Description

The present invention relates to novel thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and furo[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives and their use in therapy. In particular, the present invention relates to the treatment of disorders in which the reduction of purinergic neurotransmission could be beneficial. The invention relates in particular to adenosine receptors and particularly adenosine A 2A receptors, and to the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

Movement disorders constitute a serious health problem, especially amongst the elderly sector of the population. These movement disorders are often the result of brain lesions. Disorders involving the basal ganglia which result in movement disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's chorea and Wilson's disease. Furthermore, dyskinesias often arise as sequelae of cerebral ischaemia and other neurological disorders.

There are four classic symptoms of Parkinson's disease: tremor, rigidity, akinesia and postural changes. The disease is also commonly associated with depression, dementia and overall cognitive decline. Parkinson's disease has a prevalence of 1 per 1,000 of the total population. The incidence increases to 1 per 100 for those aged over 60 years. Degeneration of dopaminergic neurones in the substantia nigra and the subsequent reductions in interstitial concentrations of dopamine in the striatum are critical to the development of Parkinson's disease. Some 80% of cells from the substantia nigra need to be destroyed before the clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease are manifested.

Current strategies for the treatment of Parkinson's disease are based on transmitter replacement therapy (L-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (L-DOPA)), inhibition of monoamine oxidase (e.g. Deprenyl®), dopamine receptor agonists (e.g. bromocriptine and apomorphine) and anticholinergics (e.g. benztrophine, orphenadrine). Transmitter replacement therapy in particular does not provide consistent clinical benefit, especially after prolonged treatment when “on-off” symptoms develop, and this treatment has also been associated with involuntary movements of athetosis and chores, nausea and vomiting. Additionally current therapies do not treat the underlying neurodegenerative disorder resulting in a continuing cognitive decline in patients. Despite new drug approvals, there is still a medical need in terms of improved therapies for movement disorders, especially Parkinson's disease. In particular, effective treatments requiring less frequent dosing, effective treatments which are associated with less severe side-effects, and effective treatments which control or reverse the underlying neurodegenerative disorder, are required.

Blockade of A 2 adenosine receptors has recently been implicated in the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (Richardson, P. J. et al., Trends Pharmacol. Sci . 1997, 18, 338-344) and in the treatment of cerebral ischaemia (Gao, Y. and Phillis, J. W., Life Sci . 1994, 55, 61-65). The potential utility of adenosine A 2A receptor antagonists in the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson's Disease has recently been reviewed (Mally, J. and Stone, T. W., CNS Drugs , 1998, 10, 311-320).

Adenosine is a naturally occurring purine nucleoside which has a wide variety of well-documented regulatory functions and physiological effects. The central nervous system (CNS) effects of this endogenous nucleoside have attracted particular attention in drug discovery, owing to the therapeutic potential of purinergic agents in CNS disorders (Jacobson, K. A. et al., J. Med. Chem . 1992, 35, 407-422). This therapeutic potential has resulted in considerable recent research endeavour within the field of adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists (Bhagwhat, S. S.; Williams, M. Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents 1995, 5,547-558).

Adenosine receptors represent a subclass (P 1 ) of the group of purine nucleotide and nucleoside receptors known as purinoreceptors. The main pharmacologically distinct adenosine receptor subtypes are known as A 1 , A 2A , A 2B (of high and low affinity) and A 3 (Fredholm, B. B., et al., Pharmacol. Rev . 1994, 46, 143-156). The adenosine receptors are present in the CNS (Fredholm, B. B., News Physiol. Sci ., 1995, 10, 122-128).

The design of P 1 receptor-mediated agents has been reviewed (Jacobson, K. A., Suzuki, F., Drug Dev. Res ., 1997, 39, 289-300; Baraldi, P. G. et al., Curr. Med. Chem . 1995, 2, 707-722), and such compounds are claimed to be useful in the treatment of cerebral ischemia or neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (Williams, M. and Burnstock, G. Purinergic Approaches Exp. Ther . (1997), 3-26. Editor: Jacobson, Kenneth A.; Jarvis, Michael F. Publisher: Wiley-Liss, New York, N.Y.)

The pharmacology of adenosine A 2A receptors has been reviewed (Ongini, E.; Fredholm, B. B. Trends Pharmacol. Sci . 1996, 17(10), 364-372). One potential underlying mechanism in the aforementioned treatment of movement disorders by the blockade of A 2 adenosine receptors is the evidence of a functional link between adenosine A 2A receptors to dopamine D 2 receptors in the CNS. Some of the early studies (e.g. Ferre, S. et al., Stimulation of high-affinity adenosine A 2 receptors decreases the affinity of dopamine D 2 receptors in rat striatal membranes. Proc. Nal. Acad. Sci. U.S.A . 1991, 88, 7238-41) have been summarised in two more recent articles (Fuxe, K. et al., Adenosine Adenine Nucleotides Mol. Biol. Integr. Physiol ., [Proc. Int. Symp.], 5th (1995), 499-507. Editors: Belardinelli, Luiz; Pelleg, Amir. Publisher: Kluwer, Boston, Mass.; Ferre, S. et al., Trends Neurosci . 1997, 20, 482-487).

As a result of these investigations into the functional role of adenosine A 2A receptors in the CNS, especially in vivo studies linking A 2 receptors with catalepsy (Ferre et al., Neurosci. Lett . 1991, 130, 162-4; Mandhane, S. N. et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol . 1997, 328, 135-141) investigations have been made into agents which selectively bind to adenosine A 2A receptors as potentially effective treatments for Parkinson's disease.

While many of the potential drugs for treatment of Parkinson's disease have shown benefit in the treatment of movement disorders, an advantage of adenosine A 2A antagonist therapy is that the underlying neurodegenerative disorder may also be treated. The neuroprotective effect of adenosine A 2A antagonists has been reviewed (Ongini, E.; Adami, M.; Ferri, C.; Bertorelli, R., Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci . 1997, 825(Neuroprotective Agents), 30-48).

Xanthine derivatives have been disclosed as adenosine A 2 receptor antagonists as useful for treating various diseases caused by hyperfunctioning of adenosine A 2 receptors, such as Parkinson's disease (see, for example, EP-A-565377).

One prominent xanthine-derived adenosine A 2A selective antagonist is CSC [8-(3-chlorostyryl)caffeine] (Jacobson et al., FEBS Lett ., 1993, 323, 141-144).

Theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine), a bronchodilator drug which is a mixed antagonist at adenosine A 1 and A 2A receptors, has been studied clinically. To determine whether a formulation of this adenosine receptor antagonist would be of value in Parkinson's disease an open trial was conducted on 15 Parkinsonian patients, treated for up to 12 weeks with a slow release oral theophylline preparation (150 mg/day), yielding serum theophylline levels of 4.44 mg/L after one week. The patients exhibited significant improvements in mean objective disability scores and 11 reported moderate or marked subjective improvement (Mally, J., Stone, T. W. J. Pharm. Pharmacol . 1994, 46, 515-517).

KF 17837 [(E)-8-(3,4-dimethoxystyryl)-1,3-dipropyl-7-methylxanthine] is a selective adenosine A 2A receptor antagonist which on oral administration significantly ameliorated the cataleptic responses induced by intracerebroventricular administration of an adenosine A 2A receptor agonist, CGS 21680. KF 17837 also reduced the catalepsy induced by haloperidol and reserpine. Moreover, KF 17837 potentiated the anticataleptic effects of a subthreshold dose of L-DOPA plus benserazide, suggesting that KF 17837 is a centrally active adenosine A 2A receptor antagonist and that the dopaminergic function of the nigrostriatal pathway is potentiated by adenosine A 2A receptor antagonists (Kanda, T. et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol . 1994, 256, 263-268). The structure activity relationship (SAR) of KF 17837 has been published (Shimada, J. et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett . 1997, 7, 2349-2352). Recent data has also been provided on the A 2A receptor antagonist KW-6002 (Kuwana, Y et al., Soc. Neurosci. Absir . 1997, 23, 119.14; and Kanda, T. et al., Ann. Neurol . 1998, 43(4), 507-513).

New non-xanthine structures sharing these pharmacological properties include SCH 58261 and its derivatives (Baraldi, P. G. et al., Pyrazolo[4,3-e]-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine Derivatives: Potent and Selective A 2A Adenosine Antagonists. J. Med. Chem . 1996, 39, 1164-71). SCH 58261 (7-(2-phenylethyl)-5-amino-2-(2-furyl)-pyrazolo-[4,3-e]-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine) is reported as effective in the treatment of movement disorders (Ongini, E. Drug Dev. Res . 1997, 42(2), 63-70) and has been followed up by a later series of compounds (Baraldi, P. G. et al., J. Med. Chem . 1998, 41(12), 2126-2133).

The foregoing discussion indicates that a potentially effective treatment for movement disorders in humans would comprise agents which act as antagonists at adenosine A 2A receptors.

It has now been found that novel thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and furo[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives, which are structurally unrelated to known adenosine receptor antagonists, exhibit unexpected antagonist binding affinity at adenosine (P 1 ) receptors, and in particular at the adenosine A 2A receptor. Such compounds may therefore be useful for the treatment of disorders in which the blocking of purine receptors, particularly adenosine receptors and more particularly adenosine A 2A receptors, may be beneficial. In particular such compounds may be suitable for the treatment of movement disorders, such as disorders of the basal ganglia which result in dyskinesias. These may include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, spasticity, Huntington's chorea and Wilson's disease.

Nos.: 3,845,770; 3,916,899; 3,536,809; 3,598,123; 3,630,200; 4,008,719; 4,687,660; and 4,769,027, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

Pharmaceutical compositions employed in the present invention suitable for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets, or tablets, or aerosol sprays each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient as a powder or granules, a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid, an oil-in-water emulsion, or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. Such compositions may be prepared by any of the methods of pharmacy, but all methods include the step of bringing the active ingredient into association with the carrier which constitutes one or more necessary ingredients. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired presentation.

For example, a tablet may be prepared by compression or moulding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, a lubricant, an inert diluent, and/or a surface active or dispersing agent. Moulded tablets may be made by moulding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent.

The invention is further defined by reference to the following examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many modifications, both to materials and methods, may be practised without departing from the purpose and interest of this invention.

Synthetic Methods

Method A

Phenyl 2-trifluoromethylthieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-ylmethanone (Example 1)

A suspension of 4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylthieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine (0.3 g, 1.26 mmol), benzaldehyde (0.28 g, 2.64 mmol) and N,N-dimethylimidazolium iodide (0.2 g, 0.89 mmol) in THF (8 mL) was treated with NaH (60% dispersion in oil, 0.112 g, 2.8 mmol), refluxed for 15 min, cooled to room temperature, treated with water (4 mL) and the organic phase separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with CH 2 Cl 2 (2×20 mL), the combined organic phase washed with brine (10 mL), dried (MgSO 4 ), concentrated in vacuo and the resulting brown oil purified by chromatography [SiO 2 ; heptane-EtOAc (3:1)] then recrystallised from heptane to give the title compound (280 mg, 43%) as yellow needles.

Method B

α-Phenyl-2-trifluoromethylthieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-4-acetonitrile (Example 16)

A suspension of NaH (60% dispersion in oil, 60 mg, 1.5 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) and toluene (15 mL) at room temperature was treated with phenylacetonitrile (0.16 g, 1.37 mmol), stirred for 10 min, treated with a solution of 4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylthieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine (0.3 g, 126 mmol) in DMF (2 mL), stirred for 15 min, treated with water (5 mL) and the phases separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL), the combined organic phase washed with water (3×10 mL), brine (10 mL), dried (MgSO 4 ), concentrated in vacuo and the resulting orange oily solid crystallised from heptane to give the title compound (0.1 g, 25%) as a gold solid.

Evaluation of Potential Anti-Parkinsonian Activity In Vivo

Haloperidol-induced Hypolocomotion Model

It has previously been demonstrated that adenosine antagonists, such as theophylline, can reverse the behavioural depressant effects of dopamine antagonists, such as haloperidol, in rodents (Mandhane S. N. et al., Adenosine A 2 receptors modulate haloperidol-induced catalepsy in rats. Eur. J. Pharmacol . 1997, 328, 135-141). This approach is also considered a valid method for screening drugs with potential antiparkinsonian effects. Thus, the ability of novel adenosine antagonists to block haloperidol-induced deficits in locomotor activity in mice can be used to assess both in vivo and potential antiparkinsonian efficacy.

Method

Female TO mice (25-30 g) obtained from TUCK, UK, are used for all experiments. Animals are housed in groups of 8 [cage size—40 (width)×40 (length)×20 (height)cm] under 12 hr light/dark cycle (lights on 08:00 hr), in a temperature (20±2° C.) and humidity (55±15%) controlled environment. Animals have free access to food and water, and are allowed at least 7 days to acclimatize after delivery before experimental use.

Drugs

Liquid injectable haloperidol (1 ml Serenance ampoules from Baker Norton, Harlow, Essex, each containing haloperidol BP 5 mg, batch # P424) are diluted to a final concentration of 0.02 mg/ml using saline. Test compounds are typically prepared as aqueous suspensions in 8% Tween. All compounds are administered intraperitoneally in a volume of 10 ml/kg.

Procedure

1.5 hours before testing, mice are administered 0.2 mg/kg haloperidol, a dose that reduces baseline locomotor activity by at least 50%. Test substances are typically administered 5-60 minutes prior to testing. The animals are then placed individually into clean, clear polycarbonate cages [20 (width)×40 (length)×20 (height) cm, with a flat perforated, Perspex lid]. Horizontal locomotor activity is determined by placing the cages within a frame containing a 3×6 array of photocells linked to a computer, which tabulates beam breaks. Mice are left undisturbed to explore for 1 hour, and the number of beams breaks made during this period serves as a record of locomotor activity which is compared with data for control animals for statistically significant differences. In this model, Example 86, administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 10 mg/kg, significantly reversed haloperidol-induced hypolocomotion.

6-OHDA Model

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised by symptoms of muscle rigidity, tremor, paucity of movement (hypokinesia), and postural instability. It has been established for some time that the primary deficit in PD is a loss of dopaminergic neurones in the substantia nigra which project to the striatum, and indeed a substantial proportion of striatal dopamine is lost (ca 80-85%) before symptoms are observed. The loss of striatal dopamine results in abnormal activity of the basal ganglia, a series of nuclei which regulate smooth and well coordinated movement (Blandini F. et al., Glutamate and Parkinson's Disease. Mol. Neurobiol . 1996, 12, 73-94). The neurochemical deficits seen in Parkinson's disease can be reproduced by local injection of the dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine into brain regions containing either the cell bodies or axonal fibres of the nigrostriatal neurones.

By unilaterally lesioning the nigrostriatal pathway on only one-side of the brain, a behavioural asymmetry in movement inhibition is observed. Although unilaterally-lesioned animals are still mobile and capable of self maintenance, the remaining dopamine-sensitive neurones on the lesioned side become supersenstive to stimulation. This is demonstrated by the observation that following systemic administration of dopamine agonists, such as apomorphine, animals show a pronounced rotation in a direction contralateral to the side of lesioning. The ability of compounds to induce contralateral rotations in 6-OHDA lesioned rats has proven to be a sensitive model to predict drug efficacy in the treatment of Parkinson's Disease.

Animals

Male Sprague-Dawley rats, obtained from Charles River, are used for all experiments. Animals are housed in groups of 5 under 12 hr light/dark cycle (lights on 08:00 hr), in a temperature (20±2° C.) and humidity (55±15%) controlled environment. Animals have free access to food and water, and are allowed at least 7 days to acclimatize after delivery before experimental use.

Drugs

Ascorbic acid, desipramine, 6-OHDA and apomorphine (Sigma-Aldrich, Poole, UK). 6-OHDA is freshly prepared as a solution in 0.2% ascorbate at a concentration of 4 mg/mL prior to surgery. Desipramine is dissolved in warm saline, and administered in a volume of 1 ml/kg. Apomorphine is dissolved in 0.02% ascorbate and administered in a volume of 2 mL/kg. Test compounds are suspended in 8% Tween and injected in a volume of 2 mL/kg.

Surgery

15 minutes prior to surgery, animals are given an intraperitoneal injection of the noradrenergic uptake inhibitor desipramine (25 mg/kg) to prevent damage to non-dopamine neurones. Animals are then placed in an anaesthetic chamber and anaesthetised using a mixture of oxygen and isoflurane. Once unconscious, the animals are transferred to a stereotaxic frame, where anaesthesia is maintained through a mask. The top of the animal's head is shaved and sterilised using an iodine solution. Once dry, a 2 cm long incision is made along the midline of the scalp and the skin retracted and clipped back to expose the skull. A small hole is then drilled through the skill above the injection site. In order to lesion the nigrostriatal pathway, the injection cannula is slowly lowered to position above the right medial forebrain bundle at −3.2 mm anterior posterior, −1.5 mm medial lateral from bregma, and to a depth of 7.2 mm below the duramater. 2 minutes after lowing the cannula, 2 μL of 6-OHDA is infused at a rate of 0.5 μL/min over 4 minutes, yeilding a final dose of 8 μL. The cannula is then left in place for a further 5 minutes to facilitate diffusion before being slowly withdrawn. The skin is then sutured shut using Ethicon W501 Mersilk, and the animal removed from the strereotaxic frame and returned to its homecage. The rats are allowed 2 weeks to recover from surgery before behavioural testing.

Apparatus

Rotational behaviour is measured using an eight station rotameter system provided by Med Associates, San Diego, USA. Each station is comprised of a stainless steel bowl (45 cm diameter×15 cm high) enclosed in a transparent Plexiglas cover running around the edge of the bowl, and extending to a height of 29 cm. To assess rotation, rats are placed in cloth jacket attached to a spring tether connected to optical rotameter positioned above the bowl, which assesses movement to the left or right either as partial (45°) or full (360°) rotations. All eight stations are interfaced to a computer that tabulated data.

Procedure

To reduce stress during drug testing, rats are initially habituated to the apparatus for 15 minutes on four consecutive days. On the test day, rats are given an intraperitoneal injection of test compound 30 minutes prior to testing. Immediately prior to testing, animals are given a subcutaneous injection of a subthreshold dose of apomorphine, then placed in the harness and the number of rotations recorded for one hour. The total number of full contralatral rotations during the hour test period serves as an index of antiparkinsonian drug efficacy.
