Definitions

  • the present invention relates to ketamine derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and their use as anaesthetics, analgesics, or sedatives.
  • (2-o-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylamino-cyclohexanone is an effective non-opioid anaestheticanalgesic drug [Laskowski et al., Can J Anesth 2011, 58, 911: Carstensen & Willer, Br J Anaesth. 2010, 104, 401], with the major advantages over opioids in that it shows no respiratory depression or hyperalgesic effects, and is also free of longer-term effects such as increased tolerance and immune suppression.
  • Ketamine is normally used as the racemate, but more recently the more active (S)-enantiomer has begun to be employed.
  • (S)-Ketamine has similar pharmacological, analgesic and anaesthetic properties to the racemate, but is about twice as potent [Adams & Werner, Anaesthetist 1997, 46, 1026].
  • ketamine has hallucinogenic properties which, together with its relatively long half-life (2-3 h) means that it is normally administered together with sedative or hypnotic drugs like midazolam and/or propofol to control the prolonged period of post-anesthesia hallucinations [Domino, Anesthesiology 2010, 113, 678, Chiaretti et al., Pediatric Blood & Cancer 2011, 57, 1163]. While (S)-ketamine has somewhat faster elimination [Adams & Werner, Anaesthetist 1997, 46, 1026], there is still a need for analogues with much shorter half-lives to avoid the concomitant use of sedativeshypnotics.

  • the precipitate formed was filtered and dried to obtain 23 (8.15 g, 81%) as a pale yellow solid. This was suspended in 8 mL of 2-propanol and cooled to 0° C. in an ice bath. HCl gas was bubbled through the solution for 2 min.
  • the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain the desired product as yellow oil (173 mg, 59%).
  • the yellow oil was dissolved in diethyl ether (5 mL) and was cooled to 0° C. in an ice bath. Dry HCl gas was bubbled through the solution at 0° C. for 2 min. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain a yellow solid.
  • the yellow solid was dissolved in EtOAc (1 mL) and sonicated at 25° C. for 2 min.
  • the white precipitate formed was diluted with EtOAc (5 mL) and filtered, washed with EtOAc and dried under vacuum to give rac-C3OAc.HCl (107 mg, 33%), mp 180-183° C.
  • the (S)-norketamine tartrate salt was dissolved in water (200 mL) and neutralized with 2 N NaOH. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (3 ⁇ 100 mL). The combined DCM layer was washed with brine (100 mL) and dried over Na 2 SO 4 . Evaporation of solvent under reduced pressure afforded (S)-norketamine free base [(S)-24] (4.96 g) as a pale yellow viscous oil.
  • the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain the desired product as yellow oil. This was dissolved in diethyl ether (5 mL) and was cooled to 0° C. in an ice bath. Dry HCl gas was bubbled through the solution at 0° C. for 2 min. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain a yellow solid. The yellow solid was dissolved in EtOAc (2 mL) and sonicated at 25° C. for 2 min. The white precipitate formed was diluted with EtOAc (10 mL) and filtered, washed with EtOAc and dried under vacuum to obtain the product as hydrochloride salt.
  • (R)-24 was prepared by a procedure analogous to that described above for the preparation of (S)-24 using D-(S,S)-( ⁇ )-tartaric acid, rather than L-(R,R)-(+)-tartaric acid.
  • Norketamine ester (0.9 mmol) was dissolved in MeOH (20 mL) and cooled to 0° C. in an ice bath. Acetic acid (0.2 mL, 3.6 mmol) and NaCNBH 3 (112 mg, 1.8 mmol) was added to the above solution and stirred at 0° C. for 5 min. Formaldehyde (37% in H 2 O, 2.2 mmol) was added at 0° C. and reaction mixture allowed to stir at 25° C. for 24 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with NaHCO 3 and diluted with water. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH 2 Cl 2 (3 ⁇ 20 mL), washed with brine and dried over Na 2 SO 4 .
  • Three rats were used in each study, with each group of rats also acting as their own ketamine control.
  • the order of study drug administration was determined by prior oddsevens randomisation with a recovery interval of at least one hour afforded between experiments.
  • PWR and RR were recorded at 1 minute intervals throughout. The times from cessation of infusion to return of righting reflex (RRR), and from cessation of infusion to the animals displaying independent locomotion (walk) were recorded.
  • Nociceptive testing in animals was conducted via 1 second application of constant pressure (firm digital pressure) over the forepaw of the animal.
  • Pedal withdrawal reflex testing is primarily used to assess analgesic effect, and responses are graded accordingly: 0, absent; 1, flicker; 2, moderate withdrawal; 3, fast withdrawal; 4, Fast withdrawal with crypreceding apnoea (modified from Buitrago, S. et al. J. Amer. Assoc. Lab. Animal. Sci. 2008, 47, 11-17).
  • Righting reflex is considered absent when the animal fails to right from a position of dorsal recumbency to a position of sternal recumbency on three attempts performed in rapid succession.
  • b PWR Pedal withdrawal reflex
  • a PWR 1 (a flicker of response) indicates a satisfactory level of analgesia (nociception).
  • c RRR Recovery of righting reflex; ability to right from dorsal recumbency).
  • d Walk (ability to sustain independent locomotion).
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 Representative plots of the performance of two representative compounds of the invention compared to ketamine in are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 . Loss of righting (anaesthesia) for rac-C2nPr and rac-C4Me are shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B , respectively, and pedal withdrawal scores are shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B .
  • FIG. 3 shows a scatter-plot of effective potency (dose [mg/kg] to loss of righting reflex) versus duration (time to return of righting reflex) for ketamine and representative compounds of the invention.
  • Acetate (S)—C3OAc was the most potent of the compounds (about as potent as ketamine), but showed only moderately faster recoveries (1.5-2 fold) than ketamine itself. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the applicant believes that this is most likely not due to slow acetate hydrolysis, but to the fact that the corresponding alcohol product is itself a potent hypnoticanalgesic.
  • rac-C2Et, rac-C2iPr, rac-C3Et, rac-C3iPr, rac-C4Me, rac-C4Et and rac-C4iPr comprised a mixture of chain lengths (thus a range of pKas) and a variety of Me, Et and iPr esters.
  • rac-C2nPr, rac-C3nPr and rac-C4nPr were also a mixture of chain lengths, but were all n-Pr esters, and at the higher end of the lipophilicity range. Since dose-potency and rapidity of recovery from both LRR and PWR are broadly reciprocal, it is not surprising that these less potent compounds resulted in the fastest recoveries (20-25 fold faster than ketamine).
