Abstract

A class of novel aminotetralins is disclosed useful as 5-HT1D.alpha. agonists.

Description

AMINOTETRALINS AS 5-HTlDa AGONISTS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel substituted aminotetralins useful as 5-HT1D agonists.
Over the last several years it has become apparent that serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) is associated directly or indirectly with a number of physiological phenomena, including appetite, memory, thermo-regulation, sleep, sexual behavior, anxiety, depression, and hallucinogenic behavior [Glennon, R.A., J. Med. Chem. 30, 1 (1987) ] .
5-HT receptors have been identified in the central nervous system (CNS; brain and spinal cord) and in peripheral tissues including the gastrointestinal tract, lung, heart, blood vessels, and various other smooth muscle tissues.
It has been recognized that there are multiples types of 5-HT receptors. These receptors have been classificed as 5-HT1, 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors, with the former being further divided into the sub-classes 5-HT1A, 5-HT18, 5-HT1C, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1E, and 5-HT1F~
Within the 5-HT1 receptor class, several subtypes have been distinguished on the basis of their pharmacological binding profiles, second messenger coupling and physiological roles. One such subtype, the 5-HT1D receptor, was originally defined as a particular type of [3H]5-HT binding site in the bovine caudate (Heuring and Peroutka, J. Neurosci., 7:894 (1987)).
Few ligands have selectivity for 5-HT1D
receptors. Sumatriptan possesses limited 5-HT1D
selectivity. GR 127935 has also been identified as a patent and selective 5-HT1D receptor antagonist. Hayer, et al., Pharmacological Reviews, Vol. 46, No. 2, pp. 157-203 (1994) .
Molecular cloning has demonstrated that pharmacologically defined 5-HT1D receptors are encloded by two separate but closely related genes, designated 5-HTlDa and 5-HT1D~, which are members of the GPRC
superfamily. These receptors display highly conserved transmembrane homology (75%) and similar binding properties and second messenger coupling (inhibition of adenylate cyclase). Leonhardt, S., et al., J. Neurochem, 53:465-471 (1989).
The 5-HTlDa receptor is a species homolog of the 5-HT1D receptor of bovine calif caudate and guinea-pig brain. Hartig, et al., supra.
The 5-HT1B and 5-HTlDa receptors have recently been shown to be species homologues of the same receptor subtype. They display similarities in their pharmacology, second messenger coupling, and anatomical distribution. The 5-HT1B subtype appears to be confined to rat, mouse, and opossum whereas 5-HT1D~ sites have been demonstrated in human, pig, guinea pig and calf.
Adham, N., et al., Mol. Pharmacol., 41:1-7 (1992).
The rat 5-HTlB receptor differs from its human counterpart at only 4% of its transmembrane amino acids, but its pharmacological binding properties are dramatically different from those of the human 5-HT1DB
receptor. Hartig, et al., Trends Pharmacol. ci., 13:152-159 (1992).
We have now discovered a further class of compounds which have selective 5-HTlDa agonist activity useful in treatment of dementia, Parkinson's Disease, appetite modulation, anxiety, migraine, sexual dysfunction, irritative bladder symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, urge incontinence and excessive bladder activity caused by bacterial cystitis, interstitial cystitis, radiation/chemotherapy-induced cystitis, outlet obstruction, neurogenic bladder, spinal cord injury, stroke, and nocturnal enurisis.
. It is desirable to develop new compounds and treatments for these 5-HTiDa mediated diseases.

The optically active isomers of the racemates of invention are also considered within the scope of Formulae I and II. Such optically active isomers may be prepared from their respective optically active precursors following the procedure described below, or by resolving the racemic mixtures. These resolutions can typically be carried out in the presence of a resolving agent, by chromatography or by repeated cyrstallization.
Procedures for separating racemates into their individual isomers can be found in references such as Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions, (John Wiley and Sons, New York 1981).
The term "amino-protecting group" is used herein as a.t is frequently used in synthetic organic chemistry, to refer to a group which will prevent an amino group from participating in a reaction carried out on some other functional group of the molecule, but which can be removed from the amine when it is desired to do so. In a similar fashion, the term "hydroxy protecting group" refers to a removable group which will prevent a hydroxy group from participating in a reaction performed on the molecule. Such groups are discussed by T. W.
Greene in chapters 2 and 7 of Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1981, and by J. W. Barton in chapter 2 of Protective Groups in Organic Chemistrv, J. F. W. McOmie, ed., Plenum Press, New York, 1973, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Examples of amino protecting groups include benzyl and substituted benzyl such as 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl, _o-nitrobenzyl, and triphenylmethyl; those of the formula -COOR where R
includes such groups as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, 1-methyl-1-phenylethyl, isobutyl, _g_ t-butyl, t-amyl, vinyl, allyl, phenyl, benzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, _o-nitrobenzyl, and 2,4-dichlorobenzyl; acyl groups and substituted acyl such as formyl, acetyl, . chloroacetyl, dichloroacetyl, trichloroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl, benzoyl, and p-methoxybenzoyl; and other groups such as methanesulfonyl, p-toluenesulfonyl, p-bromobenzenesulfonyl, p-nitrophenylethyl, and g-toluenesulfonylaminocarbonyl. A preferred amino-blocking group is t-butoxycarbonyl.
Examples of hydroxy protecting groups include ether and substituted ether forming groups such as methyl, methoxymethyl, t-butoxymethyl, 1-ethoxyethyl and benzyl; silyl ether forming groups such as trimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl and methyl-diisopropylsilyl; ester forming groups such as formate, acetate and trichloroacetate and carbonate groups, such as methyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethylcarbonate and p-nitrophenyl carbonates.

Elemental Analysis:
Calculated: C 70.84; H 8.27; N 3.59 Found: C 70.81; H 8.37; N 3.59 The method of this invention is practiced by administering to a mammal a direct acting 5-HT1D~, agonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The phrase "direct acting 5-HTlDa agonist" as used in this specification and these claims means a non-endogenous chemical compound and includes: (1) synthetic chemical compounds (ligands) that mimic the action of serotonin on 5-HTlDa receptors by directly activating these receptors;
and (2) partial agonists, which are synthetic chemical compounds (ligands) that mimic the action of serotonin on 5-HTlDa receptors by directly activating these receptors but produce a smaller maximal effect than do other ligands that act on the same receptor. These compounds may have activity at other receptors but must have some component of 5-HTlDa agonist activity.
Assav Experiments The ability of the compounds of this invention to bind to the 5-HTlDa receptor subtype was measured essentially as described in N. Adham, et al., Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (USA), 90, 408-412 (1993).
Membrane Preparation- Membranes were prepared from transfected Ltk- cells which were grown to 100% confluency.
The cells were washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline, scraped from the culture dishes into 5 mL of ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline, and centrifuged at 200 x g for 5 minutes at 4oC. The pellet was resuspended in 2.5 mL of ice-cold Tris buffer (20 mM Tris HC1, pH=7.4 at 23~C, 5 mM
EDTA) and homogenized with a Wheaton tissue grinder. The lysate was subsequently centrifuged at 200 x g for 5 minutes at 4 C to pellet large fragments which were discarded. The supernatant was collected and centrifuged at 40,000 x g for 20 minutes at 4~C. The pellet resulting from this centrifugation was washed once in ice-cold Tris wash buffer and resuspended in a final buffer containing 50 mM Tris HC1 and 0.5 mM EDTA, pH=7.4 at 23~C. Membrane preparations were kept on ice and utilized within two hours for the radioligand binding assays. Protein concentrations were determined by the method of Bradford (Anal. Biochem., 72, 248-254 (1976)).
Radioliqand Binding: [3H-5-HT] binding was performed using slight modifications of the 5-HT1D assay conditions reported by Herrick-Davis and Titeler (J. Neurochem., 50, 1624-1631 (1988)) with the omission of masking ligands.
Radioligand binding studies were achieved at 37oC in a total volume of 250 mL of buffer (50 mM Tris, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.2 mM
EDTA, 10 mM pargyline, 0.1% ascorbate, pH=7.4 at 37oC) in 96 well microtiter plates. Saturation studies were conducted using [3H]5-HT at 12 different concentrations ranging from 0.5 nM to 100 nM. Displacement studies were performed using 4.5-5.5 nM [3H]5-HT. The binding profile of drugs in competition experiments was accomplished using 10-12 concentrations of compound. Incubation times were 30 minutes for both saturation and displacement studies based upon initial investigations which determined equilibrium binding conditions. Nonspecific binding was defined in the presence of 10 mM 5-HT. Binding was initiated by the addition of 50 mL membrane homogenates (10-20 ~,g). The reaction was terminated by rapid filtration through presoaked (0.5% poylethyleneimine) filters using 48R Cell Brandel Harvester (Gaithersburg, MD). Subsequently, filters were washed for 5 seconds with ice cold buffer (50 mM Tris HC1, pH=7.4 at 4oC), dried and placed into vials containing 2.5 mL Readi-Safe (Beckman, Fullerton, CA) and radioactivity was measured using a Beckman LS 5000TA liquid scintillation counter. The efficiency of counting of [3H]5-HT averaged between 45-50%. Binding data was analyzed by computer-assisted nonlinear regression analysis (Accufit and Accucomp, Lunden Software, Chagrin Falls, OH). IC50 values were converted to Ki values using the Cheng-Prusoff equation (Biochem. Pharmacol., 22, 3099-3108 (1973). All experiments were performed in triplicate. Representative compounds of the invention exhibited an Ki at the 5-HTlDa receptor of at least 100 ~.tmol.

As was reported by R.L. Weinshank, et al., W093/14201, the 5-HT1D receptor is functionally coupled to a G-protein as measured by the ability of serotonin and serotonergic drugs to inhibit forskolin stimulated cAMP production in NIH3T3 cells transfected with. the 5-HT1D receptor. Adenylate cyclase activity was determined using standard techniques.
A maximal effect is achieved by serotonin. An E~x is determined by dividing the inhibition of a test compound by the maximal effect and determining a percent inhibition.

Measurement of cAMP formation Transfected NIH3T3 cells (estimated Bmax from one point competition studies=488 fmol/mg of protein) were incubated in DMEM, 5 mM theophylline, 10 mM HEPES (4-[2-hydroxyethyl]-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid) and 10 ~M pargyline for 20 minutes at 37oC, 5% C02. Drug dose-effect curves were then conducted by adding 6 different final concentrations of drug, followed immediately by the addition of forskolin (10 mM). Subsequently, the cells were incubated for an additional 10 minutes at 37oC, 5% C02. The medium was aspirated and the reaction was stopped by the addition of 100 mM HC1. To demonstrate competitive antagonism, a dose-response curve for 5-HT was measured in parallel, using a fixed dose of methiothepin (0.32 mM). The plates were stored at 4oC for 15 minutes and then centrifuged for 5 minutes at 500 x g to pellet cellular debris, and the supernatant was aliquoted and stored at -20oC before assessment of cAMP formation by radioimmunoassay (CAMP
radioimmunoassay kit; Advanced Magnetics, Cambridge, MA).
Radioactivity was quantified using a Packard COBRA Auto Gamma counter, equipped with data reduction software.
Representative compounds were tested and found to be agonists at the 5-HTlDa receptor in the cAMP assay.

When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. In preparing a formulation, it may be necessary to mill the active compound to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it ordinarily is milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size is normally adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g. about 40 mesh.
Some examples of suitable carriers, excipients and diluents include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, tragacanth, gelatin, water, syrup, and methyl cellulose.
The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil;
wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents;
preserving agents such as methyl- and propylhydroxybenzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. The compositions of the invention can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art.
The compounds of this invention may be delivered transdermally using known transdermal delivery systems and excipients. Most preferably, a compound of this invention is admixed with permeation enhancers including, but not limited to, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol monolaurate, and azacycloalkan-2-ones, and incorporated into a patch or similar delivery system. Additional excipients including gelling agents, emulsifiers, and buffers may be added to the transdermal formulation as desired.
For topical administration, a compound of this invention ideally can be admixed with any variety of excipients in order to form a viscous liquid or cream-like preparation.

For oral administration, a compound of this invention ideally can be admixed with carriers and diluents and molded into tablets or enclosed in gelatin capsules.
In the case of tablets, a lubricant may be incorporated to prevent sticking and binding of the powdered ingredients in the dies and on the punch of the tableting machine. For such purpose there may be employed for instance aluminum, magnesium or calcium stearates, talc or mineral oil.
Preferred pharmaceutical forms of the present invention include capsules, tablets and injectable solutions.
Especially preferred are capsules and tablets.
The therapeutic and prophylactic treatments provided by this invention are practiced by administering to a mammal in need thereof a dose of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof that is effective to alleviate the pathological effects of 5-HTlDa receptor-activated diseases.
Advantageously for this purpose, formulations may be provided in unit dosage form, preferably each dosage unit containing from about 5 to about 500 mg (from about 5 to 50 mg in the case of parenteral or inhalation administration, and from about 25 to 500 mg in the case of oral or rectal administration) of a compound of Formula I. Dosages from about 0.5 to about 300 mg/kg per day, preferably 0.5 to 20 mg/kg, of active ingredient may be administered although it will, of course, readily be understood that the amount of the compound or compounds of Formula I actually to be administered will be determined by a physician, in the light of all the relevant circumstances including the condition to be treated, the choice of compound to be administered and the choice of route of administration and therefore the above preferred dosage range is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way.
The specific dose of a compound administered according to this invention to obtain therapeutic or prophylactic effects will, of course, be determined by the particular circumstances surrounding the case, including, for example, the route of administration the age, weight and response of the individual patient, the condition being treated and the severity of the patient s symptoms.
In general, the compounds of the invention are most desirably administered at a concentration that will generally afford effective results without causing any serious side effects and can be administered either as a single unit dose, or if desired, the dosage may be divided into convenient subunits administered at suitable times throughout the day.
The following formulation examples may employ as active compounds any of the compounds of this invention. The examples are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
