Description

CYCLOHEXYLAMINE DERIVATIVE AS SUBTYPE SELECTIVE
NMDA RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention pertains to (phenylcyclohexyl)amine derivatives as sub type selective N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Antagonists (NMDA).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Over excitation of NMDA receptor channel complexes on postsynaptic neurons following excessive release of glutamic acid from synaptosomes and glutamic acid from synaptosomes and glial cells results in excessive calcium ion influx into the neuronal cells, which leads to their death. This is believed to occur under ischemic or hypoxic conditions such as stroke, hypoglycemic, cardiac arrest and physical trauma. An NMDA receptor antagonist might be therapeutically useful because it may minimize damage of the central nervous system induced by ischemic or hypoxic conditions. The NMDA receptor channel complex consists of at least three binding domains including a glutamic acid (or NMDA) recognition site, a channel blocking binding site, and a strychnine-insensitive glycine binding type. Physiologically, a blockade of at least one of these sites terminates the channel opening of the NMDA receptor to prevent a calcium ion influx (Nagata R. et al., J. Med. Chem., 1994;37:3956-3968. Excessive excitation of NMDA receptor channel complexes by neurotransmitters may be responsible for the loss of neurons in cerebral vascular disorders such as cerebral ischemia or cerebral infarction resulting in a range of conditions such as thromboembolic or hemorrhagic stroke, cerebral vasospasm, hypoglycemia, cardiac arrest, status epilepticus, perinatal asphyxia, anoxia, such as from near drowning, pulmonary surgery and cerebral trauma, as well as lathyrism, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease. Such conditions likewise suggest the use of agents that may act as antagonists in the receptors identified above may lead to treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), schizophrenia, parkinsonism, epilepsy, anxiety, pain, and drug addiction (PCT/EPO 94/01492 having publication number WO#94/26747, Watjen et al., published November 24, 1994).
L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid and a number of other closely related amino acids have the ability to activate neurons in the nervous system and therefor the vast majority of excitatory neurons in the mammalian CNS. Interaction with glutamic acid mediated neurotransmission is considered a useful approach in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases (Jacobsen et al., O#94/26746, published November 24, 1994). Excitatory amino acid receptor antagonists that block NMDA receptors are recognized for usefulness in the treatment of a variety of disorders. NMDA receptors are intimately involved in the phenomenon of excitotoxicity, which may be a critical determinant of outcome of several neurological disorders. Disorders known to be responsive to blockade of the NMDA receptor include acute cerebral ischemia (stroke or cerebral trauma, for example), muscular spasm, convulsive disorders, neuropathic pain and anxiety, and may be a significant causal factor in chronic neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease (Klockgether T., Turski L., Ann Neurol. 1993;34:585-593), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) related neuronal injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's disease (Francis P.T., Sims N.R., Procter A.W.,
Bowen D.M., J. Neurochem., 1993;60(5):1589-1604) and Huntington's disease [see Lipton S., 77NS, 1993;16:(12):527-532; Lipton S., Rosenberg P. A., New Eng. J. Med. 1994;330(9): 613-622 and Bigge C.F., Biochem. Pharmacol. 1993;45:1547-1561 and references cited therein]. ΝMDA receptor antagonists may also be used to prevent tolerance to opiate analgesia or to help control withdrawal symptoms from addictive drugs (Eur P., Application 488:959A).
Many of the properties of native ΝMDA receptors are seen in recombinant homomeric ΝR1 receptors. These properties are altered by the ΝR2 subunits. Recombinant NMDA receptors expressed in Xenopus Oocytes have been studied by voltage-clamp recording, and have been found to exhibit developmental and regional expression of the mRNAs encoding NMDA receptor subunits. Electrophysiological assays were utilized to characterize the actions of compounds at NMDA receptors expressed in Xenopus Oocytes. The compounds were assayed at four subunit combinations at cloned rat NMDA receptors, corresponding to three putative NMDA receptor subtypes (Moriyoshi et al., Nature, 1991;354:31-37; Monyer et al., Science, 1992:256:1217-1221; Kutsuwada et al., Nature, 1992;358:36-41; Sugihara et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 1992;185:826-832).
Expression cloning of the first NMDA receptor subunit, NMDAR1 (NRl) in Nakanishi's lab in 1991 provided an initial view of the molecular structure of the NMDA receptor (Moriyoshi, supra., 1991). There are several other structurally related subunits (NMDAR2A through NMDAR2D) that join NRl in heteromeric assemblies to form the functional ion channel complex of the receptor (Ann Rev.
Neurosci., 1994;17:31-108). The molecular heterogeneity of NMDA receptors implies a future potential for agents with subtype selective pharmacology.

For purposes of the syntheses of the compounds of the present invention, reactive functional groups present in starting materials, reaction intermediates, or reaction products may be protected during chemical reactions using protecting groups which render the reactive functional groups substantially inert to the reaction conditions (see for example, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd ed., Green T.W. and Wuts P.G.: John Wiley & Sons, New York, NY, 1991). Thus, for example, protecting groups such as the following may be utilized to protect suitable amino, hydroxyl, and other groups of related reactivity: carboxylic acyl groups, such as formyl, acetyl, trifluoroacetyl; alkoxycarbonyl groups, such as ethoxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl (BOC), β,β,β-trichloroethoxycarbonyl (TCEC), β-iodoethoxycarbonyl; aryloxy carbonyl groups, such as benzyloxycarbonyl,/?-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, phenoxycarbonyl; trialkyl silyl groups, such as trimethylsilyl and t-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS); and groups such as trityl, tetrahydropyranyl, vinyloxycarbonyl, o-nitrophenylsulfenyl, diphenylphosphinyl, ^-toluenesulfonyl, and benzyl may all be utilized. The protecting group may be removed, after completion of the synthetic reaction of interest, by procedures known to those skilled in the art. For example, a BOC group may be removed by acidolysis, a trityl group by hydrogenolysis, TBDMS by treatment with fluoride ions, and TCEC by treatment with Zinc.

"Pharmaceutical Salts," Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977;66:1-19).
The acid addition salt of said basic compounds are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce the salt in the conventional manner. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts are formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Examples of metals used as cations are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and the like. Examples of suitable amines are NN-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, dicyclohexylamine, ethylenediamine, Ν-methylglucamine, and procaine (see, for example, Berge, supra., 1977).
The base addition salts of said acidic compounds are prepared by contacting the free acid form with a sufficient amount of the desired base to produce the salt in the conventional manner. Certain of the compounds of the present invention can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms, including hydrated forms, are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention. The compounds of the present invention can be prepared and administered in a wide variety of oral and parenteral dosage forms. Thus, the compounds of the present invention can be administered by injection, that is, intravenously, intramuscularly, intracutaneously, subcutaneously, intraduodenally, or intraperitoneally. Also, the compounds of the present invention can be administered by inhalation, for example, intranasally. Additionally, the compounds of the present invention can be administered transdermally. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the following dosage forms may comprise as the active component, either a compound of Formulas I-III or a corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formulas I-III. For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds of the present invention, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, pills, capsules, cachets, suppositories, and dispersible granules. A solid carrier can be one or more substances, which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, binders, preservatives, tablet disintegrating agents, or an encapsulating material.
In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid, which is in a mixture with the finely divided active component.
In tablets, the active component is mixed with the carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired.
The powders and tablets preferably contain from five or ten to about seventy percent of the active compound. Suitable carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term "preparation" is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as a carrier providing a capsule in which the active component with or without other carriers, is surrounded by a carrier, which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets and lozenges are included. Tablets, powders, capsules, pills, cachets, and lozenges can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration.
For preparing suppositories, a low melting wax, such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter, is first melted, and the active component is dispersed homogeneously therein, as by stirring. The molten homogenous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds, allowed to cool, and thereby to solidify.
Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions, for example, water or water propylene glycol solutions. For parenteral injection, liquid preparations can be formulated in solution in aqueous polyethylene glycol solution.
Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizing and thickening agents as desired. Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, such as natural or, synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and other well-known suspending agents.
Also included are solid form preparations, which are intended to be converted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations for oral administration.
Such liquid forms include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. These preparations may contain, in addition to the active component, colorants, flavors, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizing agents, and the like. The pharmaceutical preparation is preferably in unit dosage form. In such form the preparation is divided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, such as packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. Also, the unit dosage form can be a capsule, tablet, cachet, or lozenge itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any of these in packaged form.
The quantity of active component in a unit dose preparation may be varied or adjusted from 0.1 mg to 100 mg preferably 0.5 mg to 100 mg according to the particular application and the potency of the active component. The composition can, if desired, also contain other compatible therapeutic agents.
In therapeutic use as antagonists or as agents for the treatment of diseases, the compounds utilized in the pharmaceutical method of this invention are administered at the initial dosage of about 0.01 mg to about 100 mg/kg daily. A daily dose range of about 0.01 mg to about 10 mg/kg is preferred. The dosages, however, may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated, and the compound being employed. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages, which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day, if desired.

The 4-[4-(3-Phenylpropylamino)cyclohexyl]phenol, lactose, and cornstarch (for mix) are blended to uniformity. The cornstarch (for paste) is suspended in 200 mL of water and heated with stirring to form a paste. The paste is used to granulate the mixed powders. The wet granules are passed through a No. 8 hand screen and dried at 80°C. The dry granules are lubricated with the 1% magnesium stearate and pressed into a tablet. Such tablets can be administered to a human from one to four times a day for treatment of disease caused by over excitation of NMDA receptor channel complexes. The compounds of the present invention can be prepared according to the various synthetic schemes that follow. Protecting groups may be used when appropriate throughout many of the schemes. Although specifically noted in certain schemes, the appropriate use and choice of protecting groups is well-known by one skilled in the art, and is not limited to the specific examples below. It is also understood that such groups not only serve to protect chemically reactive sites, but also to enhance solubility or otherwise change physical properties. A good general reference for protecting group preparation and deprotection is "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" by Theodora Green, supra. , 1991. A number of general reactions such as oxidations and reductions are not shown in detail but can be done by methods understood by one skilled in the art. General transformations are well reviewed in "Comprehensive Organic Transformation" by Richard Larock, and the series "Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods" (1989) published by Wiley-Interscience. In general, the starting materials were obtained from commercial sources unless otherwise indicated.

Electrophysiological Assays at NMDA receptor subunits
Preparation of RNA. cDNA clones encoding the NRl A, NR2A, NR2B, and NR2C rat NMDA receptor subtypes were used (see Moriyoshi et al., Nature (Lond), 1991;354:31-37); Kutsuwada et al., Nature (Lond), 1992;358: 36-41;
Monyer et al., Science (Washington, D.C.), 1992;256:1217-1221; Ikeda et al., FEBSLett., 1992;313:34-38; Ishii et al., J Biol. Chem. 1993;268:2836-2843 for details of these clones or their mouse homologs). The clones were transformed into appropriate host bacteria and plasmid preparations were made with conventional DNA purification techniques. A sample of each clone was linearized by restriction enzyme digestion of cRNA was synthesized with T3 RNA polymerase. The cRNA was diluted to 400 ng/μL and stored in 1 μL aliquots at -80°C until injection.
The Xenopus oocyte expression system. Mature female Xenopus laevis were anaesthetized (20-40 minutes) using 0.15% 3-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester (MS-222), and 2 to 4 ovarian lobes were surgically removed. Oocytes at developmental stages IV-VI (Dumont J.N., J. Morphoh, 1972;136:153-180) were dissected from the ovary still surrounded by enveloping ovarian tissues. Follicle- enclosed oocytes were micro-injected with 1:1 mixtures of NR1A:NR2A, 2B or 2C; injecting 1 to 10 ng of RNA encoding each receptor subunit. NRIA encoding
RNA was injected alone at ~20 ng. Oocytes were stored in Barth's medium containing (in mM): NaCl, 88; KC1, 1; CaC-2, 0.41; Ca (NO3)2, 0.33; MgSO 0.82; NaHCO3, 2.4; HEPES 5, pH 7.4, with 0.11 mg/mL gentamicin sulphate.
While oocytes were still surrounded by enveloping ovarian tissues, the Barth's medium was supplemented with 0.1% bovine serum. Oocytes were defolliculated
1 to 2 days following injections by treatment with collagenase (0.5 mg/mL Sigma Type I for 0.5-1 hour) - (Miledi and Woodward, J. Phsyiol. (Lond.), 1989;416:601-621) and subsequently stored in serum-free medium.
Electrical recordings were made using a conventional two-electrode voltage clamp (Dagan TEV-200) over periods ranging between 3 to 21 days following injection (Woodward et al., Mol. Pharmacol., 1992;41:89-103). Oocytes were placed in a 0.1 mL recording chamber continuously perfused
(5-15 mL min-1) with frog Ringer's solution containing (in mM): NaCl, 115; KCL, 2; BaCl2, 1.8; HEPES, 5; pH 7.4. Drugs were applied by bath perfusion. Using oocytes expressing different subunit combinations of NMDA receptor,
NMDA currents were activated by co-application of glutamate (100 μM) and glycine (1-100 μM). Inhibitory potency of the novel antagonists was assessed on responses elicited by fixed concentrations of glutamate and glycine, by measuring reductions in current induced by progressively increasing concentrations of antagonist.
Concentration-inhibition curves were fit with Equation 1.
Control ) Eq Λ
In which IControl 1S tlιe current evoked by agonists alone, PIC50 = -log IC50, IC50 is the concentration of antagonist that produced half maximal inhibition, and n is the slope factor (De Lean et al., Am. J. Physiol, 1978;235:E97-102). For incomplete curves analysis by fitting was unreliable and IC50 values were calculated by simple regression over linear portions of the curves (Origin: Microcal Software). The electrophysiological assay results are set forth in Tables 1 -4.
6-OHDA-lesioned rat assay:
6-Hydroxydopamine-lesioned rats were used (see Ungerstedt U., Arbuthnott G.W., Quantitative recording of rotational behavior in rats after 6- hydroxy-dopamine lesions of the nigrostraiatal dopamine system. Brain Res., 1971 ;24(3):485-93). Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized with chloral hydrate and unilateral lesions of the nigrostriatal dopamine system were accomplished by infusion of 8 μg of 6-hydroxydopamine HBr (6-OHDA) into the right medial forebrain bundle. Rats were pretreated 30 minutes before surgery with desipramine HCl 25 mg/kg intraperitoneally (IP) to protect noradrenegic neurons, and pargyline 25 mg/kg IP to potentiate the effects of 6-OHDA. A minimum of 3 weeks after surgery, the rotational behavior induced by apomorphine HCL 50 μg/kg subcutaneously (SC) was assessed. Only rats demonstrating more than 100 contraversive turns/hour to apomorphine were used for the present experiments. Rotational behavior was measured using an automatic rotometer system
(Rotorat Rotational Activity System, MED Associates, Georgia, VT). Anti- parkinsonian activity was assessed as the ability of the compound to potentiate the contraversive rotation induced by L-DOPA methyl ester, 10 mg/kg SC, over a 6-hour period. Experiments were conducted using a crossover paradigm where each rat received either a vehicle plus L-DOPA, or the test compound plus
L-DOPA, in randomized order. Rats were tested at 7-day intervals. In experiments in which the compound was tested orally, rats were food deprived for 16 hours. Statistical analysis between treatment groups were performed using a paired t-test. The results were reported in Table 1 as the minimum effective dose (MED) of compound required to produce a statistically-significant increase in total contraversive rotations compared to rats receiving L-DOPA only.
