Description

TRICYCLIC TRIAZOLIC COMPOUNDS AS SIGMA RECEPTORS LIGANDS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to new tricyclic triazolic compounds having a great affinity for sigma receptors, especially sigma-1 receptors, as well as to the process for the preparation thereof, to compositions comprising them, and to their use as medicaments.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The search for new therapeutic agents has been greatly aided in recent years by better understanding of the structure of proteins and other biomolecules ated with target diseases. One important class of these proteins are the sigma (σ) receptors, cell surface receptors of the central s system (CNS) which may be related to the dysphoric, hallucinogenic and cardiac stimulant effects of opioids.
From studies of the biology and function of sigma receptors, evidence has been presented that sigma receptor ligands may be useful in the treatment of sis and movement disorders such as dystonia and tardive dyskinesia, and motor disturbances associated with Huntington's chorea or Tourette's syndrome and in Parkinson's disease ( Walker, J.M. et al, cological Reviews, 1990, 42, 355 ).
It has been reported that the known sigma receptor ligand ole clinically shows effects in the ent of psychosis (Snyder, S.H., Largent, B.L. J. Neuropsychiatry 1989, 1, 7). The sigma binding sites have preferential ty for the dextrorotatory isomers of certain opiate benzomorphans, such as (+)SKF 10047, (+)cyclazocine, and (+)pentazocine and also for some narcoleptics such as ridol.
“The sigma receptor/s” as used in this application is/are well known and defined using the following citation: This binding site represents a typical protein different from opioid, NMDA, dopaminergic, and other known neurotransmitter or hormone or families (G. Ronsisvalle et al. Pure Appl. Chem. 73, 509 (2001)).
The sigma receptor has at least two subtypes, which may be discriminated by stereoselective isomers of these pharmacoactive drugs. SKF 10047 has nanomolar [Annotation] KEB affinity for the sigma 1 (0-1) site, and has olar affinity for the sigma 2 (0-2) site. Haloperidol has similar affinities for both subtypes.
The Sigma-1 receptor is a non-opiaceous type receptor expressed in us adult mammal tissues (e.g. central nervous system, ovary, testicle, placenta, adrenal gland, spleen, liver, kidney, intestinal tract) as well as in embryo development from its earliest stages, and is apparently involved in a large number of physiological functions. Its high affinity for various ceuticals has been described, such as for SKF-10047, (+)-pentazocine, haloperidol and rimcazole, among others, known ligands with analgesic, anxiolytic, antidepressive, antiamnesic, antipsychotic and neuroprotective activity. Sigma-1 receptor is of great interest in pharmacology in view of its possible physiological role in processes related to analgesia, y, addiction, amnesia, sion, schizophrenia, stress, neuroprotection and psychosis [Kaiser et al (1991) Neurotransmissions 7 (1): 1-5], r, J.M. et al, Pharmacological Reviews, 1990, 42, 355] and [Bowen W.D. (2000) Pharmaceutica Acta Helvetiae 74: 211-218].
The Sigma-2 receptor is also expressed in numerous adult mammal tissues (e.g. s system, immune system, endocrine system, liver, kidney). Sigma-2 receptors can be ents in a new apoptosis route that may play an important role in regulating cell proliferation or in cell development. This route seems to consist of Sigma-2 receptors joined to intracellular membranes, located in lles g calcium, such as the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, which also have the ability to release calcium from these organelles. The calcium signals can be used in the ing route for normal cells and/or in induction of sis.
Agonists of Sigma-2 receptors induce changes in cell morphology, apoptosis in several types of cell lines and regulate the expression of p-glycoprotein mRNA, so that they are potentially useful as antineoplasic agents for treatment of cancer. In fact, Sigma-2 receptor agonists have been observed to induce apoptosis in mammary tumour cell lines resistant to common antineoplasic agents that damage DNA. In addition, agonists of Sigma-2 ors enhance the cytotoxic effects of these antineoplasic agents at concentrations in which the agonist is not cytotoxic.
[Annotation] KEB Thus, agonists of Sigma-2 receptors can be used as antineoplasic agents at doses ng apoptosis or at sub-toxic doses in combination with other antineoplasic agents to revert the resistance to the drug, y allowing using lower doses of the antineoplasic agent and considerably reducing its adverse effects.
Antagonists of Sigma-2 receptors can prevent the irreversible motor side effects caused by typical neuroleptic agents. In fact, it has been found that nists of Sigma-2 receptors can be useful as agents for improving the weakening effects of delayed esia ing in patients due to chronic treatment of psychosis with typical antipsychotic drugs, such as haloperidol. Sigma-2 receptors also seem to play a role in certain degenerative disorders in which blocking these receptors could be useful.
Endogenous sigma ligands are not known, although progesterone has been suggested to be one of them. Possible sigma-site-mediated drug effects include modulation of glutamate receptor function, neurotransmitter response, neuroprotection, behavior, and ion on, R. et al. Trends col. Sci., 1992, 13:85-86). Most studies have implied that sigma g sites (receptors) are plasmalemmal elements of the signal transduction cascade. Drugs reported to be selective sigma ligands have been evaluated as antipsychotics (Hanner, M. et al.
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 1996, 2—8077). The existence of sigma receptors in the CNS, immune and ine systems have suggested a likelihood that it may serve as link between the three systems.
In view of the potential therapeutic applications of agonists or nists of the sigma receptor, a great effort has been directed to find selective ligands. Thus, the prior art discloses different sigma receptor ligands.
For instance, the international patent application W02007/098961 describes 4,5,6,7 tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene derivatives having pharmacological activity towards the sigma receptor.
[Annotation] KEB Spiro[benzopyran] or spiro[benzofuran] derivatives were also disclosed in EP1847542 as well as pyrazole derivatives (EP1634873) with pharmacological activity on sigma receptors.
W02009/071657 ses compounds structurally related to the ones the current invention which er show activity towards sigma receptors. The compounds disclosed in this document do not show, however, ient solubility in physiological media so as to assure a proper bioavailability of the compound once administered to the patient.
Surprisingly, the authors of the present invention have observed that tricyclic lic compounds with general formula (I) not only show an affinity for Sigma receptor ranging from good to excellent, what makes them particularly suitable as pharmacologically active agents in medicaments for the prophylaxis and/or ent of ers or diseases related to Sigma ors, but also they surprisingly have advantage of their high solubility in a physiological media.
Solubility in aqueous media is of upper-most interest since it potentially affects the bioavailability of the drug. Solubility is, in some instances, directly affecting the dissolution rate of the drug, which may accelerate the uptake of the drug and may therefore act .

In another aspect, the invention refers to the processes for obtaining the compounds of general formula (I). Several procedures have been developed for obtaining all the compound derivatives of the invention, herein the procedures will be explained below in methods A, B and C.
METHOD A Method A represents the process for synthesizing compounds according to l formula (la) that is compounds of formula (I) where m and n represents at least 1.
In this sense, a process is bed for the preparation of a nd of general formula (la): /—N "”l/l/ R1' N \ R2 N\N (la) comprising the on between a compound of general formula (VI): [Annotation] KEB with an aldehyde of general a (VII): R1'—\\ (VII) where R2 is as defined for formula (I) or (Ia) and R1’ is as defined for formula (la).
The reductive amination reaction of compounds of formula (VI) and (VII) is preferably carried out in an aprotic solvent such as, for instance, dichloroethane and preferably in the ce of an organic base such as diisopropylethylamine and a reductive reagent such as sodium triacetoxyborohydride. The type of aldehyde to be used will depend on the meaning of the final substituent R1’. All aldehydes (VII) used are commercially available.
In turn compound of l formula (VI) can be prepared by yzing a compound of general formula (V) %3HU&% The hydrolyzation of compound (V) or its enatiomer or racemic is carried out in an acidic medium, preferably HCI and in an organic solvent such as, for instance, 1,4- dioxane.
Compound (V) is produced by heating a compound of l formula (IV): [Annotation] KEB or its enantiomer or racemic in xylene or toluene at a temperature range of 90- 130°C.
Finally compound (IV) can be synthesized by the reaction of a compound of formula (II): 0M0? %"0 [/N3 (II) with a nd of l formula (III): (Ill) where X is a suitable leaving group such as a halogen or a sulfonate and R2 is always as defined for compounds of a (I) or (la).
The latter reaction is preferably carried out in an aprotic t such as tetrahydrofurane (THF) preferably in the presence of an inorganic base such as NaH and tetrabutylammonium iodide as catalyst at a temperature range of 0 °C to 30 °C.
Compound of formula (II) can be prepared enantiomerically pure or as racemic following methods reported in the literature (J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 4197-4199; edron:Asymmetry 2001, 12, 2989-2997). Compounds of formula (III) can be prepared by conventional methods (Org. Lett. 2008, 10(8), 1617-1619).
The general synthetic route for preparing compound according to method A is represented in scheme 1: Scheme 1 [Annotation] KEB O o O HN Acid >‘NQ’ UN \ R2 0 IN \ R2 Alternatively, compound of general formula (IV) can also be ed by reacting a compound of general formula (lVa) or its enantiomer or racemic: o 0/ 3H.OJ,N3 (lVa) With a compound of general formula (X): [Annotation] KEB where Y is a suitable leaving group such as a halogen. This coupling reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 and Cul as catalysts and triethylamine or mixture of triethylamine and DMF as solvent at a temperature range of 60-1 10 °C. This on is represented in scheme 2: Scheme 2 Intermediates of formula (V) can also be prepared in an alternative way a shown below in scheme 3. In addition, scheme 3 also represents the possibility of ing compound of formula (V) where R2 is a ydropyrane as a particular embodiment (compound Va).
Scheme 3 [Annotation] KEB o o 0‘3’0 Wk_~kuo 0 (V) (XII) 1:80 (XV) ’%O>HO”E§/CO ‘— ,yOWO’mMOo o o o (val (XIII) As shown above a compound of formula (IVa) or its enantiomer or racemic as prepared in the way shown is scheme 2 is ted to iodination with a iodination reagent such as N-Iodomorpholine hydriodide preferbaly in the presence of Cul as catalyst and in a solvent such as THF, to give a nd of a (XI).
Compound (XI) is then heated in xylene or e at a temperature range of 90- 130°C to give compound (XII).
Compound of formula (XII) can be either reacted with a boronic pinacol ester of formula (XIV) to directly obtain a compound of general formula (V) or if a compound of general formula (Va) is desired a different route comprising the reaction of compound (XII) with a boronic pinacol ester of formula (XV) to obtain compound (XIII) is carried out. This reaction is carried out in the presence of 3)4 as catalyst and an inorganic base preferably K2003 or Na2003 in a mixture of organic solvents and water preferably a mixture of oxyethane/ethanol/water or tquene/ethanol/water at a temperature range of 80-110 °CN Alternatively, the [Annotation] KEB reaction can be carried out in a microwave reactor. All boronic esters used are commercially available. As the final step for ing compound of formula (Va), the alkenyl ediate (XIII) or its enantiomer is reduced with ammonium formate preferably in the presence of Pd/C as catalyst in an organic solvent preferably a mixture of THF/methanol.
METHOD B Method B ents an alternative way to method A for preparing compounds of general a (la).
In this sense, a process is described for the preparation of a compound of general formula (la): HQ”0 R1' ”I’ll/IN \ R2 N\N\ (la) comprising the reduction of a compound of general formula (IX): The reduction of compound of general a (IX) can be carried out with a reductive agent such as, for instance, BH3 in an aprotic solvent preferably THF and preferably at a temperature range of 0 °C to 78 °C.
In turn, compounds of l formula (IX) can be obtained by the reaction of a compound of general formula (VI) (as decribed in method A) with a compound of general formula (VIII): [Annotation] KEB R1' x (VIII) where X is a suitable g group such as a halogen. The latter reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of an organic base preferably diisopropylethylamine in an aprotic solvent preferably dichloromethane at a temperature range from 0 °C to 30 °C. All compounds (VIII) used are commercially ble.
