WO 99/26927 PCT/US98/24833 METABOTROPIC GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS FOR TREATING CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
DISEASES
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides compounds active at metabotropic glutamate receptors and that are useful for treating neurological and psychiatric diseases and disorders.
S
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Recent advances in the elucidation of the neurophysiological roles of metabotropic glutamate receptors have established these receptors as promising drug targets in the therapy of acute and chronic neurological and psychiatric disorders and diseases. However, the major challenge to the realization of this promise has been the development of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtypeselective compounds.
Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Glutamate produces its effects on central neurons by binding to and thereby activating cell surface receptors. These receptors have been divided into two major classes, the ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors, based on the structural features of the receptor proteins, the means by which the receptors transduce signals into the cell, and pharmacological profiles.
The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are G protein-coupled receptors that activate a variety of intracellular second messenger systems following the binding of glutamate. Activation of mGluRs in intact mammalian neurons elicits one or more of the following responses: activation of phospholipase C: increases in phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis: intracellular calcium release: activation of phospholipase D: activation or inhibition of adenvl SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 99/26927 PCT/US98/24833 -2cyclase: increases or decreases in the formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP); activation of guanylyl cyclase: increases in the formation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP); activation of phospholipase A2: increases in arachidonic acid release: and increases or s decreases in the activity of voltage- and ligand-gated ion channels. Schoepp et al.. Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 14:13 (1993); Schoepp, Neurochem. Int. 24:439 (1994); Pin er al., Neuropharmacology 34:1 (1995).
Eight distinct mGluR subtypes, termed mGluR1 through mGluR8, have been identified by molecular cloning. See, for example, Nakanishi. Neuron 13:1031 (1994); Pin et al., Neuropharmacology 34:1 (1995); Knopfel et al., J.
Med. Chem. 38:1417 (1995). Further receptor diversity occurs via expression of alternatively spliced forms of certain mGluR subtypes. Pin et al.. PNAS 89:10331 (1992); Minakami et al., BBRC 199:1136 (1994); Joly et al., J.
Neurosci. 15:3970 (1995).
Metabotropic glutamate receptor subtypes may be subdivided into three groups, Group 1. Group II, and Group III mGluRs, based on amino acid sequence homology, the second messenger systems utilized by the receptors, and by their pharmacological characteristics. Nakanishi. Neuron 13:1031 (1994); Pin er al., Neuropharmacology 34:1 (1995); Knopfel et al., J. Med. Chem. 38:1417 (1995).
Group I mGluRs comprise mGluRl. mGluR5. and their alternatively spliced variants. The binding of agonists to these receptors results in the activation of phospholipase C and the subsequent mobilization of intracellular calcium. Electrophysiological measurements have been used to demonstrate these effects in, for example, Xenopus oocytes expressing recombinant mGluRl receptors. See, for example Masu et al., Nature 349:760 (1991); Pin et al., PNAS 89:10331 (1992). Similar results have been achieved with oocytes expressing recombinant mGluR5 receptors. Abe et al., J. Biol. Chem.
267:13361 (1992); Minakami et al., BBRC 199:1136 (1994); Joly er al., J.
Neurosci. 15:3970 (1995). Alternatively, agonist activation of recombinant mGluRl receptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stimulates PI hydrolysis, cAMP formation, and arachidonic acid release as measured by standard biochemical assays. Aramori et al.. Neuron 8:757 (1992).
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 99/26927 PCTIUS98/24833 In comparison, activation of mGluR5 receptors expressed in CHO cells stimulates PI hydrolysis and subsequent intracellular calcium transients, but no stimulation of cAMP formation or arachidonic acid release is observed. Abe et al.. J. Biol. Chem. 267:13361 (1992). However, activation of mGluR5 receptors expressed in LLC-PK1 cells results in PI hydrolysis and increased cAMP formation. Joly et al.. J. Neurosci. 15:3970 (1995). The agonist potency profile for Group I mGluRs is quisqualate glutamate ibotenate (2S, carboxycyclopropyl)glycine (L-CCG-I) (IS,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3dicarboxylic acid (ACPD). Quisqualate is relatively selective for Group
I
receptors, as compared to Group II and Group III mGluRs, but it also is a potent activator of ionotropic AMPA receptors. Pin er al.. Neuropharmacology 34:1, Knopfel et al., J. Med. Chem. 38:1417 (1995).
The lack of subtype-specific mGluR agonists and antagonists has impeded elucidation of the physiological roles of particular mGluRs. and the mGluRassociated pathophysiological processes that affect the CNS have yet to be defined. However, work with the available non-specific agonists and antagonists has yielded some general insights about the Group I mGluRs as compared to the Group II and Group III mGluRs.
Attempts at elucidating the physiological roles of Group I mGluRs suggest that activation of these receptors elicits neuronal excitation. Various studies have demonstrated that ACPD can produce postsynaptic excitation upon application to neurons in the hippocampus. cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and thalamus. as well as other brain regions. Evidence indicates that this excitation is due to direct activation of postsynaptic mGluRs, but it also has been suggested that activation of presynaptic mGluRs occurs, resulting in increased neurotransmitter release.
Baskys, Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 15:92 (1992); Schoepp, Neurochem. Int. 24:439 (1994); Pin et al., Neuropharmacology 34:1(1995).
Pharmacological experiments implicate Group I mGluRs as the mediators of this excitatory mechanism. The effects of ACPD can be reproduced by low concentrations of quisqualate in the presence of iGluR antagonists. Hu et al., Brain Res. 568:339 (1991); Greene et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol. 226:279 (1992).
Two phenylglycine compounds known to activate mGluR1, namely hydroxyphenylglycine ((S)-3HPG) and (S)-3.5-dihydroxyphenylglycine DHPG), also produce excitation. Watkins et al.. Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 15:33 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 99/26927 PCT/US98/24833 (1994). In addition, the excitation can be blocked by 4 -carboxyphenylglycine 4 -carboxy-3-hydroxyphenylglycine ((S)-4C3HPG), and alpha-methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine compounds known to be mGluRl antagonists. Eaton et al.. Eur. J. Pharmacol. 244:195 (1993): Watkins etal., Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 15:333 (1994).
Metabotropic glutamate receptors have been implicated in a number of normal processes in the mammalian CNS. Activation of mGluRs has been shown to be required for induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation and cerebellar long-term depression. Bashir et al., Nature 363:347 (1993); Bortolotto et al., o1 Nature 368:740 (1994); Aiba et al., Cell 79:365 (1994); Aiba et al., Cell 79:377 (1994). A role for mGluR activation in nociception and analgesia also has been demonstrated. Meller et al.. Neuroreport 4: 879 (1993). In addition. mGluR activation has been suggested to play a modulatory role in a variety of other normal processes including synaptic transmission, neuronal development.
apoptotic neuronal death, synaptic plasticity, spatial learning, olfactory memory, central control of cardiac activity, waking, motor control, and control of the vestibulo-ocular reflex. For reviews, see Nakanishi, Neuron 13: 1031 (1994); Pin et al., Neuropharmacology 34:1; Knopfel et al., J. Med. Chem. 38:1417 (1995).
Metabotropic glutamate receptors also have been suggested to play roles in a variety of pathophysiological processes and disease states affecting the CNS.
These include stroke, head trauma, anoxic and ischemic injuries, hypoglycemia.
epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Schoepp et al.. Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 14:13 (1993); Cunningham et al.. Life Sci. 54:135 (1994); Hollman et al., Ann. Rev. Neurosci. 17:31 (1994); Pin et al., Neuropharmacology 34:1 (1995); Knopfel et al., J. Med. Chem. 38:1417 (1995).
Much of the pathology in these conditions is thought to be due to excessive glutamate-induced excitation of CNS neurons. Because Group I mGluRs appear to increase glutamate-mediated neuronal excitation via postsynaptic mechanisms and enhanced presynaptic glutamate release, their activation probably contributes to the pathology. Accordingly, selective antagonists of Group I mGluR receptors could be therapeutically beneficial, specifically as neuroprotective agents or anticonvulsants.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 99/26927 PCT/US98/24833 Preliminary studies assessing therapeutic potentials with the available mGluR agonists and antagonists have yielded seemingly contradictory results.
For example, it has been reported that application of ACPD onto hippocampal neurons leads to seizures and neuronal damage (Sacaan et al., Neurosci. Lett.
139:77 (1992); Lipparti et al.. Life Sci. 52:85 (1993). Other studies indicate.
however, that ACPD inhibits epileptiform activity, and also can exhibit neuroprotective properties. Taschenberger et al..

It is likely that these conflicting results are due to the lack of selectivity of ACPD, which causes activation of several different mGluR subtypes. In the studies finding neuronal damage it appears that Group I mGluRs were activated.
thereby enhancing undesirable excitatory neurotransmission. In the studies showing neuroprotective effects it appears that activation of Group II and/or Group III mGluRs occurred, inhibiting presynaptic glutamate release, and diminishing excitatory neurotransmission.
This interpretation is consistent with the observation that (S)-4C3HPG. a Group I mGluR antagonist and Group II mGluR agonist. protects against audiogenic seizures in DBA/2 mice. while the Group II mGluR selective agonists DCG-IV and L-CCG-I protect neurons from NMDA- and KA-induced toxicity.

Based on the foregoing, it is clear that currently available mGluR agonists and antagonists have limited value, due to their lack of potency and selectivity.
In addition, most currently available compounds are amino acids or amino acid derivatives that have limited bioavailabilities, thereby hampering in vivo studies to assess mGluR physiology, pharmacology and their therapeutic potential.
Compounds that selectively inhibit activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor Group I subtypes should be useful for treatment of neurological disorders and diseases such as senile dementia, Parkinson's disease. Alzheimer's disease.
Huntington's Chorea. pain. epilepsy, head trauma, anoxic and ischemic injuries.
and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression.

Examples of compounds according to the present invention are set forth in Table I below.
Preparation of mGluR Group I antagonists The skilled artisan will recognize that mGluR Group I antagonists according to the invention may be prepared by methods that are well known in the art, using widely recognized techniques of organic chemistry. Suitable reactions are described in standard textbooks of organic chemistry. For example.
see March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 2d ed., McGraw Hill (1977).
For example, the compounds generally may be prepared by formation of the [linker] moiety between two precursor compounds containing suitable Ar and R moieties. When the linker contains an amide linkage, the amide may be formed using well known techniques, such as reaction between an amine and an acid chloride, or by reaction in the presence of a coupling reagent such as carbonyldiimidazole, or a carbodiimide such as, for example, 1,3dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC). Formation of ester and thioester linkages can be achieved in similar fashion.
When the [linker] moiety contains an ether linkage, the ether function also can be prepared using standard techniques. For example, ethers can be formed using the Mitsunobu reaction, where a primary alcohol function is displaced by another hydroxy group via activation using PPh 3 and diethylazodicarboxylate (DEAD). Thioether linkages may be prepared by displacement of a leaving group such as halide with a thiolate anion. generated by deprotonation of a thiol group with base.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 99/26927 PCT/US98/24833 -19- When the [linkerl moiety contains a ketomethylene group, it can be formed by alkylation of a ketone enolate. Thus. for example, a methyl ketone can be deprotonated using a strong base such as lithium diisopropylamide
(LDA).
followed by reaction with an alkyl halide. Alternatively, a ketomethvlene function can be prepared via addition of an organometallic compound, such as a Grignard reagent. to an aldehyde, followed by oxidation of the resultant hydroxyl group to a ketone. Suitable reagents for oxidizing alcohols to ketones are well known in the art.
[Linker] moieties containing other heteroatom groups also may be prepared using methods that are well known in the art. N,N-Disubstiitued hydrazine compounds may be prepared via reductive amination of hydrazones formed by reaction of a monosubstituted hydrazone with an aldehyde.
N.AN-
Disubstituted azo compounds can be formed, for example, by oxidation of the corresponding hydrazines.
In most cases, the precursor Ar and R moieties are readily available, or may be prepared using straightforward techniques of organic chemistry. Many compounds are commercially available, for example, from Aldrich Chemical Company, Milwaukee, WI. When the compounds are not commercially available, they may readily prepared from available precursors using straightforward transformations that are well known in the art.
For example, carboxylic acids may be converted into the corresponding acid chlorides by reaction with. for example, thionyl chloride or oxalvl chloride.
An example of such a reaction is provided below in Example 3. Compounds containing a hydroxy function may be converted into the corresponding amine by conversion of the hydroxyl group into a leaving group, such as a sulfonic acid ester (such as a triflate, mesylate, or tosylate) or a halide, (ii) displacement with azide ion, and (iii) reduction of the resulting azide by, for example.
hydrogenation over a platinum oxide catalyst. An illustration of such a transformation is provided below in Example 12.
Testing of compounds for mGluR Group I antagonist activity The pharmacological properties of the compounds of the invention can be analyzed using standard assays for functional activity. Examples of glutamate receptor assays are well known in the art, for example, see Aramori et al..
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 99/26927 PCT/US98/24833 Neuron 8:757 (1992); Tanabe et al.. Neuron 8:169 (1992). The methodology described in those publications is incorporated herein by reference.
Conveniently, the compounds of the invention may be studied using an assay that measures inhibition of intracellular calcium mobilization in cells expressing recombinant receptors that can bind the compounds. Suitable receptor constructs are well known in the art and are also described, for example, in WO 97/05252, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
Thus, HEK-293 cells (human embryonic kidney cells, available from the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, MD, Accession Number CRL 1573) are stably transfected with a DNA construct expressing a recombinant receptor. The stably transfected cells are cultured in high glucose DMEM (Gibco 092) containing 0.8 mM glutamine. 10% FBS, and 200 pM hygromycin
B.
A protocol for measuring intracellular calcium mobilization in response to changes in extracellular calcium using the calcium-sensitive dye Fura has been described previously. Briefly, HEK-293 cells, stably transfected with a DNA construct encoding a recombinant receptor, are loaded with Fura dye. The cells then are washed, resuspended. and maintained at 37 The cells are diluted into cuvettes for recording fluorescent signals. Measurements of fluorescence are performed at 37 °C using standard methods, and concentrations of intracellular Ca" are calculated using a dissociation constant (Kd) of 224 nM and applying equation: [Ca- 2 li (F Fmi x Kd where F is fluorescence at any particular time of interest. Fm is determined by chelating all calcium available, therefore, no fura 2 is bound to calcium, and Fn.x is determined by fully saturating all the fura 2 available with calcium.
