Description

TITLE OF THE INVENTION SUBSTITUTED PYRAZOLES, ISOXAZOLES AND ISOTHIAZOLES AS NEUROTENSIN ANTAGONISTS INTRODUCTION OF THE INVENTION This invention is concerned with a method'of treating disease states mediated by neurotensin by the administration to a patient in need of treatment of a therapeutically effective amount of a neurotensin antagonist which is a substituted pyrazoles, isoxazoles and isothiazoles of structural formula I::
As neurotensin antagonists these compounds find utility in the treatment of CNS dysfunctions such as psychoses, depression, cognitive dysfunction, such as Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, tardive dyskinesia, drug dependency, panic attack and mania The neurotensin antagonist property also imparts to the compounds utility in GI disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, cholic, ulcer, GI tumors, dyspepsia, pancreatitis, esophagitis and gastroparesis. The known ability of neurotensin to release mast cell histamine indicates that antagonists will be useful in the treatment of allergic and inflammatory conditions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Neurotensin (NT) is a tridecapeptide hormone (pGlu-Leu-Tyr-Glu-Asn-Lys-Pro-Arg-Arg-Pro Tyr-Ile-Leu-OH), originally isolated from the bovine hypothalamus (Carraway, R. and Leeman, S. E., J.
Biol. Chem.,248, 6854 (1973)], has subsequently been shown to be distributed in the brain (Uhl, G. R., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 74, 4059-4063 (1977), gastrointestinal tract C 1). Kitabgi, P., Carraway, R. and Leeman, S. E., J. Biol. Chem., 251, 7053 (1976); 2). Carraway, R., Kitabgi, P., and Leeman, S. E., J. Biol. Chem., 253, 7996 (1978); 3).Helmstadler, V., Taugner, C., Feurle, G. E. and Frossman, W. G., Histochemistry, 53, 35-41 (1977)] and pancreas (Feurle, G. E. and Niestroj, S., Pancreas, 6, 202-207 (1991) and references cited therein) of various animals including human (Mai, J.
K., et al., Neuroscience, 22, 499-524 (1987)].
Although the physiological role of neurotensin has not yet been clearly understood, this endogenous peptide participates in a wide spectrum of central (1). Prange, A. J. and Nemeroff, C. B., Annal. NY Acad. Sciences, 400, 368-375 (1982); 2). Stowe, Z.
N.and Nemeroff, C. B., Life Sci., 49, 987-1002, (1991); 3) Kitabgi, P., Neurochem. Int., 14, 111-119 (1989); 4). Levant and Nemeroff, C. B., Current topics in Neuroendocrinology, 8, 231-262 (1988)] and peripheral (Leeman, S. E., Aronin, N. and Ferris, C., Hormone Res., 38, 93-132 (1982)) biological functions.
Neurotensin is also known to release mast cell histamine, indicating that antagonists will be useful in the treatment of allergic and inflammatory conditions, as well. E, Rossei, S.S. and Miller, R.J., Life Sci., 31, 509-516 (1982) and Kurose, M.
and Saeki, K., Eur. J. Pharmacol., 76, 129-136 (1981).] Neurotensin, like most other peptides, is unable to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
However, certain peripheral effects of neurotensin have been observed after central administration of thepeptide (Prange, A. J. and Nemeroff, C. B., Annal. NY Acad. Sciences, 400, 368-391 (1982). The direct application of neurotensin into the brain causes hypothermia, potentiation of barbiturate induced sedation, catalepsy, antinociception, blockade of psychostimulant-induced locomotor activity and reduced food consumption. In the central nervous system (CNS), neurotensin behaves as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator (1) Uhl, G. R.
and Snyder, S. H., Eur. J. Pharmacol., 41, 89-91 (1977); 2) Uhl, G. R., Annal. NY Acad. Sciences, 400, 132-149 (1982)], and has been shown to have close anatomical and biochemical associations with the dopaminergic (DA) system (Nemeroff, C. B., .
Annal. NY Acad. Sciences, 400, 330-344 (1982)].
Neurotensin increases the synthesis and the turnover of DA in rat brain. Acute and chronic treatment with clinically efficacious antipsychotic drugs (e.g., haloperidol, chloropromazine) have consistently demonstrated an increase in neurotensin concentrations in the nucleus accumbens and striatum while phenothiazines that are not antipsychotics did not produce this increase. Behaviorally, neurotensin, after central administration, mimics the effects of systemically administered neuroleptics. However, unlike classical neuroleptics (which primarily acts on D2 receptors), neurotensin fails to bind to dopamine receptors or inhibit cAMP accumulation following DA receptor activation. Neurotensin does not block the stereotypy induced by DA agonists.The post-mortem studies of patients with schizophrenia showed an increase in the level of neurotensin in the Brodman's area 32 of human brain (Nemeroff, C. B., et. al., Science., 221, 972-975 (1983) and references cited therein], which suggest possible roles of neurotensin in the pathophysiology of this disease.
Neurotensin receptors have also been implicated in Parkinson's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy (Chinaglia, G. et al., Neuroscience, 39, 351-360 (1990)].
Of the total body neurotensin in many mammalian species, more than 80% is present in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the distal small intestine in the endocrine like N-cells. In the gut, neurotensin stimulates pancreatic secretion (Sakamoto, T.,et al, Surgery, 96, 146-53 (1984)], inhibits gastric acid secretion and gastric emptying E Blackburn, A. M.,Lancet, 1, 987-989 (1980)].
Neurotensin also stimulates the growth of small intestinal mucosa in an isolated defunctional loop of jejunum, which suggests a direct systemic effect of neurotensin in the gut. In addition, neurotensin can stimulate pancreatic exocrine secretion in mammals (Iwatsuki, K., et al., Clin. Expt. Pharmacol.
Physiol., 18, 475-481 (1991) and references cited therein].
From the structural work, it is evident that the biological activity of neurotensin resides within the carboxy terminal five or six amino acid residues.
The C-terminal hexapeptide NT8-13 has displayed full biological activity of the tridecapeptide. In contrast, all amino terminal partial sequences are essentially inactive (Leeman, S. E. and Carraway, R.
E., Annal. NY Acad. Sciences, 400, 1-16 (1982)]. The C-terminal COOH group and two Arg residues are essential for the biological activity of NT813 as well as neurotensin. L-amino acids are required at positions-9,10,11 and 13, and only Arg8 can be replaced by D-Arg without loss of any activity. At the position-ll,. an aromatic amino acid is essential.
Similarly, alkyl side-chains of Ile12 and Leu13 are also necessary for full biological activity (Kitabgi, P., Annal. NY Acad. Sciences, 400, 37-53 (1982)].
Most of the analogues of neurotensin examined generally behaved as agonists. However, two analogues D-Trp11-NT and Tyr(Me)ll-NT have displayed partial antagonist activity (sioux, F. R.,et al., Eur. J.
Pharmacol., 66, 373-379 (1980)].
The compounds useful in'the novel method of treatment of this invention are known in the art having been published under the Patent Cooperation Treaty as International Application number WO 9115479 (Merck & Co., Inc.) where they are alleged to be angiotensin II receptor antagonists useful in the treatment of hypertension and ocular hypertension.
Although there are reports of peptidic neurotensin antagonists, they are unstable and not orally active and none are clinically available.
There are no reports of non-peptidic neurotensin antagonists.
Now with this invention there are provided non-p-eptidic neurotensin antagonists.

The final pellet is resuspended at a concentration of 8 mg tissue (wet weight) per 0.750 ml of 50 mM Tris HC1, pH 7.4, which also contains 1 mM EDTA, 4 Fg/ml bacitracin, 5 M levocabastine HCl, 1 mM phenanthroline, 10 g/ml soybean trypsin inhibitor and 100 FM phenyl methyl sulfonyl fluoride.Assay tubes (13 x 100 polypropylene) receive 1) 100 l buffer or 10 M neurotensin (for non-specific binding) 2) 100 l of 60 pM F125I]neurotensin 3) 20 > 1 test compounds 4) 750 l tissue suspension and 5) enough buffer to bring final volume to 1 ml. After 30 minutes at room temp, the samples are filtered using a Brandel M24 cell harvestor with GF/B filtermats that have been presoaked in 0.2% polyethyleneimine for 2 hours. The tubes are rinsed with 3 x 4 ml of ice cold lOmM Tris buffer (pH 7.4 at room temperature). The filter discs are placed in 12 x i5 mM polypropylene tubes for counting on as Packard Multu-Prias gamma counter.
HUMAN HT-29 CELL MEMBRANE ASSAY HT-29 cells were routinely grown in 225 cm2 Costar tissue culture flasks at 37 C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% C02/95% air in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with high glucose containing 50 U/ml penicillin, 50 g/ml streptomycin, 5% fetal bovine serum and 5% newborn calf serum. Cells were subcultured with 0.25% trypsin at a ratio of 1:6 with confluence being reached at 48 to 72 hrs. Cells from confluent flasks (approx. 1 x 108 cells/flask) were harvested by scraping. The cells were pelleted by centrifugation (1000 x g, 5 min), resuspended in 50 mM Tris HC1, pH 7.4, and homogenized with a polytron (setting 7 for 10 sec.). Cell membranes were washed twice by centrifugation < 50,000 x g, 15 min) and rehomogenization.The resulting pellet was either frozen at -70 C for future use or run directly in the assay by resuspending at a concentration of 0.5 x 106 cells per 0.750 ml of assay buffer (50 mM Tris HC1, pH 7.4, containing 1 mM EDTA, 40 Fg/ml bacitracin, 1 mM phenanthroline, 10 g/ml soybean trypsin inhibitor and 100 SM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride).
