Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The disclosure generally relates to compounds of formula I, including their salts, as well as compositions and methods of using the compounds. The compounds inhibit GSK-3 and may be useful for the treatment of various disorders of the central nervous system.


GSK-3 is a proline directed serine/threonine kinase that carries out the phosphorylation of multiple protein substrates. Many of these proteins are involved in the regulation of numerous diverse cellular functions, including metabolism, differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. GSK-3 is constitutively active, with its base level of activity being positively modulated by phosphorylation on Tyr216/219, depending on isoform. GSK-3 has a unique substrate selectivity profile that is distinguished by the strong preference for the presence of a phosphorylated residue optimally located four amino acids C-terminal to the site of GSK-3 phosphorylation. Most commonly, GSK-3 activity is associated with inducing a loss of substrate function, such that GSK-3 inhibition will frequently result in increased downstream substrate activity.


GSK-3 exists in two isoforms, GSK-3α (51 kDa) and GSK-3β (47 kDa), that share 84% overall identity and greater than 98% identity within their respective catalytic domains. Both primary isoforms are ubiquitously expressed, with high levels observed in the brain, particularly in the cortex and hippocampus. In most brain areas, GSK-3β is the predominant isoform. However, some studies suggest that GKS-3α and GSK-3β share very similar, if not entirely redundant functions in a number of cellular processes. The activity of GSK-3β is significantly reduced by phosphorylation at Ser9 in the N-terminal domain, most notably by protein kinase B (PKB or AKT). This inhibitory pathway has been proposed to result in neuroprotection, neurogenesis, and favorable outcomes following pharmacological treatment in various mood disorders.


Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is prominently associated with the formation of beta-amyloid (Aβ) plaques, soluble forms of Aβ such as Aβ1-42 that are associated with increased neuronal toxicity, and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). There is evidence to suggest that certain pathological mechanisms in AD, such as Aβ1-42, cause increases in GSK-3 activity in the brain. A principal consequence of this dysregulation is the hyperphosphorylation of the microtubule associated protein tau. This function of GSK-3 has been demonstrated both in cell culture, and in in vivo studies looking at tau and NFT formation. Hyper-phosphorylated tau disengages from microtubules resulting in structural destabilization of microtubules with concomitant negative effects on intracellular structures and transport mechanisms. In addition, the uncomplexed hyperphosphorylated tau assembles into paired helical filaments (PHFs) that aggregate to produce the stereotypic intracellular NFTs associated with AD. Other potential pathological consequences of over-activation of GSK-3 include neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis. In addition, GSK-3 has been demonstrated to be involved in mechanisms underlying memory and learning, and dysregulation of GSK-3 function may explain some of the early cognitive deficits observed in AD.


GSK-3 is also known to play a key role in glucose metabolism, and was first identified as the enzyme responsible for effecting the inhibitory phosphorylation of glycogen synthase, the result of which is to reduce the rate of conversion of glucose to glycogen, giving rise to elevated blood glucose levels. This function of GSK-3 is controlled by insulin. Binding of insulin to its receptor leads indirectly to the activation of AKT and subsequent inhibitory Ser9 phosphorylation of GSK-3.


These results and observations suggest that modulation of GSK-3 activity may be useful in the treatment of both the neuropathologic and symptomatic aspects of Alzheimer's disease, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases. These include, but are not limited to, tauopathies (for example, frontotemporal dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy, argyophilic grain disease, corticobasal degeneration, Pick's disease), Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, stroke, Huntington's disease, peripheral neuropathies, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord trauma, and vascular dementias.


Compounds that inhibit GSK-3 may also have utility in the treatment of diabetes, inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, treatment-resistant depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, manic depression, osteoporosis, cardioprotection, and various cancers such as gliomas, non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, T- or B-cell leukemia, and multiple myeloma.

Compounds of Formula I can be synthesized through the following general scheme. Starting from either 2-chloro-isonicotinic acid or isonicotinic acid dichloride, reaction with many commercially available or prepared amines can afford 2-chloro-isonicotinamides of formula II. Reaction of Formula II compounds with various primary amides can afford Formula I compounds. Direct acylation of 2-amino-isonicotinic acid ester with various acyl chlorides followed by hydrolysis can afford the intermediate acids of Formula III, which after brief amide formation reaction with various amines, commercial or prepared, can also lead to the desired Formula I compounds.

Biological Methods

The kinase assay was performed in V-bottom 384-well plates. The final assay volume was 30 μl prepared from 15 μl additions of enzyme, substrates (fluoresceinated peptide FL-KRREILSRRP[ps]ERYR-NH2 and ATP) and test compounds in assay buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 25 mM Beta-Glycerolphosphate, 0.015% Brij35 and 0.25 mM DTT). The reaction was incubated at room temperature for 20 hours and terminated by adding 45 μl of 35 mM EDTA to each sample. The reaction mixture was analyzed on the Caliper LabChip3000 (Caliper, Hopkinton, Mass.) by electrophoretic separation of the unphosphorylated substrate and phosphorylated product. Inhibition data were calculated by comparison of the no enzyme control reactions for 100% inhibition and vehicle-only reactions for 0% inhibition. The final concentration of reagents in the assay were 250 pM GSK3α or GSK3β, 20 uM ATP, 1.5 uM FL-KRREILSRRP[ps]ERYR-NH2, and 1.6% DMSO. Dose response curves were generated to determine the concentration required to inhibit 50% of the kinase activity (IC50). Compounds were dissolved at 10 mM in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and evaluated at eleven concentrations. IC50 values were derived by non-linear regression analysis.

Pharmaceutical Compositions and Methods of Treatment

Compounds of formula I can be useful in treating neurological or psychiatric disorders. Therefore, another aspect of the invention is a composition comprising a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.


Another aspect of the invention is a method for the treatment of depression, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or neuropathic pain, which comprises administering to a patient a therapeutically affective amount of a compound of formula I.


Another aspect of the invention is a method for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease which comprises administering to a patient a therapeutically affective amount of a compound of formula I.


Another aspect of the invention is the use of a compound of formula I in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of neurological or psychiatric disorders.


Another aspect of the invention is the use of a compound of formula I in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of depression, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, neuropathic pain, or Parkinson's disease.


Another aspect of the invention is the use of a compound of formula I in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.


“Patient” means a person suitable for therapy as understood by practitioners in the field of affective disorders and neurodegenerative disorders.


“Treatment,” “therapy,” and related terms are used as understood by practitioners in the field of neurological and psychiatric disorders.


The compounds of this invention are generally given as pharmaceutical compositions comprised of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and may contain conventional excipients. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are those conventionally known carriers having acceptable safety profiles. Compositions encompass all common solid and liquid forms including for example capsules, tablets, losenges, and powders as well as liquid suspensions, syrups, elixers, and solutions. Compositions are made using common formulation techniques, and conventional excipients (such as binding and wetting agents) and vehicles (such as water and alcohols) are generally used for compositions. See, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 17th edition, 1985.


Solid compositions are normally formulated in dosage units and compositions providing from about 1 to 1000 mg of the active ingredient per dose are preferred. Some examples of dosages are 1 mg, 10 mg, 100 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg, and 1000 mg. Generally, other agents will be present in a unit range similar to agents of that class used clinically. Typically, this is 0.25-1000 mg/unit.


Liquid compositions are usually in dosage unit ranges. Generally, the liquid composition will be in a unit dosage range of 1-100 mg/mL. Some examples of dosages are 1 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL, 50 mg/mL, and 100 mg/mL. Generally, other agents will be present in a unit range similar to agents of that class used clinically. Typically, this is 1-100 mg/mL.


The invention encompasses all conventional modes of administration; oral and parenteral methods are preferred. Generally, the dosing regimen will be similar to other agents used clinically. Typically, the daily dose will be 1-100 mg/kg body weight daily. Generally, more compound is required orally and less parenterally. The specific dosing regime, however, will be determined by a physician using sound medical judgement.

2-(Cyclopropanecarboxamido)-N-(4-iodopyridin-3-yl)isonicotinamide

A 250 mL round-bottom flask was charged with 2-(cyclopropanecarboxamido)isonicotinic acid (776.5 mg, 3.77 mmol) in methylene chloride (30 mL) to give a white suspension. After cooling to 0° C., dimethylformamide (0.029 mL, 0.377 mmol) and oxalyl chloride (0.363 mL, 4.14 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 h. 4-Iodopyridin-3-amine (829 mg, 3.77 mmol) was added at 0° C., followed by triethylamine (2.1 mL, 15.06 mmol). The mixture became homogenous. It was then concentrated to give a tan oil. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 0-10% methanol/methylene chloride (containing 1% acetic acid), giving a tan solid (100%) which was used without further characterization.
