Description

Novel Heterocyclic Derivatives and Their Use in the Treatment of Neurological Disorders FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to novel heterocyclic derivatives and pharmaceutically able salts thereof, pharmaceutical compositions f, pharmaceutical combinations thereof, and their use as medicaments, particularly for the ent of neurodegeneration via inhibition of BACE—1 or diabetes via inhibition of BACE—2.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION mer’s Disease is a devastating neurodegenerative er. Its sporadic forms affect an elderly population (sharp increase in incidence at >75 years of age), in addition, there are s familial forms with an onset of the disease in the fourth or fifth decade of life.
Pathologically, it is characterized by the ce of extracellular senile plaques, and intracellular neurofibrillar s in patient’s brains. The core tuent of the senile s are small, 4 kDa amyloid peptides. They are generated by the proteolytic processing ,1 5 of a large transmembrane protein, amyloid precursor protein (APP). Cleavage of APP by beta-secretase (BACE—1) releases the soluble APP-beta fragment, while the 99-amino acid long C—terminus remains tethered to the membrane. This C-terminal fragment is subsequently proteolytically processed by gamma-secretase (a membrane multi-enzyme complex) to generate amyloid peptides of various length, predominantly 40 and 42 amino acids long (Hardy J, Selkoe DJ (2002) Science; 297 (5580):353-356). lf, under pathologic conditions, the generation of these peptides occurs at an increased rate, or if their removal from the brain is disturbed, increased brain d peptide concentrations leads to the formation of oligomers, fibrils and eventually plaques (Farris W, et a/ (2007) Am.J. Pathol.; 171 (1):241-25‘l). It has been shown, that deposition of amyloid peptides and plaques in the brain is the first measurable event in the pathogenesis of mers Disease, and that it is the trigger for loss of synapses, synaptic contacts, and neurons (Grimmer T, et al (2009) Neurobiology of Aging; 30 (12):1902-1909). Brain atrophy caused by massive neuron loss is followed by impairments in cognition, memory, orientation and the ability to perform the tasks of daily living, i.e. clinically manifest dementia o A, et al (2009) Neurology; 73 (10):754-760).
BACE-‘l, also known as Asp2 or Memapsin 2, is a transmembrane ic protease highly expressed in neurons. It co-localizes with its substrate APP in Golgi and endocytic compartments (Willem M, Lammich 8, Haass C (2009) 8emin.Cell Dev.Biol; 20 (2):175-182).
Knock-out studies in mice have demonstrated the absence of amyloid peptide formation, while the animals are healthy and fertile (Ohno M, et a/ (2007) Neurobiol.Dis.; 26 (1):134- 145). Genetic ablation of BACE-1 in APP-overexpressing mice has demonstrated e of plaque formation and the reversal of cognitive deficits (Ohno M, et al (2004) Neuron; 41 (1)127-33). BACE-1 levels are elevated in the brains of sporadic Alzheimer’s e patients (Hampel H, Shen Y (2009) Scand. J. Clin. Lab. Invest; 69 (1)28-12).
Taken er, these findings suggest that the inhibition of BACE-‘l may be a favourable therapeutic strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease.
Beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 2 (BACE-2) is a transmembrane aspartic protease that is highly expressed in pancreatic B cells and other peripheral tissues (Brian D. Bennett, Safura Babu-Khan, Richard Loeloff, Jean-Claude Louis, Eileen Curran; Martin Citron, and Robert Vassar (2000) JJ. Biol. Chem. 275 (27) 20647—20651). BACE-2 is closely related to BACE-1 or beta secretase. However, despite structural and sequence similarities the substrate icity of BACE-1 and BACE—2 appear to be different. While AB or B-amyloid peptide is the main substrate of BACE-1, BACE-2 does not generate either form of AB (Vassar, R., Bennett, B. D., Babu-Khan, 8., Kahn, 8., Mendiaz, E. A., Denis, P., Teplow, D. 8., Ross, 8., Amarante, P., Loeloff, R., Luo, Y., Fisher, 8., Fuller, J., Edenson, 8., Lile, J., Jarosinski, M. A., Biere, A. L., Curran, E., Burgess, T., Louis, J.-C., Collins, F., Treanor, J., Rogers, 6., and Citron, M. (1999) e 286, 1).
Transmembrane protein 27 (TM EM27 or collectrin) plays an important role in B-cell proliferation and insulin secretion (Pinar Akpinar, Satoru Kuwajima, Jan Krtitzfeldt, and Markus 8toffel (2005) Tmem27: Cell Metabolism. 2(6) 385-397) and has been identified as a ate for BACE-2 (). Tmem27 exists as a dimer and the ellular domain is cleaved and shed from the plasma in a B pecific manner. Overexpression of full-length Tmem27, but not the truncated or e n, increases B cell proliferation, ting that the full length protein is required for this biological function. ch1 (hepatocyte nuclear factor-1d, HNF-1q) ls the ription of TMEM27. Mice with targeted deletion of ch1 exhibit sed B cell mass, and knockdown of Tmem27 using RNAi results in a reduction of cell proliferation. Transgenic mice with increased expression of Tmem27 in pancreatic B cells t increased B cell mass compared to their wild-type littermates. This 2012/050395 data indicates that TMEM27 plays a role in control of B cell mass and that inhibition of BACE- 2 which cleaves TMEM27 could be useful for treating loss of B cell mass and function, the underlying cause of diabetes.
Taken together, these s suggest that the inhibition of BACE-2 may be a favourable therapeutic gy for the treatment and prevention of metabolic disorders related to decreased [3 cell mass and/or function, such as type 2 diabetes.

As used , the term “isomers” refers to different compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in arrangement and uration of the atoms. Also as used herein, the term “an optical isomer” or “a stereoisomer” refers to any of the various stereo ic configurations which may exist for a given compound of the present invention and includes geometric isomers. It is understood that a substituent may be attached at a chiral center of a carbon atom. Therefore, the invention includes enantiomers, diastereomers or racemates of the compound. "Enantiomers" are a pair of stereoisomers that are non- superimposable mirror images of each other. A 1:1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a ic” mixture. The term is used to ate a racemic mixture where appropriate.
"Diastereoisomers” are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms, but which are not mirror-images of each other. The absolute stereochemistry is specified according to the Cahn- Ingold- Prelog R-S system. When a compound is a pure enantiomer the stereochemistry at each chiral carbon may be specified by either R or 8. Resolved compounds whose absolute uration is unknown can be designated (+) or (-) depending on the direction (dextro- or levorotatory) which they rotate plane polarized light at the ngth of the sodium D line. Certain of the compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric s or axes and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)-. The present invention is meant to include all such possible isomers, including racemic mixtures, lly pure forms and intermediate mixtures. Optically active (R)- and (S)- isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques.

Organic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, primary, ary, and ry amines, tuted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines and basic ion exchange resins. Certain organic amines include isopropylamine, benzathine, cholinate, diethanolamine, diethylamine, lysine, meglumine, piperazine and tromethamine.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from a parent compound, a basic or acidic moiety, by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts can be prepared by reacting free acid forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate base (such as Na, Ca, Mg, or K hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate or the like), or by reacting free base forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate acid. Such reactions are typically carried out in water or in an organic solvent, or in a mixture of the two. Generally, use of non-aqueous media like ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile is desirable, where practicable. Lists of additional suitable salts can be found, e.g., in “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences”, 20th ed., Mack Publishing y, Easton, Pa., (1985); and in “Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, ion, and Use” by Stahl and Wermuth (Vlfiley-VCH, Weinheim, Germany, 2002).
When both a basic group and an acid group are present in the same molecule, the compounds of the present invention may also form internal salts, e.g., zwitterionic les.
Furthermore, the compounds of the present invention, including their salts, can also be obtained in the form of their hydrates, or include other solvents used for their crystallization.
The compounds of the present invention may inherently or by design form solvates with 1O pharmaceutically acceptable solvents (including water); therefore, it is ed that the invention embrace both ed and unsolvated forms. The term te" refers to a molecular complex of a compound of the present invention (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) with one or more solvent molecules. Such solvent molecules are those commonly used in the pharmaceutical art, which are known to be innocuous to the recipient, e.g., water, ethanol, and the like. The term "hydrate" refers to the x where the solvent molecule is water.
The compounds of the present ion, including salts, es and solvates thereof, may inherently or by design form polymorphs. All such rphs are part of the present invention.

Examples of such isotopes are those of carbon, such as "C, 13C or 14C, chlorine, such as ”Cl, fluorine, such as 18F, bromine, such as 76Br, hydrogen, such as 2H or 3H, iodine, such as 123|,12‘*l, 125l or “1|, nitrogen, such as 13N or 15N, oxygen, such as 15O, 17O or 18O, phosphorus, such as 32P, or sulphur, such as 35S. An isotope-labeled compound of the formula I can be prepared by a process analogous to those described in the Examples or by a conventional que known to those skilled in the art using an appropriate isotopically—labeled reagent or starting material. The incorporation of a heavier isotope, such as 2H (deuterium or D), may provide greater metabolic stability to a compound of the formula I, which may result in, for example, an increased in vivo-half-life of the compound or in d dosage requirements. Certain isotope-labeled compounds of the a I, for example those incorporating a radioactive isotope, such as 3H or 14C, may be used in drug or substrate-tissue distribution studies. nds of the formula I with a positron emitting isotope, such as 11C, 18F, 13N or 150, may be useful in positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) studies, e. g. to examine substrate-receptor occupancies.
Pharmaceutically acceptable es in accordance with the ioninclude those wherein the solvent of crystallization may be isotopically substituted, e.g. D20, de-acetone, de-DMSO.
Compounds of the invention, i.e. compounds of formula I, la, lb, lc, Id or le that contain groups capable of acting as donors and/or acceptors for hydrogen bonds may be capable of forming co-crystals with suitable co—crystal s.
