Definitions

  • the compounds of the present invention are pro-drugs of a class of JV-thiazol-2-yl-benzamide derivatives having affinity for the adenosine 2A (A 2 A) receptor.
  • the compounds revert into A 2A -antagonists, which are useful in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders where an A 2A -receptor is implicated.
  • Examples of diseases where an A 2A -receptor is implicated are Parkinson's Disease (PD), Alzheimer's Disease, Huntington's disease (HD), epilepsies, cerebral ischemia, haemorrhagic stroke, neonatal ischemia and hypoxia, subarachnoid haemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, brain damage following cardiac arrest, and for the treatment of depression and psychosis disorders.
  • Parkinson's Disease PD
  • Alzheimer's Disease Alzheimer's Disease
  • Huntington's disease HD
  • epilepsies cerebral ischemia
  • haemorrhagic stroke neonatal ischemia and hypoxia
  • subarachnoid haemorrhage subarachnoid haemorrhage
  • traumatic brain injury brain damage following cardiac arrest
  • brain damage following cardiac arrest and for the treatment of depression and psychosis disorders.
  • Adenosine is present in all cells, including neurons and glia, of mammalian organisms where it modulates a variety of important physiological processes.
  • the action of adenosine is mediated by specific receptors, which belong to the family of G protein-coupled receptors.
  • Four adenosine receptors have been cloned and characterized, A 1 , A 2A , A 2 B and A 3 (Fredholm BB. et al., Pharmacol Rev., 1994, 46: 143-156).
  • the main intracellular signaling pathways involve the formation of cAMP, with A 1 and A 3 receptors causing inhibition of adenylate cyclase and A 2A and A 2 B receptors activating it (Olah M., Stiles GL., Pharmacol, Ther., 2000, 85: 55-75).
  • the receptor of interest here, A 2A is predominantly found in dopamine-rich areas, such as the basal ganglia components; the striatum and the globus pallidus, in various mammals, including humans.
  • the basal ganglia, with the striatum as a central component, are involved in integration of cortical, thalamic and limbic information to produce motor behaviours (for review see Svenningsson P.
  • a 2A and dopamine D 2 receptors are found closely co-localized on the striatopallidal GABAergic neurons, forming the so-called indirect output pathway from the striatum, which is involved in motor inhibition.
  • a 2A receptors is believed to contribute to control of motor behaviour by modulating the neurotransmission of GABA, dopamine, acetylcholine and glutamate in various ways.
  • PD Parkinson's disease
  • a 2A antagonists may be useful as monotherapy for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
  • a 2A antagonists may be capable of enhancing the effect of clinically used dopamine agonists and increase the time- period of dopaminergic drug response.
  • D 2 and A 2A receptors can be clearly exemplified in models of catalepsy, where D 2 receptor antagonists as well as A 2A receptor agonists induce catalepsy, which is counteracted by A 2A receptor antagonists and D 2 receptor agonists, respectively (see Svenningsson P. et al., Prog. Neurobiol., 1999, 59: 355-396 and Refs therein).
  • KW-6002 significantly improves motor impairment induced in non-human primates by MPTP, without causing dyskinesias, that is commonly described for long-term treatment with the dopamine agonist L-dopa (Kanda T. et al., Ann. Neurol, 1998, 43: 507- 513; Grondin R. et al, Neurology, 1999, 52: 1673-1677; Kanda T. et al., Exp. Neurol, 2000, 162: 321-327).
  • a 2A receptor antagonists show great potential as future drugs for long-term medication of PD patients, since they seem not only to reverse the motor impairment but also to slow down or stop the progress of the disease by promoting cell survival.
  • a 2A receptor antagonists have recently been reported in in vivo and in vitro models of different neurodegenerative diseases (for review see: Wardas J., Pol. J. Pharmacol, 2002, 54: 313-26 and Stone TW., Adv. Exp. Med. Biol, imi, 513: 249-80).
  • a 2A antagonists have been shown to be neuroprotective in different PD models like in MPTP (1- methyl-4 phenyl- 1, 2,3, 6-tetrahydropyridine) treated mice and 6-OHDA-lesioned rats.
  • MPTP 1- methyl-4 phenyl- 1, 2,3, 6-tetrahydropyridine
  • KW-6002 prevented functional loss of dopaminergic nerve terminals in the striatum as well as prevented gliosis normally induced around degenerating neurons (Ikeda K.
  • a 2A receptor antagonists have shown to decrease neuronal cell death after cerebral ischemia in neonatal and adult rats and gerbils (Gao Y., Phillis JW., Life ScI, 1994, 55(3): PL61-5; Monopoli A. et al., Neuroreport, 1998, 9(17): 3955-9).
  • a 2A knock out animals have been reported to be protected from neonatal hypoxic ischemia and transient focal ischemia (Bona E. et al., Neuropharmacology, 1997, 36(9): 1327-1338; Chen JF.
  • a 2A antagonists has also been reported in primary astrocytes, in a rat model of bFGF induced astrogliosis, an amyloid beta peptide 25-35 induced neurotoxicity in cerebral granule cells (CGCs) and model of QA induced neuronal cell death in rat organotypic slice cultures (Brambilla R. et al, GUa., 2003, 43: 190-194; Dall'Igna OP. et al., Br. J. Pharmacol, 2003, 138: 1207-1209; Tebano MT,. et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol, 2002, 253-257).
  • Adenosine is involved in modulation of seizures (Dragunow M. et al., Epilepsia, 1985, 26: 480-487), and anti-convulsive effects are mainly mediated via A 1 .
  • a 2A -antagonist can modulate receptor interaction (O'Kane EM., Stone TW., Eur. J. Pharm., 1998, 362: 17-25) and an A 2A -antagonist could thereby unmask protective Aj activity in epilepsy (De Sarro G. et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol, 1999, 371(2-3): 137-145; Ongini E. et al., Ann N Y Acad ScI, 1997, 825: 30-48.)
  • a 2A receptor antagonists can efficiently protect different neurons from various forms of insult induced neurodegeration (Abbracchio MP., Cattabeni F., Ann N Y Acad Set, 1999, 890: 79-92; Ongini E. et al., Ann N YAcadSci, 1997, 825: 30-48).
  • Adenosine and its analogues induce "depressant-like" effects in animal models of psychiatric disorders (Minor TR. et al., Behav Neurosci, 1994, 108: 265-276; Woodson JC. et al., Behav Neurosci., 1998, 112: 399-409). Moreover, these behavioural deficits were found to be reversed by adenosine A 2A receptor antagonists (Minor TR. et al., Behav. Brain Res., 2001, 120: 203-212). Further studies have shown that treatment with adenosine or 2- chloroadenosine increased immobility time in the mouse forced swimming test, another animal model of depression generally considered reliable (Porsolt RD. et al., Arch Int Pharmacodyn Ther. , 1977, 229: 327-336).
  • the A 2A receptor antagonists SCH58261 and KW6002 reduced the total immobility time in the mouse tail suspension test (El Yacoubi M. et al., Br J Pharmacol, 2001, 134: 68-77).
  • the antagonists SCH58261 and ZM241385 4-(2-[7-amino-2-(2-ft ⁇ ryl)[l,2,4]triazolo[2,3-a][l,3,5]triazin-5-ylamino]- ethyl)phenol were also found to reduce immobility when administered to mice previously screened for having high immobility time, while SCH58261 reduced immobility of mice that were selectively bred for their "helplessness" in this model (El Yacoubi M. et al., Br. J. Pharmacol, 2001, 134: 68-77).
  • a 2A knock-out mice show that these animals show a blunted response to psycho-stimulants such as amphetamine and cocaine, despite the fact that their expression and binding affinities of Dl and D2 receptors are unaffected (Chen JF. et al., Neurosci, 2000, 97: 195-204). Moreover, inactivation Of A 2A receptors has been shown to selectively attenuate amphetamine-induced behavioural sensitisation (Chen JF. et al., Neuropsychopharmacol , 2003, 28: 1086-1095). In addition, A 2A knockout mice show reduced startle and PPI of the acoustic startle (Wang JH. et al., Behav.
