Description

NEW REPLACED DIMERIC COMPOUNDS, PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS THAT THEY CONTAIN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to new substituted dimeric compounds, to a process for their preparation and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them. From the prior art, dimeric structures are known in the naphthalene series (J. Chem. Soc., Dalton Trans., 1979, (10), pp. 1497-502) that have been studied for their complex coordination properties. metallic, or in the indole series studied for their "similar to curare" activity (Khim.-Farm, Zh., 1984, 18 (1), pp. 29-31). In addition, applications WO 9600720 and WO 9414771 describe mixed dimeric structures for use as 5-HTj ligands. and synthesis intermediaries, respectively. Due to their novel structure, the compounds of the present invention are novel and have pharmacological properties that are very useful with respect to melatoninergic receptors. Many studies in the last ten years have demonstrated the key role of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) in many pathophysiological phenomena and in the control of the cicardian rhythm. However, its half-life is very short, due to the fact that it is metabolized quickly. Therefore, a great interest is found in the possibility of providing the physician with melatonin analogues that are metabolically more stable, that have an agonist or antagonist character and that can be expected to have a therapeutic effect that is superior to that of the hormone itself. In addition to its beneficial action on disorders in the circadian rhythm (J. Neurosurg, 1985, 63., p • 321-341) and disorders in sleep (Psychopharmacology, 1990, 100, pp. 222-226), the ligands of the melatoninergic system have useful pharmacological properties with respect to the central nervous system, especially anxiolytic and antipsychotic properties (Neuropharmacology of Pineal Secretions, 1990, 8. ( 3-4), pp. 264-152) and analgesic properties (Pharmacopsychiat., 1987, 20, pp. 222-223) as well as for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (J.? Eurosurg, 1985, 63. , pp. 321-341) and Alzheimer's disease (Brain Research, 1990, 528, pp. 170-174). Those compounds have also shown activity in relation to certain cancers (Melatonin - Clinical Perspectives, Oxford University Press, 1988, pp. 164-165), ovulation (Science 1987, 227, pp. 714-720), diabetes (Clinical Endocrinology, 1986, 24., pp. 359-364 ) and in the treatment of obesity (International Journal of Eating Disorders, 1996, 20. (4), pp. 443-446).
The various effects are exerted via the intermediary of specific melatonin receptors. Molecular biology studies have demonstrated the existence of many receptor subtypes that are capable of binding that hormone (Trends Pharmacol, Sci., 1995, 16, p 50; WO 97.04094). It has been possible, for various species including mammals, for some of these receptors to be located and characterized. In order to better understand the physiological functions of these receptors, it is a great advantage that specific ligands are available. In addition, such compounds, by selectively interacting with one or other of these receptors, can be excellent medications for the physician in the treatment of pathologies associated with the melatoninergic system, some of which have been mentioned above. In addition to the fact that the compounds of the present invention are novel, they show a very strong affinity for melatonin receptors and / or selectivity for one or other of the melatoninergic receptor subtypes.

The animals were observed at regular intervals during the course of the first day, and daily for 2 weeks after treatment. The LD50 (the dose causing the death of 50% of the animals) was evaluated and showed low toxicity of the compounds of the invention. EXAMPLE B: Melatonin receptor binding study in sheep pars fcuJberalis cells The melatonin receptor binding studies of the 20 compounds of the invention were carried out according to conventional techniques in sheep pars tuberalis cells. The pars tuberalis of the adenohypophysis is in fact characterized in mammals by a high density of melatonin receptors (Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 1, provides 1-4, 25 1989).
Protocol 1) Sheep pars tuberalis membranes are prepared and used as target tissue in saturation experiments to determine binding capacities and affinities for 2- [125I] - iodomelatonin. 2) Sheep pars tuberalis membranes are used as the target tissue in competitive binding experiments using the various test compounds compared to melatonin.
Each expetimento is carried out in triplicate and for each compound a range of different concentrations is tested. The results, after statistical processing, allow the binding affinities of the tested compounds to be determined.
Results The compounds of the invention appear to have strong affinity for melatonin receptors.
EXAMPLE C: Melatonin receptor binding study mtx and MT2 The mtx or MT2 receptor binding experiments were carried out using 2- [125I] -iodomelatonin as a reference radioligand. The retained radioactivity was determined using a liquid scintillation counter. Competitive binding experiments were then carried out in triplicate using the various test compounds. For each compound a range of different concentrations were tested. The results allow the binding affinities of the tested compounds (IC50) to be determined. Therefore, the IC50 values found for the compounds of the invention show the binding for one of the other subtypes of rnt-L and MT2 receptors, these values are < . 10 μM.
EXAMPLE D: Action of the compounds of the invention in the circadian rhythms of rat locomotor activity The relationship of melatonin altering most of the physiological, biochemical and behavioral circadian rhythms by day / night alterations has made it possible to establish a pharmacological model to analyze the melatoninergic ligands. The effects of the compounds are tested in relation to many parameters, and in particular, in relation to the circadian rhythms of locomotor activity, which are a reliable indicator of the activity of the endogenous circadian clock. In this study, the effects of such compounds were evaluated in a particular experimental model, specifically the rat placed in temporary isolation (permanent darkness).
Experimental protocol Male 1-month-old rats are subjected, as soon as they arrive at the laboratory, to a light cycle of 12 hours of light for 24 hours (LD 12:12). After 2 to 3 weeks of adaptation, they are placed in cages that are placed with a network connected to a recording system in order to detect the locomotor activity bases and therefore monitor the nictemeral (LD) or circadian rhythms (DD ). As soon as the recorded rhythms show a stable pattern in the light cycle 12:12, the rats are placed in permanent darkness (DD). Two to three weeks later, when a free course has been established (rhythm that reflects that of the endogenous clock), the rats are given a daily administration of the compound to be tested. The observations are made by visualizing the rhythms of activity: - influence of the rhythm of light on the rhythms of activity, - disappearance of the influence on the rhythms, in the permanent darkness, influence by the daily administration of the compound; transient or durable effect.
A software package makes it possible to: - measure the duration and intensity of the activity, the period of the rhythm of the animals during the free course and during the treatment, - possibly demonstrate by spectral analysis the existence of circadian and non-circadian components (for example ultradianos).
Results The compounds of the invention clearly appear to have a powerful action on the circadian rhythm via the melatoninergic system.
EXAMPLE E: Test in the light / dark cage The compounds of the invention are tested in a behavioral model, the test of the light / dark cage, which allows the anxiolytic activity of the compounds to be revealed. The equipment includes two polyvinyl boxes covered with Plexiglas. One of the boxes is in the dark. One lamp is placed above the other box, which provides a light intensity of approximately 4,000 lux in the center of the box. An opaque plastic tunnel separates the light box from the dark one. The animals are tested individually for a 5-minute section. The floor of each box is cleaned between each session. At the start of each test, a mouse is placed in the tunnel, facing the dark box. It records the time spent by the mouse in the illuminated box and the number of passes through the tunnel, after its first entry to the dark box. After administration of the compounds 30 minutes before the start of the test, the compounds of the invention significantly increase the time spent in the illuminated cage and the number of passages through the tunnel, demonstrating the anxiolytic activity of the compounds of the invention. the invention.
EXAMPLE F: Activity of the compounds of the invention is the caudal artery of the rat. The compounds of the invention were tested in the caudal artery of the rat. Melatoninergic receptors are present in these vessels, so a relevant pharmacological model is provided to study the activity of the melatoninergic ligand. The stimulation of the receptors can induce vasoconstriction or dilation, depending on the arterial segment studied.
Protocol One-month old rats are accustomed to a light / dark cycle of 12 h / 12 h for a period of 2 to 3 weeks. After sacrifice, the caudal artery is isolated and maintained in a highly oxygenated medium. The arteries are then cannulated at both ends, suspended vertically in an organ chamber in a suitable medium and perfused through the proximal end. The changes of pressure in the infusion flow allow the evaluation of the vasoconstriction or vasodilator effect of the compounds. The activity of the compounds is evaluated in segments that have been previously contracted by phenylephrine (1 μM). A concentration / response curve is determined non-cumulatively by the addition of a concentration of the test compound to the opposite segment previously. When the observed effect reaches equilibrium, the medium is changed and the preparation is left 20 minutes before the addition of the same phenylephrine concentration and the additional concentration of the test compound.
Results The compounds of the invention significantly modify the diameter of the caudal arteries previously restricted by phenylephrine.
