Description

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.

Suec., (1978), 15, 67; H. Bittiger, J. Heid, U.S. Patent #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. ##STR8##

Phenylcyclohexanone, in the racemic or optically active form (Chima, 1986, 40,318, Organic Synthesis, 1990, Vol 69, 1) is reacted with an .alpha.-ketoacid, such as pyruvic acid, in an inert solvent, such as benzene or toluene, in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid. Water is removed by azeotropic distillation to give a compound of general formula 7 wherein R.sub.15 =(C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl.

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-butyllithium 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-butyl-lithium 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 1.2.

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.

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 and in Schemes IV-IX of the present invention. ##STR10##

Treatment of compound 25 with an alkali metal azide, in an alcohol or a polar aprotic solvent such as dimethylformamide, at from room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent, gives a compound of general formula 26. Compound 26 is treated with a reducing agent, such as zinc in acetic acid or wet triphenylphosphine, to give a compound of general formula 27. ##STR11##

The compounds of this invention are tested for cholinergic activity according to the following procedures.
[.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.

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 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.

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 use of the radioligand binding assays (.sup.3 H-QNB and .sup.3 H-CD) to characterize the hydroxylated oxotremorine derivatives provides a useful first approximation for the evaluation of the muscarinic agonist-like profile of a test compound. However, in using a prodrug methodology, intrinsic activity will not be observed until in vive hydrolysis or metabolism to the active compound occurs. Therefore, radioligand binding data, performed on the carbonyl derivatives, will not provide leading information. As a result, the observed overt effects after oral administration to rats of the test carbonyl derivative, relative to its corresponding hydroxylated oxotremorine compound, became the primary in vivo pharmacological measure. These in vivo overt effects are attributed to the peripheral acetylcholine-like effects of the compound, such as salivation, tremor and diarrhea. The overt effects also provided dosing information for the behavioral tests of cognitive improvement.
The passive avoidance procedure (Olton, D.; Wenk, G. Phychopharmacology: The Third Generation of Progress, ed. Meltzer, H. Y. Raven Press, New York 1987; Rusted, H. H.; Warburton, D. H. Neuropsychobiology 1989, 21, 31) is used as the primary behavioral model to measure potential memory enhansing effect of the compound. The test performed in rats uses the antagonism of atropine-induced deficits (12 mg/kg s.c.) in retention of a noxious consequence (foot shock). The behavioral test provides a reasonably rapid assessment that, in conjuction with the evaluation of side effects can serve as an initial basis for determining the likely potential of these compounds for clinical efficacy.
In the atropine disruption of the passive avoidance procedure, rats are injected s.c. with 12 mg/kg of atropine and placed into one side of a two-compartment chamber. The side into which the rats are placed is brightly illuminated. When the rat enters the darkened portion of the experimental chamber a guillotine door separating the two compartments is lowered and the rat receives a 3-sec 0.75 mA electric shock. Rats receiving saline under this procedure do not enter the darkened portion of the chamber when tested 24 hours following this initial experience, whereas rats receiving atropine enter the chamber with a very brief latency, similar to that obtained on the first exposure day. The test compounds are evaluated for their ability to reverse the passive avoidance deficits induced by atropine. For the atropine-reversal assessment, a range of doses of the test compounds is administered 50 minutes prior to the atropine, which is administered 20 minutes before the initial experimental session. Doses of the test compounds are suspended in methylcellulose and administered orally via a stainless steel feeding tube. The test session on day two is conducted without drug administration and without shock. The rat is allowed 3 minutes to enter the darkened portion of the chamber at which time it is removed. The latency (sec) to enter the darkened chamber on the second test day is the primary measure of the ability of the test compound to reverse atropine-induced deficits in the passive avoidance response. Compounds which produce a significant latency, when compared to the saline controls, are considered active.
In general, the carbonyl derivatives of the hydroxylated oxotremorines are orally active in the passive avoidance procedure at doses that are lower than those which produce corresponding cholinergic side effects. In those compounds where activity in the passive avoidance procedure is not noted, significant side effects are observed which are assumed to mask the desired pharmacological effect.

EXAMPLE 253
3-Cyclopentylpropionyl chloride
A solution of 1.0 g of oxalyl chloride in 15 ml of methylene chloride is added dropwise to a 0.degree. C. solution of 0.65 g of 3-cyclopentylpropionic acid in 15 ml of methylene chloride. The solution is allowed to warm to room temperature and is stirred for 6 hours. The solution is concentrated at reduced pressure, rediluted with 25 ml of methylene chloride and reconcentrated to give 3-cyclopentylpropionyl chloride.
EXAMPLE 254
2-Cyclopentylethyl isocyanate
The procedure is an adaptation of procedure in Org. Syn. Col. Vol. II, p 846, Col. Vol. VI, p 95. A solution of 0.65 g of 3-cyclopentylpropionyl chloride (Example 253) in 10 ml of acetone is added dropwise to a 0.degree. C. solution of 0.46 g of sodium azide in 5 ml of water When the addition is complete, stirring is continued for 1 hour. The mixture is extracted with toluene, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The toluene solution is added dropwise to 25 ml of toluene which is heated at reflux temperature. When the addition is complete, the reaction is refluxed until nitrogen evolution has ceased (ca 1 hour). The reaction is cooled and the resulting toluene solution of the corresponding isocyanate is then used as in Example 124, 119, 99, and all new examples.
