Description

Dopamine D1 Receptor Agonist Compounds The present invention relates to Dopamine D1 receptor agonist compounds, to methods for preparing such compounds and to their use.
GB 1 599 705 discloses 1-thienyl and 1-furyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepines having utility as cardiovascular agents. Some benzazepines as Dopamine D1 receptor agonists have been described. For example, 1-phenyl-3-benzazepines are disclosed in EP 0 230 755-A and carbamates of 6-chloro-7,8-dihydroxy-1 (4'-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-benzazepine are disclosed in EP 0 380 355-A.
The present invention provides compounds which are potent and selective ligands for the Dopamine Dl receptor. Such compounds can be used in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases especially, but not limited to, Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive death of presynaptic dopamine nuerones in the substantia nigra that innervate postsynaptic striatal neurones and the resultant loss of striatal dopamine. The primary therapy for Parkinson's disease focuses upon compensation for this loss of dopamine in the striatum. The current main-stay for this replacement in the administrattion of the metabolic precursor of dopamine, namely, L-DOPA which is converted into dopmaine in the central nervous system. However, L-DOPA can cause severe adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, cardiac arrythmias and hypotension. Additionally, long-term use of L-DOPA is associated with the development of abnormal involuntary movements (dyskinesias) and psychosis. Furthermore, the positive benefits associated with chronic L-DOPA
therapy experienced by suffers is lessened, typically several years after treatment was first initiated.
Therapeutic agents that selectively interact positively with postsynaptic dopamine D 1 receptors in the striatum, directly or in-directly (hereafter termed dopamine Dl agonists) are particularly valuable as anti-Parkinsonian agents.

AMENDED SHEET

The compounds of formula I may be presented as a mixture of enantiomers, which may be resolved into the individual pure enantiomers. This resolution may conveniently be performed by fractional crystallisation, from various solvents, of the salts of compounds of the formula I with optically active acids or by other methods known from the literature e.g.
chiral column chromatography. Therefore, this invention includes all isomers, whether resolved or mixtures thereof.
Particularly valuable embodiments of this invention are non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of benzazepines of formula I. Such salts include those derived from inorganic and organic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulphuric, phosphoric, methanesulfonic, acetic, lactic, malefic, phthalic and tartaric acids.
The compounds of the invention are useful because of their pharmacological activity. In particular, the compounds of the invention are potent (high aW nity) and selective ligands for the central dopamine D 1 receptor (Table 1 ) as measured by competitive radio-ligand displacement assays using rat striatal tissue homogenates as per the method described in Psychopharmacology 117:275-286(1995).
Test Compound Ki (nM) Ki (nM) Dopamine D 1 receptorDopamine D2 receptor affinity affinity Example 1 31 790 Example 4 6.7 2500 Table 1 The benzazepine compounds of Formula I possess anti-Parkinsonian activity due to central dopaminergic activity as demonstrated by employing the standard pharmacological test procedure as reported by Ungerstedt et al., in Brain Research 24:485-493 (1970). This procedure is based on the drug-induced rotation (circling) of rats having extensive unilateral dopaminergic lesions of the substantia nigra. Briefly, the test comprises the quantitative recording of rotational behaviour in rats in which 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the nigrostriatal dopamine system have been produced. Unilateral brain lesioning of the substantia nigra in one hemisphere results in the dopamine receptor system in that region to become hypersensitive following the degeneration of the nigral cell bodies. Activation of these super-sensitive dopamine receptors by drugs induce asymmetrical movement of the animal, contralateral rotation (with respect to the lesioned side of the brain). The rate and duration of contralateral rotation induced upon drug administration is an index of central dopaminergic activity of the agent. Compounds which are known to be clinically effective in controlling Parkinsonism, e.g. L-DOPA and apomorphine, are also effective in this rat circling model. By way of example the compound 1-indan-5-yl-6-chloro-3-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine-7,8-diol produces robust circling in the unilateral lesioned 6-hydroxydopamine rat model in a dose-related fashion from 0.438 to 5.79 micromoles/kg when administered by subcutaneous injection. Cumulative rotations over a set time-period (190mins) were as follows: 0.438 micromoles/kg = 23, 0.965 micromole/kg = 397 rotations, 1.93 micromoles/kg = 867 rotations, 3.86 micromoles/kg = 1078 rotations, 5.79 micromoles/kg =
1388 rotations.
The invention is further described by way of example only.
