It will be appreciated to those skilled in the art that it may be necessary to protect certain reactive substituents during some of the above procedures. Standard protection and deprotection techniques can be used such as those described in Greene T.W. 'Protective groups in organic synthesis' New York, Wiley (1981). For example, primary amines can be protected as phthalimide, benzyl, benzyloxycarbonyl or trityl derivatives.
Carboxylic acid groups can be protected as esters. Aldehyde or ketone groups can be protected as acetals, ketals, thioacetals or thioketals. Deprotection is achieved using standard conditions.
5HTι B receptor antagonists, and in particular the compounds of the present invention, are expected to be of use in the treatment of CNS disorders such as mood disorders, including depression, seasonal affective disorder and dysthymia, anxiety disorders, including generalised anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social phobia, obsessive compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder; memory disorders, including dementia, amnestic disorders and age-associated memory impairment; and disorders of eating behaviours, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Other CNS disorders include motor disorders such as Parkinson's disease, dementia in Parkinson's disease, neuroleptic-induced Parkinsonism and tardive dyskinesias, as well as other psychiatric disorders.
5HTιg receptor antagonists, and in particular compounds of the present invention, may also be of use in the treatment of endocrine disorders such as hyperprolactinaemia, in the treatment of vasospasm (particularly in the cerebral vasculature) and hypertension, as well as disorders in the gastrointestinal tract where changes in motility and secretion are involved. They may also be of use in the treatment of sexual dysfunction and hypothermia. Therefore, the present invention provides a compound of general formula (I) or a physiologically acceptable salt or solvate thereof for use in therapy.
The present invention also provides a compound of general formula (I) or a physiologically acceptable salt or solvate thereof for use in the treatment of the aforementioned disorders.
In another aspect the invention provides the use of a compound of general formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of the aforementioned disorders.
In a further aspect the invention provides a method of treating the aforementioned disorders which comprises administering an effective amount to a patient in need of such treatment of a compound of general formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.
In particular the invention provides a compound of general formula (I) or a physiologically acceptable salt or solvate thereof for use in the treatment or prophylaxis of depression.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the compounds according to the invention may advantageously be used in conjunction with one or more other therapeutic agents, for instance, different antidepressant agents.
The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition, which comprises a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A pharmaceutical composition of the invention, which may be prepared by admixture, suitably at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, is usually adapted for oral, parenteral or rectal administration and, as such, may be in the form of tablets, capsules, oral liquid preparations, powders, granules, lozenges, reconstitu table powders, injectable or infusible solutions or suspensions or suppositories. Orally administrable compositions are generally preferred.
Tablets and capsules for oral administration may be in unit dose form, and may contain conventional excipients, such as binding agents, fillers, tabletting lubricants, disintegrants and acceptable wetting agents. The tablets may be coated according to methods well known in normal pharmaceutical practice. Oral liquid preparations may be in the form of, for example, aqueous or oily suspension, solutions, emulsions, syrups or elixirs, or may be in the form of a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may contain conventional additives such as suspending agents, emulsifying agents, non-aqueous vehicles (which may include edible oils), preservatives, and, if desired, conventional flavourings or colorants.
For parenteral administration, fluid unit dosage forms are prepared utilising a compound of the invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a sterile
vehicle. The compound, depending on the vehicle and concentration used, can be either suspended or dissolved in the vehicle. In preparing solutions, the compound can be dissolved for injection and filter sterilised before filling into a suitable vial or ampoule and sealing. Advantageously, adjuvants such as a local anaesthetic, preservatives and buffering agents are dissolved in the vehicle. To enhance the stability, the composition can be frozen after filling into the vial and the water removed under vacuum. Parenteral suspensions are prepared in substantially the same manner, except that the compound is suspended in the vehicle instead of being dissolved, and sterilisation cannot be accomplished by filtration. The compound can be sterilised by exposure to ethylene oxide before suspension in a sterile vehicle. Advantageously, a surfactant or wetting agent is included in the composition to facilitate uniform distribution of the compound.
The composition may contain from 0.1% to 99% by weight, preferably from 10 to 60% by weight, of the active material, depending on the method of administration.
The dose of the compound used in the treatment of the aforementioned disorders will vary in the usual way with the seriousness of the disorders, the weight of the sufferer, and other similar factors. However, as a general guide suitable unit doses may be 0.05 to 1000 mg, more suitably 1.0 to 200 mg, and such unit doses may be administered more than once a day, for example two or three a day. Such therapy may extend for a number of weeks or months. The following Examples illustrate the preparation of compounds of the invention.
Description 1 l-Acetyl-6-aminoindoline
6-Nitroindoline (15.63g, 0.095 mol) was refluxed for 0.25 h in acetic anhydride (100 ml), cooled, and the precipitate filtered and washed with water, before drying in vacuo. This material (16.6g, 0.08 mol) was hydrogenated in ethanol (500 ml) over 10% palladium on charcoal (3.4g of 50% paste in water). The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was evaporated to leave the title compound as an off-white/cream powder (12.59g; 89%).

2 -Dihydro-l'-methylspiro[furo[3,2-f]indole-3,4'-piperidine]
A stirred solution of r-methyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydrospiro[furo[3,2-f]indole-3,4'-piperidine] (D6, l.Og, 4.1 mmole) in dichloromethane (70 ml) at room temp, under argon was treated with manganese dioxide (0.68g, 8.2 mmole). The mixture was stirred for 18 hours, then additional manganese dioxide was added (0.30g, 2.4 mmole). The mixture was stirred for an additional 24 hours, then filtered through a pad of kieselguhr and the filtrate concentrated under vacuum. The two components present were separated by chromatography on neutral alumina. Elution with ether gave the title compound as a white solid (0.41g, 41%), further elution with ethyl acetate gave the second component.

A solution of 2,3-dihydro-l'-methylspiro[furo[3,2-f]indole-3,4'-piperidine] (D7, 187 mg, 0.77 mmole) in dry THF (3 ml) was added dropwise over 0.25 hours to a stirred solution of ethylmagnesium bromide (0.80 mmole) in dry THF (5 ml) at room temp, under argon and the resulting mixture heated at 40°C for 30 minutes. The dark green solution was then cooled to 0°C and treated dropwise over 5 minutes with a solution of 2'-methyl-4'-(5- methyl-l,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)biphenyl-4-carbonyl chloride (265 mg, 0.85 mmole, WO9619477-A1, Example 1) in dry THF (3 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temp, for 0.5 h, then at 40°C for 0.75h, then concentrated under vacuum. The residue was treated with 10% Na2CO3 solution and extracted with dichloromethane. The extract was dried (Na2SO4), concentrated in vacuo and the residual brown solid chromatographed on silica gel eluting with 0-5% methanol chloroform. This afforded the 1,3-diaroylated product (70 mg), which was treated with methanol (10 ml), 10% NaOH solution (10 ml) and dichloromethane (10 ml) and the two-phase system stirred at room temp, for 1 h. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (2 x 30 ml) and the combined extract dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by preparative plate TLC on silica gel eluting with 10% methanol/chloroform and the oil obtained was crystallised from ethyl acetate to afford the title compound as a beige solid (21 mg).
