Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel aryl- and heteroarylpiperazines, to the use of these compounds as pharmaceutical compositions, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and to a method of treatment employing these compounds and compositions.
  • the present compounds show a high and selective binding affinity to the histamine H3 receptor indicating histamine H3 receptor antagonistic, inverse agonistic or agonistic activity. As a result, the compounds are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders related to the histamine H3 receptor.
  • histamine H3 receptor The existence of the histamine H3 receptor has been known for several years and the receptor is of current interest for the development of new medicaments. Recently, the human histamine H3 receptor has been cloned.
  • the histamine H3 receptor is a presynaptic autorecep- tor located both in the central and the peripheral nervous system, the skin and in organs such as the lung, the intestine, probably the spleen and the gastrointestinal tract. Recent evidence suggests that the H3 receptor shows intrinsic, constitutive activity, in vitro as well as in vivo (ie it is active in the absence of an agonist. Compounds acting as inverse agonists can inhibit this activity.
  • the histamine H3 receptor has been demonstrated to regulate the release of histamine and also of other neurotransmitters such as serotonin and acetylcholine.
  • a his- tamine H3 receptor antagonist or inverse agonist would therefore be expected to increase the release of these neurotransmitters in the brain.
  • a histamine H3 receptor agonist leads to an inhibition of the biosynthesis of histamine and an inhibition of the release of histamine and also of other neurotransmitters such as serotonin and acetylcholine.
  • novel compounds which interact with the histamine H3 receptor would be a highly desirable contribution to the art.
  • the present invention provides such a contribution to the art being based on the finding that a novel class of aryl- and heteroarylpiperazines has a high and specific affinity to the histamine H3 receptor.
  • the present compounds are useful in the treatment of a wide range of conditions and disorders in which an interaction with the histamine H3 receptor is beneficial.
  • the compounds may find use eg in the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system, the cardiovascular system, the pulmonary system, the gastrointestinal system and the endocrinological system.

  • This compound was prepared by reductive cyclopropylation of 6,7-dimethoxy-2-(3- methylpiperazin-1-yl)quinoline as described by Gillaspy, M. L.; Lefker, B. A.; Hada, W. A.; and Hoover, D. J. in Tetrahedron Lett. 1995, 36 (41), 7399-7402.
  • This compound was prepared using the General Procedure (B) from 1-cyclopropylpiperazine and 6-chloronicotinic acid pyrrolidide.
  • This product (58.8 g; 218 mmol) was mixed with ice-cold concentrated sulfuric acid (390 ml) and the mixture was stirred first at 0 oC for 15 min (until almost all acrylamide had dissolved) and then at room temperature for 4 h. The mixture was then poured into ice water (3 I) and allowed to stand overnight. The mixture was filtered, and the solid was washed with water. The solid was transferred into a flask with the aid of acetonitrile, ethanol, and dichloromethane, and the suspension was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was resuspended in acetonitrile (300 ml), heated to reflux, and allowed to stand at room tempera- ture overnight. Filtration and drying of the solid under reduced pressure yielded 31.3 g (64%) of 6-bromo-2-quinolone as a yellow solid.
  • This quinolone (6.28 g, 28.0 mmol) was mixed with copper(l) cyanide (5.02 g, 56.1 mmol) and NMP (15 ml), and the mixture was stirred under reflux (202 oC) for 6 h, and then at room temperature overnight. Water (150 ml) was added, the mixture was filtered, and the solid was washed with water. The solid was resuspended in 1N hydrochloric acid (200 ml) and iron(lll) chloride hexahydrate (17.8 g) was added.
  • This compound was prepared using the General Procedure (B) from 1-cyclopropylpiperazine and 3-chloro-6-phenylpyridazine.
  • This compound was prepared using the General Procedure (B) from 1-cyclopropylpiperazine and 3-chloro-6-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)pyridazine.
  • This compound was prepared by reductive cyclopropylation of 2-(3-methylpiperazin-1- yl)quinoline as described by Gillaspy, M. L.; Lefker, B. A.; Hada, W. A.; and Hoover, D. J. in Tetrahedron Lett. 1995, 36 (41), 7399-7402.
  • This compound was prepared using the General Procedure (B) from 1 -isopropylpiperazine and 2-chloro-6-(cyclopropylmethyloxy)quinoline.
  • the required 2-chloro-6- (cyclopropylmethyloxy)quinoline was prepared by treatment of 6-(cyclopropylmethyloxy)-2- quinolone with POCI 3 .
  • 6-(Cyclopropylmethyloxy)-2-quinolone was prepared from the corre- sponding 6-hydroxyquinolone by treatment with (bromomethyl)cycylopropane and potassium carbonate in dimethyl formamide in the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium iodide.
  • This compound was prepared using the General Procedure (B) from 1 -isopropylpiperazine and 2-chloro-6-(1-pyrazolyl)quinoline.
  • the required 2-chloro-6-(1-pyrazolyl)quinoline was prepared by treatment of 6-(1-pyrazolyl)-2-quinolone with POCI 3 .
  • 6-(1-Pyrazolyl)-2-quinolone was prepared in the following way:
  • This compound was prepared using the General Procedure (B) from 1 -isopropylpiperazine and 2-chloro-6-hydroxyquinoline.
  • This compound was prepared using the General Procedure (B) from 1-cyclopropylpiperazine and 2-chloro-6-cyanoquinoline.
