Definitions
- the present invention relates to a class of sulphonyl derivatives which act on serotonin receptors (also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT receptors). More particularly, the invention concerns a class of arylsulphonylbenzyl ethers. These compounds are potent and selective antagonists of the human 5-HT 2A receptor and are therefore useful as pharmaceutical agents, especially in the treatment and/or prevention of adverse conditions of the central nervous system, including sleep disorders such as insomnia, psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and psychiatric disorders such as anxiety.
- Compounds of the invention typically display more effective binding to the human 5-HT 2A receptor than to other human receptors such as D 2 , 5HT 2C and DCr receptors. They can therefore be expected to manifest fewer side-effects than compounds which do not discriminate in their binding affinity between such receptors. In particular these compounds have lower effects on the DCr receptors and there is a separation of the desired effect from side effects such as cardiac effects.
- the compounds of the present invention are effective in the treatment of neurological conditions including sleep disorders such as insomnia, psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, and also depression, anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, pain, eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, and dependency or acute toxicity associated with narcotic agents such as LSD or MDMA; and moreover are beneficial in controlling the extrapyramidal symptoms associated with the administration of neuroleptic agents. They are also effective in the lowering of intraocular pressure and hence in treating glaucoma, and may also be effective in treating menopausal symptoms, in particular hot flushes (see Waldinger et al, Maturitas, 2000, 36, 165- 8).
- the compounds according to the present invention are potent and selective 5-HT 2A receptor antagonists, suitably having a human 5-HT 2A receptor binding affinity (K 1 ) of 100 nM or less, typically of 50 nM or less and preferably of 10 nM or less.
- the compounds of the invention may possess at least a 10- fold selective affinity, suitably at least a 20-fold selective affinity and preferably at least a 50-fold selective affinity, for the human 5-HT 2A receptor relative to the human dopamine D 2 receptor and/or the human DCr and/or 5-HT 2c receptors.
- Preferred compounds show selectivities of at least 100-fold relative to the human 5-HT 2c receptor.

Abstract
Compounds of formula (I) are potent and selective antagonists of the 5-HT2A receptor, and hence are useful in treatment of various CNS disorders.
Description
ARYLSULFONYL BENZYL ETHERS AS 5-HT,Λ ANTAGONISTS
The present invention relates to a class of sulphonyl derivatives which act on serotonin receptors (also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT receptors). More particularly, the invention concerns a class of arylsulphonylbenzyl ethers. These compounds are potent and selective antagonists of the human 5-HT2A receptor and are therefore useful as pharmaceutical agents, especially in the treatment and/or prevention of adverse conditions of the central nervous system, including sleep disorders such as insomnia, psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and psychiatric disorders such as anxiety.
Compounds of the invention typically display more effective binding to the human 5-HT2A receptor than to other human receptors such as D2, 5HT2C and DCr receptors. They can therefore be expected to manifest fewer side-effects than compounds which do not discriminate in their binding affinity between such receptors. In particular these compounds have lower effects on the DCr receptors and there is a separation of the desired effect from side effects such as cardiac effects.
By virtue of their potent human 5-HT2A receptor antagonist activity, the compounds of the present invention are effective in the treatment of neurological conditions including sleep disorders such as insomnia, psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, and also depression, anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, pain, eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, and dependency or acute toxicity associated with narcotic agents such as LSD or MDMA; and moreover are beneficial in controlling the extrapyramidal symptoms associated with the administration of neuroleptic agents. They are also effective in the lowering of intraocular pressure and hence in treating glaucoma, and may also be effective in treating menopausal symptoms, in particular hot flushes (see Waldinger et al, Maturitas, 2000, 36, 165- 8).
Various classes of compounds containing inter alia a sulphonyl moiety are described in WO 2005/047246, WO 2005/047247, WO 03/099786, WO 2004/101518, WO 01/74797, WO 00/43362, WO 96/35666, EP-A-0261688, EP-0304888, and US Patents 4,218,455 and 4,128,552, DE-A-3901735 and Fletcher et al, J. Med. Chent., 2002, 45, 492-503. None of these publications, however, discloses or suggests the particular class of compounds provided by the present invention.
The compounds according to the present invention are potent and selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonists, suitably having a human 5-HT2A receptor binding affinity (K1) of 100 nM or less, typically of 50 nM or less and preferably of 10 nM or less. The compounds of the invention may possess at least a 10- fold selective affinity, suitably at least a 20-fold selective affinity and preferably at least a 50-fold selective affinity, for the human 5-HT2A receptor relative to the human dopamine D2 receptor and/or the human DCr and/or 5-HT2c receptors. Preferred compounds show selectivities of at least 100-fold relative to the human 5-HT2c receptor. According to the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, a compound of formula I:
I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; wherein m is 0, 1, 2 or 3; n is 0, 1 or 2; t is 1 or 2;
A represents CH or N;
A1 and A2 each represent CH or N but do not both represent N:
E represents a chemical bond or a straight or branched alkylene chain containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, optionally incorporating an oxygen atom to form an ether linkage;
Z is selected from halogen, CN, nitro, CF3, OCF3, -Ra, -ORa, -SRa, -SORa, -SO2Ra, -SO2NRaRb, - NRaRb, -NRaCORb, -NRaCO2Rb, -NRaCO2NRaRb, -NRaS(O)tRa, -NRaSO2NRaRb, -CORa, -CO2Ra, - CONRaRb, -CRa=NORb or a five- or six-membered heteroaromatic ring optionally bearing up to 2 substituents selected from halogen, CN, CF3, Ci-6alkyl, Ci-6alkoxy, Ci-6alkylthio, amino, Ci.6alkylamino
or the moiety -E-Z may combine with an adjacent R2 group as defined below; Ra and Rb independently represent H or a hydrocarbon group of up to 7 carbon atoms which is optionally substituted with up to 3 fluorine atoms and optionally with Cl, Br, CN, OH,
Ci- 4alkylthio, amino,
or Ra and Rb, when linked through a nitrogen atom, together represent the residue of a heterocyclic ring of 4, 5 or 6 members, optionally bearing up to 3 substituents selected from halogen, CN, CF3, oxo, OH,
and
each R1 independently represents halogen, CN, OH, Ci-4 alkoxy or hydroxymethyl; each R2 independently represents halogen, CN, CONH2,

which is optionally substituted with halogen, CN, CF3, ORa, CO2Ra, C0NRaRb or NRaRb.
In a particular embodiment of the invention, -E-Z does not combine with an adjacent R2 group. Compounds of formula I in which -E-Z is other than H are believed to be novel, and constitute a further aspect of the invention. Compounds of formula I in which m is 1 or 2 and R1 represents fluorine are believed to be novel, and constitute a further aspect of the invention.
Where a variable occurs more than once in formula I or in a substituent group thereof, the individual occurrences of that variable are independent of each other, unless otherwise specified.
As used herein, the expression "hydrocarbon group" refers to groups consisting solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Such groups may comprise linear, branched or cyclic structures, singly or in any
combination consistent with the indicated maximum number of carbon atoms, and may be saturated or unsaturated, including aromatic when the indicated maximum number of carbon atoms so permits unless otherwise indicated.
As used herein, the expression "Ci-Xalkyl" where x is an integer greater than 1 refers to straight- chained and branched alkyl groups wherein the number of constituent carbon atoms is in the range 1 to x. Particular alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl and t-butyl. Derived expressions such as "C2-6alkenyl", "hydroxyCi-6alkyl", "heteroarylCi-6alkyl", "C2-6alkynyl" and "Ci-6alkoxy" are to be construed in an analogous manner. Most suitably, the number of carbon atoms in such groups is not more than 6. The term "halogen" as used herein includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, of which fluorine and chlorine are preferred and fluorine particularly preferred.
The expression "C3-6cycloalkyl" as used herein refers to nonaromatic monocyclic hydrocarbon ring systems comprising from 3 to 6 ring atoms.

Alternatively, where the compound of the invention carries an acidic moiety, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be formed by neutralisation of said acidic moiety with a suitable base. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts thus formed include alkali metal salts such as sodium or potassium salts; ammonium salts; alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium or magnesium salts; and salts formed with suitable organic bases, such as amine salts (including pyridinium salts) and quaternary ammonium salts.
When the compounds according to the invention have one or more asymmetric centres, they may accordingly exist as enantiomers. Where the compounds according to the invention possess two or more asymmetric centres, they may additionally exist as diastereoisomers.

In a particular embodiment, the invention provides a compound of formula IV:
rv or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; where all the variables have the same meanings and preferred identities as before.
Specific compounds useful in this invention include those compounds exemplified hereinafter and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
The compounds of formula I have an activity as antagonists of the human 5-HT2A receptor and hence find use in the treatment or prevention of disorders mediated by 5-HT2A receptor activity.
The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more compounds of formula I and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Preferably these compositions are in unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, capsules, powders, granules, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, metered aerosol or liquid sprays, drops, ampoules, transdermal patches, auto-injector devices or suppositories; for oral, parenteral, intranasal, sublingual or rectal administration, or for administration by inhalation or insufflation. The principal active ingredient typically is mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, e.g. conventional tableting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate and dicalcium phosphate, or gums, dispersing agents, suspending agents or surfactants such as sorbitan monooleate and polyethylene glycol, and other pharmaceutical diluents, e.g. water, to form a homogeneous preformulation composition containing a compound of the present invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This preformulation composition is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention. Typical unit dosage forms contain from 1 to 100 mg, for example 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 mg, of the active ingredient. Tablets or pills of the novel composition can be coated or otherwise compounded to
provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permits the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol and cellulose acetate.
The liquid forms in which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, liquid- or gel-filled capsules, suitably flavoured syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavoured emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Suitable dispersing or suspending agents for aqueous suspensions include synthetic and natural gums such as tragacanth, acacia, alginate, dextran, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, poly(ethylene glycol), poly(vinylpyrrolidone) or gelatin. The present invention also provides a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for use in a method of treatment of the human body. Preferably the treatment is for a condition mediated by 5-HT2A receptor activity.
The present invention further provides the use of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the manufacture of a medicament for treating or preventing a condition mediated by 5-HT2A receptor activity.
Also disclosed is a method of treatment of a subject suffering from or prone to a condition mediated by 5-HT2A receptor activity which comprises administering to that subject an effective amount of a compound according to formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
In one aspect of the invention, the condition mediated by 5-HT2A receptor activity is sleep disorder, in particular insomnia. In a further aspect of the invention, the condition mediated by 5-HT2A receptor activity is selected from psychotic disorders (such as schizophrenia), depression, anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, pain, glaucoma, eating disorders (such as anorexia nervosa), dependency or acute toxicity associated with narcotic agents such as LSD or MDMA, and hot flushes associated with the menopause. In the treatment envisaged herein, for example of insomnia or schizophrenia, a suitable dosage level is about 0.01 to 250 mg/kg per day, preferably about 0.05 to 100 mg/kg per day, and especially about 0.05 to 5 mg/kg per day. The compounds may be administered on a regimen of 1 to 4 times per day but preferably once per day, for example before going to bed.
If desired, the compounds according to this invention may be co-administered with another sleep inducing or anti-schizophrenic or anxiolytic medicament. Such co-administration may be desirable where a patient is already established on sleep inducing or anti-schizophrenic or anxiolytic treatment regime involving other conventional medicaments. In particular, for the treatment of sleep disorders, the compounds of the invention may be co-administered with a GABAA receptor agonist such as gaboxadol, or
with a short term and/or rapid-onset hypnotic such as Zolpidem, or a benzodiazepine, a barbiturate, a prokineticin modulator, an antihistamine, trazodone, or derivative of trazodone as disclosed in WO 03/068148.
According to a further aspect of the invention, there is provided the combination of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof and gaboxadol for use in treatment or prevention of sleep disorders, schizophrenia or depression.
Also according to the invention, there is provided a method of treatment or prevention of sleep disorders, schizophrenia or depression comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof in combination with gaboxadol. As used herein, the expression "in combination with" requires that therapeutically effective amounts of both a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof and gaboxadol are administered to the subject, but places no restriction on the manner in which this is achieved. Thus, the two species may be combined in a single dosage form for simultaneous administration to the subject, or may be provided in separate dosage forms for simultaneous or sequential administration to the subject. Sequential administration may be close in time or remote in time, e.g. one species administered in the morning and the other in the evening. The separate species may be administered at the same frequency or at different frequencies, e.g. one species once a day and the other two or more times a day. The separate species may be administered by the same route or by different routes, e.g. one species orally and the other parenterally, although oral administration of both species is preferred, where possible. According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof and gaboxadol.
The invention further provides the use, for the manufacture of a medicament for treatment or prevention of sleep disorders, schizophrenia or depression, of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof and gaboxadol.
The invention further provides a kit comprising a first medicament comprising a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof and a second medicament comprising gaboxadol together with instructions for administering said medicaments sequentially or simultaneously to a patient suffering from a sleep disorder, schizophrenia or depression. As used herein, the term "gaboxadol" is inclusive of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo[5,4-c]pyridin-3-ol in free base or zwitterionic form and also of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof such as the hydrochloride salt. Most suitably, gaboxadol is in the form of a crystalline monohydrate of the zwitterionic form.
Compounds of formula I may be prepared by reaction of a benzyl bromide of formula (Ia) with a phenol of formula (2):
where m, n, t, A, A1, A2, Z, E, R1, R2 and R3 have the same meanings as before. The reaction may be carried out at elevated temperature (e.g. about 1000C) in DMF in the presence of base (e.g. an inorganic base such as potassium carbonate).
Bromides (Ia) are available by treatment of alcohols (Ib) with a brominating agent such as phosphorus tribromide or a combination of carbon tetrabromide and triphenylphosphine. Alcohols (Ib) are available by reduction of aldehydes (3):
(3) where n, A, A1, A2, Z, E, R1, and R3 have the same meanings as before, followed by oxidation of the thioether group. The reduction is suitably carried out using sodium borohydride, e.g. in a methanol - THF mixture at ambient temperature. Oxidation using one molar equivalent of oxidant gives the sulphoxides (t = 1 in formula (Ib)) while use of excess oxidant gives the sulphones (t = 2 in formula (Ib)). Suitable oxidants include Oxone® and peroxyacids such as m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. A preferred oxidant for use in preparing the sulphones is hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid in the presence of sodium tungstate. Compounds (3) are available by reaction of thiols (4a) with halobenzaldehydes (5):
(4a) Y = SH
(5) (4b) Y = SO2-Na+ where Hal represents halide (eg. Cl, F) and n, A, A1, A2, Z, E, R1, and R3 have the same meanings as before. The reaction takes place at elevated temperature (e.g. 12O0C) in the presence of base (preferably an inorganic base such as potassium carbonate) in DMSO.
An alternative route to alcohols (Ib) in which t is 2 comprises reaction of fluorobenzaldehydes (5) with sulphinate salts (4b), followed by reduction of the aldehyde group as before. The reaction takes place in DMSO solution at elevated temperature (e.g. about 100 - 13O0C) (Ulman et al, J.Org.Chem. (1989), 54(19), 4691-2).
An alternative route to compounds of formula I in which t is 2 and A1 and A2 are both CH comprises reaction of a sulphura rattee s ! alt of formula (6a) with an aryl bromide or iodide of formula (7):
(6a) X = SO2-Na+ (7)
(Ob) X = SCH3 (Oc) X = Br where Hal represents Br or I and m, n, A, Z, E, R1, R2 and R3 have the same meanings as before. The reaction takes place in DMSO at elevated temperature (e.g. about 13O0C) in the presence of CuI.
The sulphurate salts (6a) are available by treatment of the corresponding thioanisoles (6b) sequentially with an oxidising agent (e.g. m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid), sodium acetate in acetic anhydride, magnesium peroxyphthalate, and sodium hydroxide.
Thioanisoles (6b) are obtainable by coupling of a phenol (2) with the appropriate A- (hydroxymethyl)thioanisole under standard Mitsonobu conditions (e.g. using diisopropylazodicarboxylate and Ph3P in THF at O0C).
An alternative route to sulphurate salts (6a) comprises coupling of the bromo-derivative (6c) with methyl 3-mercaptopropionate, oxidation of the resulting thioether to the corresponding sulphone, and treatment of the resulting arylsulphonylpropionate methyl ester with sodium methoxide to generate the sulphurate salt. Suitable conditions for this process are described in the examples section herein.
Where they are not themselves commercially available, the starting materials and reagents described above may be obtained from commercially available precursors by means of well known synthetic procedures and/or the methods disclosed in the Examples section herein.
It will be appreciated that any compound of formula I initially obtained from any of the above processes may, where appropriate, subsequently be elaborated into a further desired compound of formula I using techniques known from the art. For example, a bromo substituent represented by Z-E-, R1, R2 or R3 may be replaced by cyano by treatment with copper(I) cyanide in the presence of l-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), or with zinc cyanide in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0). The cyano group thereby obtained may in turn be converted into carboxamido by heating in mineral acid, e.g. 85% sulphuric acid at 100 C, or by treatment with potassium trimethylsilanolate, typically in tetrahydrofuran at reflux, or by treatment with alkaline hydrogen peroxide. Similarly, a fluoro substituent represented by Z-E- or R3 may be replaced by NRaRb or an optionally substituted N-linked heteroaryl moiety, e.g. imidazol-1-yl, pyrazol-1-yl, 1,2,3-triazol-l-yl or 1,2,4-triazol-l-yl, by treatment with HNRaRborthe appropriate optionally substituted N-containing heteroaryl compound, typically with heating in DMSO. Similarly, a bromo substituent represented by Z-E- may be replaced by an optionally substituted C-linked five- membered heteroaromatic ring, e.g. 2-methyltetrazol-5-yl or 1 -methyl- l,2,4-triazol-5-yl, by reaction with a
tributylstannyl derivative of the appropriate heteroaromatic compound, e.g. 2-methyl-5- tributylstannyltetrazole or l-methyl-5-tributylstannyl-l,2,4-triazole, in the presence of a transition metal catalyst such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0), typically with heating in a solvent such as N,N- dimethylformamide. A cyano substituent represented by Z-E- may be converted to CHO by diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAL-H) reduction and hydrolysis. A CHO substituent represented by Z- E- may be converted to CH2NRaRb by treatment with HNRaRb and sodium triacetoxyborohydride or sodium cyanoborohydride. A substituent CORa represented by Z-E- may be converted to CH(0H)Ra by reduction (e.g. using sodium borohydride) or to CRa(0H)Rb by treatment with R1TVIgHaI where Hal is Cl, Br or I. Compounds in which Z-E- take the form Z-(CH2)y-O- where y is 1, 2, 3, or 4 may be formed by treating the corresponding compounds in which Z-E- is F with Z-(CH2)yOH in the presence of strong base.
Such processes may also be used to prepare appropriately-substituted precursors of the compounds of Formula I and/or to manipulate the identity of R3. A preferred route to compounds (7) wherein A represents N, Hal is in the 2-position and Z-E- represents 1-hydroxyalkyl or 1-hydroxycycloalkyl attached to the 3-position comprises treatment of 2-bromopyridine with lithium diisopropylamide followed by the appropriate ketone.
Where the above-described processes for the preparation of the compounds of use in the invention give rise to mixtures of stereoisomers, these isomers may be separated by conventional techniques such as preparative chromatography. The compounds may be prepared in racemic form, or individual enantiomers may be prepared either by enantiospecific synthesis or by resolution. The compounds may, for example, be resolved into their component enantiomers by standard techniques such as preparative HPLC, or the formation of diastereomeric pairs by salt formation with an optically active acid, such as di-p-toluoyl-D- tartaric acid and/or di-p-toluoyl-L-tartaric acid, followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the free base. The compounds may also be resolved by formation of diastereomeric esters or amides, followed by chromatographic separation and removal of the chiral auxiliary. During any of the above synthetic sequences it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This may be achieved by means of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, ed. J.F.W. McOmie, Plenum Press, 1973; and T. W. Greene & P.G.M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, 1991. The protecting groups may be removed at a convenient subsequent stage using methods known from the art.
Compounds were tested for their binding to the 5-HT2A receptor and to other receptors such as 5-HT2C and DCr using the methodology described in Fletcher et al, J. Med. Chem., 2002, 45, 492-503.
