used in the regression. The IC50 is e(−intercept/slope).


Calculated IC50 values are converted to K; values by the Cheng-Prusoff correction (Cheng and Prusoff (1973) Biochem. Pharmacol. 22(23):3099-3108). Accordingly, the following equation: Ki=IC50/(1+[L]/EC50) is used, where [L] is the histamine concentration in the GTP binding assay, and EC50 is the concentration of histamine producing a 50% response, as determined by a dose-response analysis using concentrations of histamine ranging from 10−10 M to 10−6M.


To assess agonist or inverse agonist activity of a test compound, this assay is performed in the absence of added histamine, and EC50 values are determined by analogous calculations, where the EC50 is the concentration of test compound producing a 50% response.


Example 8
Chimeric Human H3 Receptor Screening: GTP Binding Assays

This Example illustrates a representative screening assay for evaluating inhibition of histamine-stimulated GTP-gamma35S binding. Such GTP binding activity can be used to identify H3 antagonists and inverse agonists. A compound analyzed in this assay is referred to herein as a “test compound,” and the initial identification of antagonists and inverse agonists is performed using a test compound concentration of 4 μM.


Four independent baculoviral stocks (one directing the expression of the chimeric human H3 receptor and three directing the expression of each of the three subunits of a heterotrimeric G-protein) are used to infect a culture of Sf9 cells as described above. P2 membranes are prepared as described above, and are resuspended by Dounce homogenization (tight pestle) in GTP binding assay buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 2 mM EGTA, 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.2 mg/ml bacitracin, 0.02 mg/ml aprotinin, 0.01 mg/ml saponin, 10 μM GDP) and added to assay tubes at a concentration of 35 μg protein/reaction tube. Non-radiolabeled test compounds are added to separate reactions at a concentration of 4 μM along with 1 μM histamine (agonist). Reactions are initiated by the addition of 125 pM GTP-gamma35S with a final assay volume of 0.20 ml.


After a 60-min incubation at room temperature, reactions are terminated by vacuum filtration over GF/C filters (pre-soaked in 50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 120 mM NaCl plus 0.1% BSA) followed by washing with ice-cold buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 120 mM NaCl). The amount of receptor-bound (and thereby membrane-bound) GTP-gamma35S is determined by measuring the bound radioactivity, preferably by liquid scintillation spectrometry of the washed filters. Non-specific binding is determined using 10 uM GTP-gammaS and typically represents less than 5 percent of total binding. After subtraction of non-specific binding, data is expressed as percent inhibition of 1 μM histamine signal.


Neutral antagonists are those test compounds that reduce the histamine-stimulated GTP binding activity towards, but not below, baseline levels. In contrast, in the absence of added histamine, inverse agonists reduce the GTP binding activity of the receptor-containing membranes below baseline. Any test compound that elevates GTP binding activity above baseline in the absence of added histamine in this assay is defined as having agonist activity.
