Substituted urea compounds and their preparation and use

The present invention relates to therapeutically active substituted urea compounds, a method of preparing the same, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and a method of treating therewith.
EP158265 and EP 235878 describes benzamides and substituted urea compounds having an azabicyclic side chain and possesing 5-HT antagonist activity.
A class of novel, structurally distinct compounds with higher 5HT.sub.3 - antagonist activity has now been discovered. These compounds have 5-HT.sub.3 -receptor antagonist activity, anti-emetic activity and/or gastric motility enhancing activity.
The present invention provides a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: ##STR3## wherein
R.sup.1 is a group of formula II, III or IV ##STR4## where n is 2 or 3, p is 1 or 2, q is 1 to 3, r is 1-3 and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are H,C.sub.1-7 alkyl or C.sub.3-6 cycloalkyl; and wherein R.sup.2 is an oxadiazole, substituted with C.sub.1-8 alkyl, C.sub.2-8 alkenyl, C.sub.2-8 alkynyl, C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl, benzyl, phenyl, C.sub.1-6 alkoxy, C.sub.1-6 alkylthio, amino or alkylamino; or
wherein R.sup.2 is --C--R.sup.6 .dbd.N--O'R.sup.7 wherein R.sup.6 is hydrogen or methyl and R.sup.7 is C.sub.1-6 alkyl which may be substituted with C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl;
and wherein R.sup.3 is hydrogen, halogen, nitro, substituted amines, trifluoromethyl, C.sub.1-6 alkyl or C.sub.1-6 alkoxy.
The invention also provides a process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which process comprises reacting a compound of formula V: ##STR5## with a compound of formula VI
J--R.sup.1
where R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 are as defined above.
R.sup.8 is COQ, where Q is a group displaceable by a nucleophile, .sup.8 and R.sup.9 together .dbd.C.dbd.O, or R.sup.8 is hydrogen (when R.sup.9 is hydrogen); and when R.sup.8 is COQ, or R.sup.8 --N--R.sup.9 is N.dbd.C.dbd.O, J is NH.sub.2, or a reactive derivative thereof or when R.sup.8 is hydrogen, J is a group containing an activated carbonyl group capable of forming a CO--N-linkage with the compound of formula (V).
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention may be formed conventionally. The acid addition salts may be formed for example by reaction of the base compound of formula (I) with a pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic acid.
Compounds of formula (I), which antagonise the effect of 5-HT at 5-HT.sub.3 receptors, are useful in the treatment of conditions such as psychotic disorders (e.g. schizophrenia and mania); anxiety; and nausea and vomiting, particularly that associated with cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Compounds of formula (I) are also useful in the treatment of gastric tasis; symptoms of gastrointestinal dysfunction such as occur with dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, reflux oesophagitis, flatulence and irritable bowel syndrome; migraine; and pain. Compounds of formula (I) may also be used in the treatment of dependency on drugs and substances of abuse, depression, and dementia and other cognitive disorders.
Unlike existing drug treatments for certain of the above conditions, the compounds of the invention, because of their high selectivity for 5-HT.sub.3 receptors, would not be expected to produce undesirable side effects. Thus, for example, neuroleptic drugs may cause extrapyramidal effects, such as tardive dyskinesia, and benzodiazepines may cause dependence.
According to another aspect, the invention provides a method of treatment of a human or animal subject suffering from a psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia or mania; or from anxiety; nausea or vomiting, particularly that associated with cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy; gastric stasis; symptoms of gastrointestinal dysfunction such as dyspepsia, reflux oesophagitis, peptic ulcer, flatulence and irritable bowel syndrome; migraine; pain; dependency on drugs or substances of abuse; depression; or dementia and other cognitive disorders which comprises administering an effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or a physiologically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.
Compounds of formula (I) were tested for their 5HT.sub.3 -antagonist activity using the following method:
Principle
5-HT produces contractions of the guinea pig ileum via 2 different receptors. 1) direct contractions via 5-HT.sub.2 receptors on the muscle, 2) indirect contractions via 5-HT.sub.3 recaptots on intrinsic gut neurones, producing acetylcholine release. By administering 5-HT to lengths of ileum in the presence of methysergide (to block 5-HT.sub.2 receptors) you can assay 5-HT.sub.3 receptor activity.
Method
Guinea pigs were killed by means of cervical dislocation the terminal 15 cm of ileum removed, and 1.5-2.0 cm lengths prepared and mounted in 10 ml organ baths containing calcium deficient tyrodes of the following composition (mM) NaCl (136.9); KCl (2.68); CaCl.sub.2 (0.9); MgCl.sub.2 (1.05); NaCO.sub.3 (11.9); NaH.sub.2 PO4 (0.42); glucose (5.55) and containing methysergide (10.sup.-6 M) maintained at 37.degree. C. and gassed with 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2. The mechanical activity of the muscle was measured by a HSE 351 isometric transducer connected via a HSE bridge amplifier to a potentiometric pen recorder. Resting tension was 1 g and the tissue left to equilibrate for 1 hour.
First a dose response curve is obtained to acetylcholine on each tissue. Then one tissue is incubated for 20 min with tyrode and three with tyrode plus the putative 5-HT.sub.3 antagonist. After this incubation dose response curves to 5-HT are constructed to 5-HT in all 4 tissues (one control 3+test drug). Contact time for 5-HT 30 sec.
Results
The maximum response to acetylcholine for each tissue is measured and the responses to 5-HT calculated as percentage maximum of the acetylcholine (Ach) maximum response in that tissue. The peak of the 5-HT response is measured.
For each tissue the concentration of 5-HT giving 100% of the maximum acetylcholine response (measured at 30 sac) is quoted.
The effect of a drug is quantified as the ratio of the concentration of 5-HT producing a 100% maximal Ach response in the presence and absence of the antagonist (dose ratio). The figure quoted is the concentration of the antagonist giving a dose ratio of 2, (A.sub.2).
