FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to bisarylimidazolyl derivatives and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said derivatives which inhibit fatty acid amide hydrolase and are useful for the treatment of conditions affected by inhibiting fatty acid amide hydrolase.
BACKGROUND
Neuropathic pain is caused by injury to nerves as the result of many factors including physical damage (e.g., trauma, surgery), drugs such as Zidovudine (AZT), Carmustine (BCNU) and disease (e.g., diabetes, herpes zoster). The prevalence in the United States of neuropathies associated with diabetes, herpes and amputation is estimated at 1.5 million. The worldwide prevalence of diabetic neuropathy alone is expected to reach 12 million by 2007. Nerve injury can result in both allodynia and hyperalgesia.
Current treatment of neuropathic pain involves the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and acetaminophen) and other analgesics as well as anticonvalsants (e.g., carbamazepine, gabapentin) and tricyclic antidepressants (e.g., amitryptiline). Effective treatment of pain with current therapies is limited by adverse effects and a lack of efficacy against all components of pain.
Current research is aimed at understanding the molecular and physiological components of pain processing to develop more effective analgesics (Levin, J. D., New Directions in Pain Research: Meeting Report Molecules to Maladies, Neuron 20: 649-654, 1998; Pastemak, G. W., The Central Questions in Pain Perception May Be Peripheral, PNAS 95:10354-10355, 1998).
The analgesic properties of cannabinoids have been known for many years and to many cultures. Cannabinoids are active in many pre-clinical models of pain, including neuropathic pain. Within the last few years, several endogenous cannabinoids, including the fatty acid amides arachidonylethanolamide (anandamide), and arachidonyl amino acids such as N-arachidonylglycine, homo-γ-linolenyl-ethanolamide and docosatetraenyl-ethanolamide, as well as 2-arachidonyl-glycerol, have been shown to induce analgesia in laboratory animals (De Vane, W.A. et. al., Isolation and Structure of a Brain Constituent That Binds to the Cannabinoid Receptors, Science 258: 1946-1949, 1992; Hanus, L. et. al., Two New Unsaturated Fatty Acid Ethanolamides in Brain that Bind to the Cannabinoid Receptor, J. Med. Chem. 36: 3032-3034, 1993; Machoulam, R. et. al., Identification of an Endogenous 2-Monoglyceride, Present in Canine Gut, That Binds To Cannabinoid Receptors, Biochem. Pharmacol. 50: 83-90, 1995; Vogel, Z. et. al., Cannabinomimetic Behavioral Effects of and Adenylate Cyclase Inhibition By Two New Endogenous Anandamides, Eur. J. Pharmacol. 287: 145-152, 1995; Hargreaves, K. M. et al., Cannabinoids Reduce Hyperalgesia and Inflammation Via Interaction With Peripheral CB1 Receptors, Pain 75: 111-119, 1998; Rice,A. S. C., et. al., The Anti-Hyperalgesic Actions of the Cannabinoid Anandamide and the Putative CB2 Receptor Agonist Palmitoylethanolamide in Visceral and Somatic Inflammatory Pain, Pain 76: 189-199, 1998; Huang, S. M., et al., Identification of a New Class of Molecules, the Arachidonyl Amino Acids, and Characterization of One Member That Inhibits Pain, J. Biological Chemistry, 276: 46, 42639-42644, 2001). The ability of cannabinoid receptor antagonists and cannabinoid receptor antisense to induce hyperalgesia in animals suggests that endogenous cannabinoids regulate the nociceptive threshold (Hargreaves, K. M. et al., Hypoactivity of the Spinal Cannabinoid System Results in NMDA-Dependent Hyperalgesia, J. Neurosci. 18: 451-457, 1998; Piomelli, D. et. al., Control of Pain Initiation By Endogenous Cannabinoids, Nature 394: 277-281, 1998; Fields, H. L. et. al., An Analgesia Circuit Activated By Cannabinoids, Nature 395: 381-383, 1998). Elevation of levels of neuroactive fatty acid amides such as anandamide may provide a unique mechanism to achieve analgesia. The mechanisms by which endogenous cannabinoids are synthesized are not well understood; therefore, target for drugs aimed at increasing the synthesis of these compounds are slow to be identified.
Anandamide and the other identified endogenous cannabinoids are inactivated through a cleavage mechanism by a membrane-bound enzyme, fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). FAAH, therefore, provides an important target for regulating the activity of endogenous cannabinoids. The inhibition of FAAH may elevate levels of anandamide or other endogenous cannabinoids to increase the nociceptive threshold. Furthermore, the inhibition of FAAH would also extend the therapeutic benefits of other cannabinoid agoinsts in the treatment of emesis, anxiety, feeding, behaviors, movement disorders, glaucoma, neuroprotection and cardiovascular disease.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The description of the invention herein should be construed in congruity with the laws and principles of chemical bonding. For example, when a moiety is optionally substituted and said substitution requires the removal of a hydrogen atom from the moiety to be substituted, the description of the moiety should be read to include the moiety with or without said hydrogen atom. As another example, if a variable is defined as a particular moiety or atom and is further defined to have value of 0 or some integer, the bond(s) attaching said moiety should be suitably removed in the event the variable equals 0. An embodiment or aspect which depends from another embodiment or aspect, will describe only the variables having values and provisos that differ from the embodiment or aspect from which it depends. It is to be understood that the present invention may include any and all possible stereoisomers, geometric isomers, diastereoisomers, enantiomers, anomers and optical isomers, unless a particular description specifies otherwise. As used herein, “halo” or “halogen” includes fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo. As used herein, “alkyl” or “alkylene” includes straight or branched chain configurations.
The compounds of this invention can exist in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Such salts include addition salts with inorganic acids such as, for example, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, and with organic acids such as, for example, acetic acid, citric acid, methanesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, tartaric acid and maleic acid. Further, in case the compounds of this invention contain an acidic group, the acidic group can exist in the form of alkali metal salts such as, for example, a potassium salt and a sodium salt; alkaline earth metal salts such as, for example, a magnesium salt and a calcium salt; and salts with organic bases such as a triethylammonium salt and an arginine salt. The compounds of the present invention may be hydrated or non-hydrated.
The compounds of this invention can be administered in such oral dosage forms as tablets, capsules (each of which includes sustained release or timed release formulations), pills, powders, granules, elixirs, tinctures, suspensions, syrups and emulsions. The compounds of this invention may also be administered intravenously, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, or intramuscularly, all using dosage forms well known to those skilled in the pharmaceutical arts. The compounds can be administered alone, but generally will be administered with a pharmaceutical carrier selected upon the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. Compounds of this invention can also be administered in intranasal form by topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or by transdermal routes, using transdermal skin patches. When compounds of this invention are administered transdermally the dosage will be continuous throughout the dosage regimen.
The dosage and dosage regimen and scheduling of a compounds of the present invention must in each case be carefully adjusted, utilizing sound professional judgment and considering the age, weight and condition of the recipient, the route of administration and the nature and extent of the disease condition.

Determination of FAAH Activity
Homogenates of crude membranes were prepared from H4 cells that express transfected human FAAH (H4-FAAH cells). Briefly, cells were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and Geneticin at a final concentration of 500 μg/ml (Gibco BRL, Rockville, Md.). Confluent cultures of H4-FAAH cells were rinsed twice with phosphate-buffered saline [138 mM NaCl, 4.1 mM KCl, 5.1 mM Na2PO4, 1.5 mM KH2PO4 (pH 7.5), 37° C.] and incubated for 5-10 min. at 4° C. in lysis buffer [1 mM sodium bicarbonate]. Cells were transferred from plates to polypropylene tubes (16×100 mm), homogenized and centrifuged at 32,000×g for 30 min. Pellets were resuspended by homogenization in lysis buffer and centrifuged at 32,000×g for 30 min. Pellets were resuspended in lysis buffer (15-20 μg protein/ml) then stored at −80° C. until needed. On the day of an experiment, membranes were diluted to 2.67 μg protein/ml in 125 mM Tris-Cl, pH 9.0
Activity of FAAH was measured using a modification of the method described by Omeir et al., 1995 (Life Sci 56:1999, 1995). Membrane homogenates (240 ng protein) were incubated at room temperature for one hour with 1.67 nM anandamide [ethanolamine 1-3H] (American Radiolabeled Chemical Inc., St Louis, Mo.) and 10 μM anandamide (Sigma/RBI, St. Louis, Mo.) in the absence and presence of inhibitors. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 1 volume of a solution of methanol and dichloroethane (1:1). The mixture was shaken and then centrifuged at 1000×g for 15 min. to separate the aqueous and organic phases. An aliquot of the aqueous phase, containing [3H]-ethanolamine was withdrawn and counted by scintillation spectroscopy. Data were expressed as the percentage of [3H]-ethanolamine formed versus vehicle, after subtraction of the background radioactivity determined in the presence of 10 μM arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (ATFMK), an inhibitor of FAAH. IC50 values were determined using a four-parameter logistic equation for dose-response curves. Compounds for which IC50 values are not provided herein showed no FAAH inhibition or marginal FAAH inhibition in preliminary tests.

In vivo results
In FIG. 1., example 1, was active in phase I (acute phase) and phase II (chronic phase) of the rat formalin test. In animals that received 25 mg/kg, i.v, of Example 1, the number of paw flinches was reduced by nearly 40% in the first 10 minutes after administration of formalin. Paw flinches were reduced by approximately 30% over the following 50 minutes. The effect of example 1 was similar to that seen with a 3 mg/kg, i.p. dose of morphine.
In FIG. 2., animals that received Example 1, the latency to paw withdrawal was increased significantly. The present results confirm, the activity of Example 1 against acute pain.
In FIG. 3., Example 1 was examined in the Chung model of neuropathic pain where animals exhibit a pain response (paw withdrawal) to a normally innocuous stimulus (light touch), In animals with a neuropathic injury, the threshold for withdrawal of the injured paw was increased (toward normal) in a dose-dependent fashion by Example 1. The anti-neuropathic effect observed with 20 mg/kg Example 1 exhibited earlier onset of action compared to 100 mg/kg gabapentin (reference compound) with similar peak efficacy.
