BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
The invention relates to compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and to the use of the compounds for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals.
A chronic deficiency in central cholinergic function has been implicated in a variety of neurologic and psychiatric disorders, including senile dementia of the Alzheimer's type (SDAT), tardive dyskinesia, Pick's disease and Huntington's chorea. Postmortem neurochemical investigations of patients with SDAT have demonstrated a reduction in presynaptic markers for acetylcholine utilizing neurons in the hippocampus and the cerebral cortex [P. Davies and A. J. R. Maloney, Lancet, 1976, 1403, (1976); E. K. Perry, R. H. Perry, G. Blessed, B. E. Tomlinson, J. Neurol. Sci., 34, 247, (1976)]. The basis for the cholinergic abnormality is unclear, but evidence suggests that the cholingergic neurons in the nucleus basalis of Meynert may selectively degenerate in SDAT [J. T. Coyle, D. J. Price, M. R. DeLong, Science, 219, 1184, (1983)]. If this degeneration plays a role in behavior symptoms of the disease, then a possible treatment strategy would be to compensate for the loss of cholinergic output to the cortex and hippocampus.
In an aged monkey animal model, designed to mimic the symptoms of SDAT, the direct muscarinic agonists arecoline [R. T. Bartus, R. L. Dean, B. Beer, Neurobiology of Aging, 1, 145, (1980)] and oxotremorine [R. T. Bartus, R. L. Dean, B. Beer, Psychopharmacology Bulletin, 19, 168, (1983)] produced significant improvement in performance. These results in aged monkeys were corroborated in SDAT patients with arecoline which produced a more consistent improvement when compared to the anticholinergic inhibitor physostigmine [J. E. Christie, A. Shering, J. Ferguson, A. M. Glen, British Journal of Psychiatry, 138, 46, (1981)].
These animal behavioral and clinical results have instigated significant efforts in a search for a muscarinic agonist which will selectively compensate for the loss of cholinergic input in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. However, the search must be refined to seek agonists which will not affect significantly the remaining body cholinergic functions. The recent disclosure that muscarinic receptors are not all the same but exist as a heterogeneous population of receptors substantiates the possibility for the discovery of a selective muscarinic agonist [T. I. Bonner, N. J. Buckley, A. C. Young, M. R. Brann, Science, 237, 527, (1987)].
The methodical methylation of the muscarinic agonist oxotremorine and its derivatives has been studied in the search for a selective muscarinic agonist [B. Ringdahl, J. Med. Chem. 31, 683, (1988); B. Ringdahl, "Structural Determinants of Muscarinic Agonist Activity" The Muscarinic Receptors, J. H. Brown Ed., The Humana Press, Clifton, N.J., 1989, 151]. The methodical substitution of a methyl group onto oxotremorine can probe the steric non-polar environment of the muscarinic agonist for its neurotransmitter-receptor-complex.
The present invention describes the preparation of oxotremorine derivatives having polar substituted oxygen and substituted sulfur groups. This series of compounds goes beyond the initial study by Ringdall. In addition to exploring the steric environment of the muscarinic agonist for its neurotransmitter complex, the compounds of the present invention probe possible auxiliary polar interactions with one of the muscarinic receptors.

SCHEME I
In accordance with Scheme I, the diamines of general formula 4 and 5 are prepared by a modification of previously described methods [U. Swenson, U. Hacksell, R. Dahlboom. Acta Pharm. Suec., (1978), 15, 67; H. Bittiger, J. Heid, U.S. Pat. No. 3,354,178 (1967)]. The advantage, over the published procedures, is the mild conditions used to remove the trifluoroacetamide protecting group.
Propargylamine is treated with trifluoroacetic acid anhydride in a solvent such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or methylene chloride to afford trifluoroacetamide 2. Compound 2 is reacted with paraformaldehyde, acetic or propanoic acid, cuprous halide and a secondary amine such as pyrrolidine, dimethylamine, piperidine, (R)-3-acetoxypyrroldine or (S)-2-[[(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilyl]oxy]methylpyrrolidine in a ethereal solvent such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane at the reflux temperature of the solvent to give the amine of general formula 3. A compound of general formula 3 is reacted in an alcohol solvent such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol containing a mineral acid to produce a diamine of general formula 4. When compounds of general formula 3 contain an acid labile group, such as (S)-2-[[(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilyl]oxy]methylpyrrolidine, treatment with sodium borohydride in an alcohol solvent gives diamines of general formula 5. ##STR6##

C. followed by the addition of a 4-pentenoic acid chloride to give compounds of general formula 11. Reacting compounds of general formula 10 with a lower alkyllithium reagent, such as n-butyilithium or t-butyllithium, in an inert solvent, such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran, at -78.degree. C.; followed by the addition of a 2-propenyl halide and warming to -20.degree. C. gives products of general formula 12. Alternately, reacting compounds of general formula 11 with a lower alkyllithium reagent, such as n-butyllithium or t-butyllithium, in an inert solvent, such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran, at -78.degree. C.; followed by the addition of a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl halide and warming to -20.degree. C. gives compounds of general formula 12. The addition of compounds of general formula 12 to a solution of a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl alcohol or phenylmethyl alcohol and an alkyllithium reagent in an ether solvent, such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran, at 0.degree. C. gives compounds of general formula 13.
Compounds of general formula 17, wherein R.sub.16 =(C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl and the other is hydrogen, are prepared by the procedure of A. V. Rama Rao et. al., Tetrahedron Letters, 1988, 29, 2069.

Ester 15 is subjected to saponification, using potassium hydroxide in a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl alcohol, such as ethyl alcohol; followed by acidification, with a mineral acid; and decarboxylation by distillation to give the racemic acid 16. Reacting compound 15 with thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride; followed by the addition of a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkyl alcohol, such as ethyl alcohol, or an arylmethyl alcohol, such as benzyl alcohol, gives the racemic ester 17.
As cited in the reference, the racemic acid may be resolved by reacting the product of treatment with thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride with a resolving agent, such as L-phenylalaninol.
Compounds 8, 13 and 17 are of general formula 18, where p is as previously described. ##STR7##
SCHEME III
In accordance with Scheme III compounds of general formula 18 prepared in accordance with Scheme II are reacted with compounds of general formulas 4, 5 prepared in accordance with Scheme I to ultimately yield the compounds of the present invention. Accordingly, compound of general formula 18 is treated with a stream of ozone at -78.degree. C. in methylene chloride or a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alcohol, such as methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol. The resulting solution is treated with a reducing agent, like a thioether, such as dimethylsulfide, a phosphine, such as triphenylphosphine, or zinc and acetic acid, to obtain an aldehyde of the general formula 19. An aldehyde of general formula 19 is reacted with a diamine of general formula 4 or 5 prepared as in Scheme I and sodium cyanoborohydride, in an alcohol solvent, such as methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol containing a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkylcarboxylic acid or a strong mineral acid to maintain an acidic pH, to give an aminoester of general formula 20. A compound of general formula 20 is converted to a lactam of general formula 21 by stirring at room temperature or heating at the reflux temperature of the alcohol solvent, such as methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol, in the presence of an alkalimetal carbonate.
A compound of general formula 21, wherein R.sub.3 ' or R.sub.4 ' is not hydroxyl, is reacted at room temperature with cyanogen bromide in an ether solvent, such as diethyl ether, to give a compound of general formula 22. When a compound of general formula 21 contains a free hydroxyl, (i.e., R.sub.3 ' or R.sub.4 '=hydroxyl), it is necessary to protect the hydroxyl group, for example as a silyl ether, by reacting the free hydroxyl with a trialkylsilyl chloride, such as t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride, and a trialkylamine, such as triethylamine, in an inert solvent, such as methylene chloride, before the compound is treated with cyanogen bromide. A compound of general formula 22 is treated with a secondary amine, such as pyrrolidine, dimethylamine, piperidine, (R)-3-acetoxypyrrolidine, (R)-[[(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilyl]oxy]pyrrolidine or (S)-2-[[[(1,1-dimethyethyl)dimethylsilyl]oxy]methy]pyrrolidine to give a compound of general formula 23, where the protecting groups are retained. Removal of the silyloxy protecting group is achieved by treatment of the silylether with mineral acid or fluoride ion in an alcohol solvent. A compound of general formula 21 can be converted to a compound of general formula 23 using the procedures described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,937,235. ##STR8##

[.sup.3 H] Quinuclidinyl Benzilate Binding Assay
This assay is utilized in conjunction with the .sup.3 H-Cis-methyldioxolane binding assay to evaluate antagonist and high affinity agonist binding properties of CNS cholinergic agents. The procedure Was adapted from Watson, M., Yamamura, H. I., and Roeske, W. R., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 237: 411-418 (1986) and Watson, M., Roeske, W. R., and Yamamura, H. I., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 237: 419-427 (1986).
Tissue Preparation
Rats are sacrificed by decapitation and the brain removed and placed on ice. The cerebral cortex is dissected on a cold stage, weighed and homogenized (Polytron, setting 5.5 with PT-10 saw-tooth generator for 15 seconds) in 50 volumes (wet wt/vol) of ice-cold 10 mM (8.1 mM Na.sub.2 HPO.sub.4, 1.9 mM KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4) sodium-potassium phosphate buffer (NaKPB), pH 7.4. The homogenate is placed in an ice bath for 30 seconds and homogenized again as above. This procedure is repeated once again for a total of three times. The resulting homogenate is then diluted 1:3000 (original wet wt/vol) with ice-cold NaKPB for use in the assay. The final protein content per 2.0 ml of incubation mixture is 0.1 mg.
Dilution of Compounds
A stock solution of Atropine is prepared at 0.2 mM to define non-specific binding (1 .mu.M final conc). Test compounds are prepared at 40 mM (final conc 1 mM) in buffer (if water soluble) or in absolute ethanol--1N HCl (1:1, v/v) and serially diluted to the desired concentrations. In general, dose-response profiles are examined between 1 mM and 1 pM final concentrations.
Preparation of .sup.3 H-QNB
.sup.3 H-QNB (NEN, NET-656; specific activity=30.0 Ci/mmol) is diluted to 5 nM, with NaPB (final concentration=0.25 nM activity 18,000 cpm at a counting efficiency of 55%).

Components are added in the following order: test compound, radioligand, buffer or tissue to give a final volume of 2.0 ml. After adding the tissue homogenate, the tubes are thoroughly mixed and incubated at 25.degree. C. for 120 minutes. At the end of 120 minutes, the samples are filtered through GF/B glass fiber filters (Whatman) using a 24 sample cell harvester (Brandel) under a vacuum of 15 mm Hg. The tubes are washed with 5.times.3 ml ice-cold NaKPB. The filters are then placed in scintillation vials with 10 ml of scintillation cocktail (Beckman HP or HP/B), allowed to stand overnight, shaken and then counted. Specific binding is calculated as Total--NS (non-specific). The percent inhibition of specific binding is then calculated and the Ki values computed using either the LIGAND or LUNDON software packages for competition binding. The results of this test on representative compounds of this invention appear in Table I.
[.sup.3 H]-Cis-methyldioxolane Binding Assay (High Affinity)
This assay is utilized in conjunction with .sup.3 H-QNB binding to evaluate high affinity agonist binding and antagonist properties of CNS cholinergic agents. The procedure was adapted from Vickroy, T. W., Roeske, W. R, and Yamamura, H. I, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 229: 747-755 (1984). This is a rapid filtration assay that is set up to label only the high affinity agonist conformation of the muscarinic cholinergic receptor.
Tissue Preparation
Rats are sacrificed by decapitation and the brain removed and placed on ice. The cerebral cortex is dissected on a cold stage, weighed and homogenized (Polytron, setting 5.5 with PT-10 saw-tooth generator for 15 seconds) in 50 volumes (wet wt/vol) of ice-cold 10 mM (8.1 mM Na.sub.2 HPO.sub.4, 1.9 mM KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4) sodium-potassium phosphate buffer (NaKPB), pH 7.4. The homogenate is placed in an ice bath for 30 seconds and homogenized again as above. This procedure is repeated once again for a total of three times. The resulting homogenate is then diluted 1:3000 (original wet wt/vol) with ice-cold NaKPB for use in the assay. The final protein content per 2.0 ml of incubation mixture is 0.1 mg.
Dilution of Compounds
A stock solution of Atropine is prepared at 0.2 mM to define non-specific binding (1 .mu.M final conc). Test compounds are prepared at 40 mM (final conc 1 mM) in buffer (if water soluble) or in absolute ethanol--1N HCl (1:1, v/v) and serially diluted to the desired concentrations. In general, dose-response profiles are examined between 1 mM and 1 pM final concentrations.
Preparation of .sup.3 H-CD
.sup.3 H-CD (NEN, NET-647; specific activity=55.5 Ci/mmol) is diluted to 20 nM with NaPB (final conc=1.0 nM, activity .about.75,000 cpm at a counting efficiency of 55%).
Technical Notes
.sup.3 H-CD adheres readily to both glass and plastic surfaces. To eliminate this problem (and the chance for introducing artifacts into the results), stock vials, pipette tips and all glass tubes are routinely treated with Prosil-28, a siliconizing agent, and oven dried prior to use in an assay. Additionally, the GF/B glass fiber filters are pre-soaked in an aqueous polyethylenimine (PEI) solution (0.1%, pH 7.0) prior to use.
All points in the inhibition curve (including total and non-specific binding)are always measured on single PEI treated filter strips to minimize filter-to-filter variability. (See Bruns, R. F., et al. Anal. Biochem. 132: 74-81 (1983) for the use of PEI treated filters in filtration receptor assays).
The .sup.3 H-CD is prepared fresh in buffer just prior to use in the assay to avoid possible decomposition. It should be kept on an ice bath after dilution in buffer.

Components are added in the following order: test compound, radioligand, buffer or tissue to give a final volume of 2.0 ml. After adding the tissue homogenate, the tubes are thoroughly mixed and incubated at 25.degree. C. for 120 minutes. At the end of 120 minutes, the samples are filtered through GF/B glass fiber filters (Whatman) using a 24 sample cell harvester (Brandel) under a vacuum of 15 mm Hg. The tubes are washed with 5.times.3 ml ice-cold NaKPB. The filters are then placed in scintillation vials with 10 ml of scintillation cocktail (Beckman HP or HP/B), allowed to stand overnight, shaken and then counted. Specific binding is calculated as Total-NS (non-specific). The percent inhibition of specific binding is then calculated and the Ki values computed using either the LIGAND or LUNDON software packages for competition binding. The results of this test on representative compounds of this invention appear in Table I.

Those compounds which have .sup.3 H-CD and .sup.3 H-QNB Ki values of less than 100 .mu.M are considered active. The compounds tested can be divided into 3 categories:
1. compounds which are products or therapeutic agents;
2. compounds which are a prodrug form of the products or therapeutic agents and
3. compounds which are reaction intermediates.
The term prodrug signifies a compound which is to some degree chemically and biochemically labile. When the prodrug is metabolized in the body, the active product or therapeutic agent is released or unmasked.
The pharmaceutical preparations of the present invention may contain, for example, from about 0.5% up to about 90% of the active ingredient in combination with the carrier, more usually between 5% and 60% by weight.
The effective dosage of active ingredient employed may vary with the particular compound employed, the mode of administration, and the severity of the condition being treated. In general, however, satisfactory results are obtained when the compounds of the invention are administered at a daily dosage of from about 0.02 mg to about 100 mg/kg of patient body weight, preferably given in divided doses two to four times a day, or in sustained release form. For most patients, the total daily dosage is from about 1 mg to about 5,000 mg, preferably from about 1 mg to 20 mg. Dosage forms suitable for internal use comprise from about 0.25 to 5.0 mg of the active compound in intimate admixture with a solid or liquid pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimal therapeutic response. For example, several divided doses may be administered daily or the dose may be proportionally reduced as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation.
A decided practical advantage is that these active compounds may be administered orally as well as by intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous routes if necessary. Solid carriers include starch, lactose, dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, sucrose, and kaolin, while liquid carriers include sterile water, polyethylene glycols, non-ionic surfactants, and edible oils such as corn, peanut, and sesame oils, as are appropriate to the nature of the active ingredient and the particular form of administration desired. Adjuvants customarily employed in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions may be advantageously included, such as flavoring agents, coloring agents, and antioxidants, e.g., vitiamin E, ascorbic acid, BHT and BHA.
The preferred pharmaceutical compositions from the standpoint of ease of preparation and administration are solid compositions, particularly tablets and hard-filled or liquid-filled capsules. Oral administration of the compounds is preferred.
These active compounds may also be administered parenterally or intraperitoneally. Solutions or suspensions of these active compounds as a free base or pharmacologically acceptable salt can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exits. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils.
As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents and the like. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in therapeutic compositions is contemplated.
The following examples describe in detail the chemical synthesis of representative compounds of the present invention. The procedures are illustrations, and the invention should not be construed as being limited by chemical reactions and conditions they express. No attempt has been made to optimize the yields obtained in these reactions, and it would be obvious to one skilled in the art that variations in reaction times, temperatures, solvents, and/or reagents could increase the yields.

EXAMPLE 1
2,2,2-Trifluoro-N-2-propynlacetamide
To a stirring 0.degree. C. solution of 15.0 g of propargylamine in 200 ml of methylene chloride is added, dropwise, a solution of 63.0 g of trifluoroacetic anhydride in 50 ml of methylene chloride. The reaction is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour followed by the addition of 100 ml of water. The mixture is washed with 150 ml of 1N hydrochloric acid and 150 ml of saturated sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer is dried, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is distilled under vacuum (0.2 mm Hg) at 40.degree. C. to give 32.1 g of the desired product as a colorless oil.
EXAMPLE 2
2,2,2-Trifluoro-N-[4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-2-butynyl]acetamide monohydrochloride
A mixture of 50.0 g of product from Example 1, 47.1 g of pyrrolidine, 24.9 g of paraformaldehyde, 50 ml of glacial acetic acid, 0.5 g of cuprous chloride and 500 ml of dry dioxane is heated at reflux temperature for 20 minutes. The reaction mixture is concentrated in vacuo and made basic to pH 10-11 with concentrated ammonium hydroxide. The aqueous layer is extracted with methylene chloride. The combined organic extracts are dried over sodium sulfate, filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is distilled under vacuum (0.3 mm Hg) at 110.degree.-120.degree. C. to give the desired product as a yellow oil. Eight grams of oil is dissolved in 1N methanolic hydrogen chloride. The resulting solid is collected and recrystallized from methyl alcohol/diethyl ether to give 1.7 g of the desired product as the monohydrochloride.
MP 125.degree.-127.degree. C.
Following the general procedure of Example 2 and using 2,2,2-trifluoro-N-2-propynylacetamide (Example 1), the products of Examples 3-5, found in Table II, are prepared.
