l-Phenyl-4-(1-[2-aryl]cyclopropyl)methylpiperazines: Dopamine Receptor Ligands
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to l-phenyl-4-(1-[2-
aryl]cyclopropyl)methylpiperazine derivatives and to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds. It also relates to the use of such compounds in the manufacture of medicaments for treatment or prevention of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and other central nervous system diseases.
Description of the Related Art
The therapeutic effect of conventional antipsychotics, known as neuroleptics, is generally believed to be exerted through blockade of dopamine receptors. However, neuroleptics are frequently responsible for undesirable extrapyrimidal side effects (EPS) and tardive dyskinesias, which are attributed to blockade of D2 receptors in the striatal region of the brain. The dopamine D4 receptor subtype has recently been identified (Nature, 350: 610 (Van Tol et al., 1991); Nature, 347: 146 (Sokoloff et al., 1990)). Its unique localization in limbic brain areas and its differential recognition of various antipsychotics indicates that the D4 receptor plays a major role in the etiology of schizophrenia. Selective D4 antagonists are considered effective antipsychotics free from the neurological side effects displayed by conventional neuroleptics.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In a first aspect the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and (a) a compound of the formula:

Dopamine D4 receptors are concentrated in the limbic system (Science, 265: 1034 (Taubes, 1994)) which controls cognition and emotion. Therefore, compounds that interact with these receptors are useful in the treatment of cognitive disorders. Such disorders include cognitive deficits which are a significant component of the negative symptoms (social withdrawal and unresponsiveness) of schizophrenia. Other
3

disorders include those involving memory impairment or attention deficit disorders.
Compounds and compositions of the present invention demonstrate high affinity and selectivity in binding to the D4 receptor sybtype. These compounds and compositions are therefore useful in treatment of a variety of neuropsychological disorders, such as, for example, schizophrenia, psychotic depression and mania. Other dopamine-mediated diseases such as Parkinsonism and tardive dyskinesias can also be treated directly or indirectly by modulation of D4 receptors.
Compounds and compositions of this invention are also useful in the treatment of depression, memory-impairment or Alzheimer's disease by modulation of D4 receptors since they exist selectively in areas known to control emotion and cognitive functions.
Described but not claimed are methods of treatment and/or prevention of neuropsychological or affective disorders including, for example, schizophrenia, mania, dementia, depression, anxiety, compulsive behavour, substance abuse, memory impairment, cognitive deficits, Parkinson-like motor disorders, e.g., Parkinsonism and dystonia, and motion disorders related to the use of neuroleptic agents. In addition, the compounds and compositions of the invention are useful for treatment of depression, memory-impairment or Alzheimer's disease. Further, the compounds and compositions of the present invention are useful for the treatment of other disorders that respond to dopaminergic blockade, e.g., substance abuse and obsessive compulsive disorder. These compounds and compositions are also useful in treating the extrapyramidal side effects associated with the use of conventional neuroleptic agents.

Additionally, when appropriately labeled, compounds and compositions of this invention are useful as probes for the localization of dopamine receptors. Localization of receptors may be performed in vitro, e.g., via autoradiography of tissue sections, or in vivo, e.g., via positron emission tomography (PET).

As shown, a 2-arylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid VII is prepared from a cinnamic acid VI through exposure to an appropriately substituted methylene iodide (R6R7CI2) and zinc-copper couple. Variations of this procedure (the Simmons-Smith reaction) are well known in the literature (see Organic Reactions, Vol. 20, pages 1-131, 1982). Carboxylic acid VII is then condensed with an appropriately substituted 1-phenylpiperazine (VIII) in the presence of a coupling agent to provide a cyclopropylcarboxamide IX. Suitable coupling agents include carbonyl diimidazole (CDI), dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), benzotriazol-l-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) or the like. Thereafter, compounds of Formula la may be prepared by reduction of IX with an appropriate reducing agent such as alane (AlH3) , borane (BH3) or lithium aluminum hydride. Coitpounds of Formula I can likewise be prepared starting with piperazine VIII. Thus, piperazine VIII can be alkylated with a suitable alkylating agent that allows for subsequent coupling with acid VII. Coupling may be carried out with a derivative of acid VII such as, for exaitple; a reduced form of the acid, i.e., an alcohol or aldehyde.
The compounds of general structure VI, VII. and VIII are either commercially available, known, or capable of being prepared by the methods known in the art. Where they are not commercially available, the compounds of general structure VI, VII and VIII may be prepared by procedures analogous to those described in literature. Those having skill in the art will recognize that the starting material may be varied and additional steps employed to produce compounds encompassed by the present invention.

The pharmaceutical utility of compounds of this invention is indicated by the following assays for dopamine receptor subtype affinity.
Determination of D2 And Receptor Binding Activity
Pellets of COS cells containing recombinantly produced D2 or D4 receptors from human are used for the assays. The sample is homogenized in 100 volumes (w/vol) of 0.05 M Tris HC1 buffer at 4° C and pH 7.4. The sample is then centrifuged at 3 0,000 x g and resuspended and rehomogenized. The sample is then centrifuged as described and the final tissue sample is frozen until use. The tissue is resuspended 1:20 (wt/vol) in 0.05 M Tris HCl buffer containing 100 mM NaCl.
Incubations are carried out at 48°C and contain 0.4 ml of tissue sample, 0.5 nM 3H-YM 09151-2 and the compound of interest in a total incubation of 1.0 ml. Nonspecific binding is defined as that binding found in the presence of 1 mM spiperone; without further additions, nonspecific binding is
WO 00/40572 PCT/US00/00275
less than 20% of total binding. The binding characteristics of examples of this patent for the D2 and D4 receptor subtypes are shown in Table 2.

The binding constants of compounds of Formula I for the D4 receptor, expressed in nM, generally range from about 0.1 10 nanomolar (nM) to about 50 nanomolar (nM). Preferably, such compounds have binding constraints of from about 0.1 to 10 nM. These compounds preferably have binding constants for the D2 receptor of at least about 50 nM although compounds having lower Da binding constants may be used, although somewhat less 15 preferably. Thus, the compounds of the invention are generally at least about 5 time more selective for the D4 receptor than the D2 receptor. Preferably, these compounds are at least 10, and more preferably at least 15-50, times more selective for the D4 receptor than the D2 receptor.
