Description
PRIORITY TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)

This application claims the benefit of European Patent Application No. 08170716.8, filed Dec. 4, 2008, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Schizophrenia is a progressive and devastating neurological disease characterized by episodic positive symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, thought disorders and psychosis and persistent negative symptoms such as flattened affect, impaired attention and social withdrawal, and cognitive impairments (Lewis D A and Lieberman J A, Neuron, 28:325-33, 2000). For decades research has focused on the “dopaminergic hyperactivity” hypothesis which has led to therapeutic interventions involving blockade of the dopaminergic system (Vandenberg R J and Aubrey K R., Exp. Opin. Ther. Targets, 5(4): 507-518, 2001; Nakazato A and Okuyama S, et al., Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents, 10(1): 75-98, 2000). This pharmacological approach, besides ameliorating positive symptoms in schizophrenic patients, poorly addresses negative and cognitive symptoms which are the best predictors of functional outcome (Sharma T., Br. J. Psychiatry, 174(suppl. 28): 44-51, 1999). In addition, current antipsychotic treatment is associated with adverse effects like weight gain, extrapyramidal symptoms or effects on glucose and lipid metabolism, related to their unspecific pharmacology.


In conclusion there is still a need for developing new antipsychotics with improved efficacy and safety profile. A complementary model of schizophrenia was proposed in the mid-1960' based upon the psychotomimetic action caused by the blockade of the glutamate system by compounds like phencyclidine (PCP) and related agents (ketamine) which are non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonists. Interestingly, in healthy volunteers PCP-induced psychotomimetic action incorporates positive and negative symptoms as well as cognitive dysfunction, thus closely resembling schizophrenia in patients (Javitt D C et al., Biol. Psychiatry, 45: 668-679, 1999).


Cyclic nucleotides cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) are ubiquitous second messengers responsible for mediating the biological response of a variety of extracellular signals, including neurotransmitters, light and hormones. cAPM and cGMP regulate a variety of intracellular processes particularly in neurons of the central nervous system by activating cAMP- and cGMP-dependent kinases which then phosphorylate proteins involved in the regulation of synaptic transmission, neuronal differentiation and survival.


A crucial mechanism for controlling intracellular cyclic nucleotide levels and therefore cyclic nucleotide signaling is via hydrolysis of the 3′,5′-phosphodiester bond by phosphodiesterases. Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are a family of widely expressed enzymes encoded by 21 different genes in humans, with each gene encoding several splice variants (Beavo, J., Physiol. Rev. 1995, 75, 725-748; Conti, M., Jin, S. L., Prog. Nucleic Acid Res. Mol. Biol. 1999, 63, 1-38; Soderling, S. H., Beavo, J. A., Curr. Opin. Cell Biol. 2000, 12, 174-179, Manallack, D. T. et al. J. Med. Chem. 2005, 48 (10), 3449-3462).


The PDE families differ in their substrate specificy for the cyclic nucleotides, their mechanism of regulation and their sensitivity to inhibitors. Moreover, they are differentially localized in the organism, among the cells of an organ and even within the cells. These differences lead to a differentiated involvement of the PDE families in the various physiological functions.


PDE10A is a dual substrate PDE encoded by a single gene as reported in 1999 by three separate research groups (Fujishige K., et al., Eur J Biochem (1999) 266(3):1118-1127, Soderling S. H., et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (1999) 96(12):7071-7076, Loughney K., et al., Gene (1999) 234(1):109-117). PDE10A is unique from other members of the multigene family with respect to amino acid sequence (779 aa), tissue-specific pattern of expression, affinity for cAMP and cGMP and the effect on PDE activity by specific and general inhibitors.


PDE10A has one of the most restricted distribution of any PDE family being primarily expressed in the brain particularly in the nucleus accumbens and the caudate putamen. Additionally thalamus, olfactory bulb, hippocampus and frontal cortex show moderate levels of PDE10A expression. All these brain areas have been suggested to be involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and psychosis, suggesting a central role of PDE10A in this devastating mental illness. Outside the central nervous system PDE10A transcript expression is also observed in peripheral tissues like thyroid gland, pituitary gland, insulin secreting pancreatic cells and testes (Fujishige, K. et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1999, 274, 18438-18445, Sweet, L. (2005) WO 2005/012485). On the other hand expression of PDE10A protein has been observed only in enteric ganglia, in testis and epididdimal sperm (Coskran T. M, et al., J. Histochem. Cytochem. 2006, 54 (11), 1205-1213).


In the striatum both mRNA and protein are expressed only in the GABA (-aminobutyric acid)-containing medium spiny projection neurons making it an intriguing target for the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system (Fujishige, K. et al., Eur. J. Biochem. 1999, 266, 1118-1127; Seeger, T. F. et al., Brain Res. 2003, 985, 113-126). The striatal medium spiny neurons are the principal input site and first site for information integration in the basal ganglia circuit of the mammalian brain. The basal ganglia are a series of interconnected subcortical nuclei that integrate widespread cortical input with dopaminergic signaling to plan and execute relevant motor and cognitive patterns while suppressing unwanted or irrelevant patterns (Graybiel, A. M. Curr. Biol. 2000, 10, R509-R511 (2000).


Papaverine, a relatively specific PDE10A inhibitor, and PDE10A-knockout mice have been used to explore the physiology of this enzyme and the possible therapeutic utility of PDE10A inhibition Inhibition of this enzyme pharmacologically or through gene disruption causes a reduction in activity and a reduced response to psychomotor stimulants. Inhibition also reduces the conditioned avoidance response, a behavioural response that is predictive of clinical antipsychotic activity (Siuciak, J. A.; et al., Neuropharmacology 2006, 51 (2), 386-396; Siuciak, J. A.; et al., Neuropharmacology 2006, 51 (2), 374-385).


In addition PDE10A inhibition bears the potential to improve the negative and cognitive symptoms associated to schizophrenia. Indeed papaverine have been shown to attenuate the deficits in the extra-dimensional shift learning induced in rats by sub-chronic treatment with PCP, an animal paradigm of NMDA receptor hypofunction (Rodefer, J, S., et al., Eur. J. Neuroscience 2005, 2: 1070-1076). In addition increased social interaction in PDE10A2-deficient mice have been observed (Sano, H. J. Neurochem. 2008, 105, 546-556).


Diseases that can be treated with PDE10A inhibitors include, but are not limited to, diseases thought to be mediated in part by dysfunction of the basal ganglia, of other parts of the central nervous system and of other PDE10A expressing tissues. In particular, diseases can be treated, where inhibition of PDE10A can have therapeutic effects.


These diseases include, but are not limited to, certain psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, positive, negative and/or cognitive symptoms associated with schizophrenia, delusional disorder or substance-induced psychotic disorder, anxiety disorders such as panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, acute stress disorder or generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive/compulsive disorders, drug addictions, movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease or restless leg syndrome, cognition deficiency disorders such as Alzheimer's disease or multi-infarct dementia, mood disorders such as depression or bipolar disorders, or neuropsychiatric conditions such as psychosis, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or related attentional disorders.


PDE10A inhibitors might also be useful in preventing neurons from undergoing apoptosis by raising cAMP and cGMP levels and, thus, might possess anti-inflammatory properties. Neurodegenerative disorders treatable with PDE10A inhibitors include, but are not limited to, as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke or spinal cord injury.


The growth of cancer cells is inhibited by cAMP and cGMP. Thus by raising cAMP and cGMP, PDE10A inhibitors can also be used for the treatment of different solid tumors and hematological malignancies such as renal cell carcinoma or breast cancer.

In one embodiment, the compounds of formula (I) as described above do not comprise compounds selected from the group consisting of

It will be appreciated that the compounds of general formula (I) in this invention can be derivatized at functional groups to provide derivatives which are capable of conversion back to the parent compound in vivo.


The invention further relates to a process for the manufacture of compounds of formula (I) as defined above, which process comprises reacting a compound of formula (II)

with a compound of the formula R2—NH—NH2, wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are as defined above.


The reaction of a compound of formula (II) with a compound of the formula R2—NH—NH2 can be carried out under conditions as described in the examples or under conditions well known to the person skilled in the art. For example, the reaction can be performed in solvents like DMF, acetic acid, ethanol, water, a mixture of ethanol with hydrochloric acid and the like at elevated temperatures e.g. at 100-200° C., at atmospheric pressure or elevated pressure. The reaction can be performed at the reflux temperature of the respective solvent, or it can be performed at temperatures above boiling point by applying sealed tubes and using microwave irradiation conditions.


The present invention also relates to compounds of formula (I) as defined above, when prepared by a process as described above.


The compounds of formula (II) and R2—NH—NH2, can be prepared by methods known in the art or as described below or in analogy thereto. Unless otherwise indicated, R1, R2, R3, and R4 are as described above.


The pyridazinones of the general formula I of the present invention can be prepared starting from anilines of formula 2 (see scheme 1 below). Anilines 2 are either commercially available or can be prepared from commercial precursors as e.g. from their corresponding nitro compounds by reductive methods. Another option is to convert commercial anilines into the desired anilines 2 by standard methods known in the art. Conversion of anilines 2 into their corresponding diazonium salts of general formula 3 can be done using standard methods known to those skilled in the art as e.g. treatment of the aniline in a mineral acid as e.g. hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid with sodium nitrite. The formed diazonium salts 3 can be used without any further purification for the condensation with suitable 1,3-diketones 4 resulting in diazo compounds of general formula 5. This reaction is preferentially performed in an alcohol/water mixture at low temperatures (0-5° C.) at almost neutral pH value (pH 5-6) which can be achieved by adding suitable basic salts like e.g. ammonium acetate. The diazo compounds of formula 5 can tautomerize to the corresponding hydrazones.


The pyridazin-4-one ring can be formed by reacting the intermediate diazo compounds of formula 5 with C1-equivalents like e.g. formaldehyde, N,N-dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal. The reaction with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal affords the pyridazinone intermediates of general formula 6 bearing a 1,3-diketone equivalent as side chain.


The side chain 1,3-diketone equivalent of pyridazinones 6 is used to form the final products of general formula I by condensing pyridazinones 6 with suitable hydrazines of general formula 7. This reaction is usually performed in solvents like DMF, acetic acid, ethanol, water, a mixture of ethanol with hydrochloric acid and the like at elevated temperatures. The reaction can be performed at the reflux temperature of the respective solvent, or it can be performed at temperatures above boiling point by applying sealed tubes and using microwave irradiation conditions.


Hydrazines of general formula 7 are commercially available or can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art. Straightforward synthetic methods starting from commercial precursors include the conversion of the corresponding anilines with sodium nitrite and tin-(II)-chloride and the treatment of hydrazine hydrate with aromatic/heteroaromatic halides.

The pyridazinones of the general formula I can also be prepared starting from anilines of formula 2 according to scheme 2 (see below).

Conversion of anilines 2 into their corresponding diazonium salts of general formula 3 can be done as described above. The formed diazonium salts 3 can be used without any further purification for the condensation with suitable ketoesters 8 resulting in diazo compounds of general formula 9. This reaction is preferentially performed in an alcohol/water mixture at low temperatures (0-5° C.) at almost neutral pH value (pH 5-6) which can be achieved by adding suitable basic salts like e.g. ammonium acetate. The diazo compounds of formula 9 can tautomerize to the corresponding hydrazones.


The pyridazin-4-one ring can be formed by reacting the intermediate diazo compounds of formula 9 with C1-equivalents like e.g. formaldehyde, N,N-dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal. The reaction with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal affords the pyridazinone intermediates of general formula 10 bearing an ester equivalent as side chain.


The ester side chain equivalent of pyridazinones 10 can be converted into a ketone most conveniently by functionalisation into a suitable activated species such as a Weinreb amide 11 therefore disposed towards displacement with an organometalic species, most commonly a Grignard reagent of general formula 12 in e.g. a non protic solvent such as THF or hexane to give the corresponding ketone 13. This can be again reacted with C1-equivalents like e.g. formaldehyde, N,N-dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal. The reaction with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal affords the diketone equivalent of general formula 14 which is used to form the final products of general formula I by condensing with suitable hydrazines of general formula 7. This reaction is usually performed in solvents like DMF, acetic acid, ethanol, water, a mixture of ethanol with hydrochloric acid and the like at elevated temperatures. The reaction can be performed at the reflux temperature of the respective solvent, or it can be performed at temperatures above boiling point by applying sealed tubes and using microwave irradiation conditions.


Hydrazines of general formula 7 are commercially available or can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art. Straightforward synthetic methods starting from commercial precursors include the conversion of the corresponding anilines with sodium nitrite and tin-(II)-chloride and the treatment of hydrazine hydrate with aromatic/heteroaromatic halides.


Certain substituents on the groups R1, R2, R3, and R4 may not be inert to the conditions of the synthesis sequences described above and may require protection by standard protecting groups known in the art. For instance, an amino or hydroxyl group can be protected as an acetyl or tert.-butoxycarbonyl derivative. Alternatively, some substituents can be derived from others at the end of the reaction sequence. For instance, a compound of formula I can be synthesized bearing a nitro-, an ethoxycarbonyl, an ether, a sulfonic acid substituent on the groups R1, R2, R3, and R4, which substituents are finally converted to an amino- (e.g. by reduction of a nitro group or cleavage of a suitable amino protective group (e.g. removal of a Boc group with TFA)), alkylamino- (e.g. by reductive amination of an amino group), dialkylamino- (e.g. by alkylation of an amino group, reduction of an appropriate acylamino group with lithium aluminum hydride or Eschweiler-Clarke reaction with an appropriate amino or alkylamino group), acylamino- (by amide formation from an amino group e.g. with appropriate acyl halides or with appropriate carboxylic acids after their activation with CDI, EDC etc.), alkylsulfonylamino (e.g. by reaction of an amino group with sulfonyl chlorides), arylsulfonylamino substituent (e.g. by reaction of an amino group with sulfonyl chlorides), hydroxyl- (by cleavage of a suitable hydroxy protective group (e.g. hydrogenolytic removal of a benzyl ether or oxidative cleavage of a p-methoxy benzyl ether), ether- (e.g. by Williamson's ether synthesis from a hydroxyl group) or to a carboxamide substituent (e.g. by amide formation from a carboxylic acid group with appropriate amines after activation of the carboxylic acid group with CDI, EDC etc. or conversion to an acyl chloride), or to a sulfonamide substituent by standard procedures.


The corresponding salts with acids can be obtained by standard methods known to the person skilled in the art, e.g. by dissolving the compound of formula (I) in a suitable solvent such as e.g. dioxan or THF and adding an appropriate amount of the corresponding acid. The products can usually be isolated by filtration or by chromatography. The conversion of a compound of formula (I) into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt with a base can be carried out by treatment of such a compound with such a base. One possible method to form such a salt is e.g. by addition of 1/n equivalents of a basic salt such as e.g. M(OH)n, wherein M=metal or ammonium cation and n=number of hydroxide anions, to a solution of the compound in a suitable solvent (e.g. ethanol, ethanol-water mixture, tetrahydrofuran-water mixture) and to remove the solvent by evaporation or lyophilisation.


The conversion of compounds of formula (I) into pharmaceutically acceptable esters can be carried out e.g. by treatment of a suitable carboxy group present in the molecule with a suitable alcohol using e.g. a condensating reagent such as benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino) phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP), N,N-dicylohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) or O-(1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-1-pyridyl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluroniumtetrafluoroborate (TPTU), or by direct reaction with a suitable alcohol under acidic conditions, as for example in the presence of a strong mineral acid like hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and the like. Compounds having a hydroxyl group can be converted to esters with suitable acids by analogous methods.


Insofar as their preparation is not described in the examples, the compounds of formula (I) as well as all intermediate products can be prepared according to analogous methods or according to the methods set forth above. Starting materials are commercially available, known in the art or can be prepared by methods known in the art or in analogy thereto.

The following tests were carried out in order to determine the activity of the compounds of the present invention. PDE10 activity of the compounds of the present invention is determined using a Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA)-based method similar to the one previously described (Fawcett, L. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (2000) 97(7):3702-3707).


PDE10A1 and PDE10A2 are two splice variants of PDE10A. There are these 2 splice variants known, which differ in the N-terminal part of the protein. The catalytic domains of PDE10A1 and PDE10A2 are identical. The assay for PDE10A2 described below is therefore also representative for PDE10A1 and also for PDE10A in general.


The PDE10A2 assay was performed in a two step procedure in 96-well micro titer plates. The reaction mixture of 80 μl contained 20 mM HEPES/10 mM MgCl2/0.05 mg/ml buffer (pH 7.5), 50 nM cGMP (Sigma) and 50 nM [3H]-cGMP (GE Healthcare), 0.25 nM PDE10A2 with or without a specific test compound. A range of concentrations of the potential inhibitor was used to generate data for calculating the concentration of inhibitor resulting in 50% of the effect (e.g. IC50, the concentration of the competitor inhibiting PDE10A2 activity 50%). Non-specific activity was tested without the enzyme. The reaction was initiated by addition of the substrate solution (cGMP and [3H]-cGMP) and allowed to progress for 30 minutes at room temperature. The reaction was terminated by transferring 50 μl of the reaction mixture into an OptiPlate (Perkin Elmer) containing 25 μl of YSi-SPA scintillation beads (GE Healthcare) in 18 mM zinc sulphate solution (stop reagent). After 1 h under shaking, the plate was centrifuged one minute at 1000 rpm to allow beads to settle. Afterwards, radioactive counts were measured on a Perkin Elmer TopCount Scintillation plate reader.


The catalytic domain of human PDE10A2, residues serine 449 to aspartate 789, was amplified by PCR using cDNA (Origene) and the oligonucleotides 5′-GGGGACAAGTTT GTACAAAAAAGCAGGCTTAGTACCTAGAGGATCAAGCATTTGTACTTCAGAAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO. 1) (with AttB1 recombination site in bold and thrombin protease cleavage site in italics) and 5′-GGGGACCACTTTGTACAAGAAAGCTGGGTCAATCTTCAGATGCA GCTG-3′ (SEQ ID NO. 2) (with AttB2 recombination site in bold) which conferred Gateway recombination sites. The PCR product was used in a BP recombination reaction with pDONR221 to generate pENTR Thm-PDE10A2(S449-D789) which was DNA sequence verified and then used in an LR recombination reaction with a Gateway modified version of pET11a. The resulting expression vector, placT7.2H6-(gw1)-Thm-PDE10A2(S449-D789) was DNA sequence confirmed and transformed into E. coli strain BL21(DE3) pLysS and recombinant protein was produced in TB medium at 20° C. by induction to a final IPTG concentration of 0.5 mM at an optical density of 1.0 at 600 nm for 20 hours. About 30% of the protein was in the soluble fraction of the cell homogenate. The protein was purified using sequential chromatography on Ni-NTA and HiTrapQ/HiTrapS. After thrombin digest at room temperature a HiTrapChelating/HiTrap Benzamindin chromatography removed impurities, uncleaved protein and thrombin. Final purification of PDE10A2(S449-D789) was performed on a Superdex 75 size exclusion chromatography equilibrated with 25 mM HEPES pH 8.4, 0.15 M NaCl. The yield of pure protein was 2 mg/liter of culture volume is relatively low. The purity of the protein was >95%, monomeric and monodisperse as shown by SDS-PAGE, HPLC and analytical ultracentrifugation.


The compounds according to formula (I) preferably have an IC50 value below 10 μM, preferably below 5 μM, more preferably below 1 μM. Preferably, the IC50 values are above 0.01 nM. The following table shows data for some examples.

The present invention also encompasses pharmaceutical compositions of compounds of formula I and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, including pharmaceutical compositions for enteral, parenteral or topical administration. Such compositions can be administered, for example, perorally, e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragées, hard and soft gelatine capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions, rectally, e.g. in the form of suppositories, parenterally, e.g. in the form of injection solutions or suspensions or infusion solutions, or topically, e.g. in the form of ointments, creams or oils. Oral administration is preferred.


Pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared in a manner familiar to any person skilled in the art by bringing the described compounds of formula I and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, optionally in combination with other therapeutically valuable substances, into a galenical administration form together with suitable, non-toxic, inert, therapeutically compatible solid or liquid carrier materials and, if desired, usual pharmaceutical adjuvants.


Suitable carrier materials are not only inorganic carrier materials, but also organic carrier materials. Thus, for example, lactose, corn starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acid or its salts can be used as carrier materials for tablets, coated tablets, dragées and hard gelatine capsules. Suitable carrier materials for soft gelatine capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats and semi-solid and liquid polyols (depending on the nature of the active ingredient no carriers might, however, be required in the case of soft gelatine capsules). Suitable carrier materials for the production of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, sucrose, invert sugar and the like. Suitable carrier materials for injection solutions are, for example, water, alcohols, polyols, glycerol and vegetable oils. Suitable carrier materials for suppositories are, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats and semi-liquid or liquid polyols. Suitable carrier materials for topical preparations are glycerides, semi-synthetic and synthetic glycerides, hydrogenated oils, liquid waxes, liquid paraffins, liquid fatty alcohols, sterols, polyethylene glycols and cellulose derivatives.


Usual stabilizers, preservatives, wetting and emulsifying agents, consistency-improving agents, flavour-improving agents, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffer substances, solubilizers, colorants and masking agents and antioxidants come into consideration as pharmaceutical adjuvants.


The dosage at which compounds of formula I can be administered can vary within wide limits depending on the disease to be controlled, the age and the individual condition of the patient and the mode of administration, and will, of course, be fitted to the individual requirements in each particular case. For adult patients a daily dosage of about 0.1 to 2000 mg, especially about 1 to 500 mg, comes into consideration. Depending on severity of the disease and the precise pharmacokinetic profile the compound could be administered with one or several daily dosage units, e.g. in 1 to 3 dosage units.


The pharmaceutical compositions conveniently contain about 0.1-500 mg, preferably 1-200 mg, of a compound of formula I.


The following examples serve to illustrate the present invention in more detail. They are, however, not intended to limit its scope in any manner.
