Description
SUBSTITUTED DIHYDROBENZOFURAN DERIVATIVES AS 5-HT4 AGONISTS
The present invention relates to the use of substituted dihydrobenzofuran derivatives which act as 5-HT4 receptor agonists in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders and CNS disorders, to certain novel compounds having 5-HT4 receptor agonist activity, to a process for their preparation and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
A non classical 5-hydroxytriptamine receptor has been designed (Trends Pharmacol. Sci. (1992) 13, 141-5) as the 5-HT4 receptor.
The prokinetic action of the substituted benzamide metoclopramide, which has long been in clinical use as a stimulant of gastrointestinal motility, is believed to be on the basis of its agonist effect on the 5-HT4 receptor
(Drug Design & Delivery (1988) 3, 273-295).
Some 5-HT4 receptor agonists resulted active in appropriate animal behavioural tests for memory dysfunctions (Ghelardini et al. 19th C.I.N.P. Congress, Whashington, June 1994 ; Ghelardini et al. 10th European Society for Neurochemistry, Jerusalem, August 1994).
International patent application WO 93/16072 describes 5-
HT4 receptor antagonists derived from the benzopyran, benzothiopyran or benzofuran nucleus .
International patent application WO 94/08995 relates to novel carboxylate or carboxamides of benzofuran or dibenzofuran having 5-HT4 antagonist activity.
We have identified a class of substituted dihydrobenzofuran carboxylic acid derivatives which possess 5-HT4 receptor agonist properties, despite their structural analogies with the closest prior art compounds such as, e.g., those disclosed in WO 93/16072 and WO 94/08995 having 5-HT4 antagonist activity.
By virtue of their 5-HT4 agonist activity, the compounds of the invention can be useful in all the pathologies wherein a stimulation of the 5-HT4 receptors is needed and therefore, the compounds of the invention can be useful, for example, as therapeutic prokinetic agents in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders such as, e.g., dyspepsia, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and gastroparesis, and/or also in the treatment of CNS disorders characterized by learning and/or memory dysfunctions.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to dihyrobenzofuran derivatives of formula (I)
R1, R2 and R3 are, each independently, hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, halogen, hydroxy, C1-C4 alkoxy, amino, C1-C4 alkylamino or C1-C4 di-alkylamino;
X is O, NH or CH2;
Z is a group (a), (b), (c) or (d)
wherein

R5 is C1-C6 alkyl; and
T is halogen;
provided that, when Z is defined under (c), then X is O or CH2, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, for use as 5-HT4 agonists. The compounds of formula (I) can therefore be useful in the treatment of all the pathologies wherein a stimulation of the 5-HT4 receptor is needed. As an example, the compounds of formula (I) may be useful as therapeutic prokinetic agents in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders such as, for example, dyspepsia, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) or gastroparesis.
The compounds of formula (I) may also be useful, by virtue of their 5-HT4 agonist properties, as cognition activators, in the treatment of CNS disorders characterized by learning and/or memory dysfunctions.
The alkyl, alkoxy and alkylamino groups may be branched or straight groups.
Representative examples of C1-C6 alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, n- and iso-propyl, n-, iso-, sec- and tert- butyl.

Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of formula (I) wherein Z is a group (a) or (b) include quaternary derivatives such as, e.g., the compounds quaternised by compounds of formula Rx-W wherein Rx is C1- C6 alkyl or phenyl-Ci-Cgalkyl and W is a radical corresponding to an anion of an acid.
Preferably, Rx is C1-C4 alkyl or phenyl-C1-C4alkyl, in particular it is methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n -butyl, benzyl or phenylethyl.
Preferably, W is a halide such as, e.g., chloride, bromide or iodide.
Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of formula (I) wherein Z is a group (a), (b) or (c) also include internal salts, such as, e.g. N-oxides. The compounds of formula (I), their pharmaceutically
acceptable salts, (including quaternary derivatives and N- oxides) may also form pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, such as hydrates, which are also object of the present invention.
Compounds of formula (I) wherein Z is a group (c) contain an asymmetric carbon atom and, for this reason, they can exist either as a mixture of optical isomers (racemic mixture) or as a single optical isomers (enantiomers) . The enantiomers can be separately synthesised from optically pure starting material or separated from the racemic mixture in a conventional manner.
The present invention also include within its scope both the metabolites and the pharmaceutically acceptable bio- precursors (otherwise known as pro-drugs) of the compounds of formula (I).

As already said, the compounds of the present invention are potent agonists of 5-HT (serotonin) on 5-HT4 receptors and can therefore be used in the treatment of the pathologies wherein a stimulation of the 5-HT4 receptor is needed. In particular, as 5-HT4 agonists are known being stimulant of gastrointestinal motility, the compounds of the present invention can be useful as therapeutic prokinetic agents, for example, in the treatment of gastrointestinal disease such as, for instance, dyspepsia, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) or gastroparesis. In addition, in view of the fact that 5-HT4 receptors are believed to be involved in synaptic plasticity events and in memory processes (CNS Drugs (1994) 1, 6-15), and that it has been demonstrated that 5-HT4 receptor stimulation facilitates in vivo acetylcholine release in rat frontal cortex (NeuroReport
(1994) 5, 1230-2), another application of the compounds of the invention may also be as cognition activators in the treatment of CNS disorders characterized by learning and/or memory dysfunctions.
5-HT4 receptor affinity of the compounds of the present invention was determined by the inhibition of the binding of the 5-HT4 receptor radioligand [3H] -GR-113808 in rat striatum, according to the method of Grossman et al. (Br. J. Pharmacol., 1993, 109,618-624).
The activity of the compounds of the present invention as 5-HT4 agonists was evaluated "in vitro" by the receptor- mediated relaxation responses of rat, carbachol precontracted oesophageal muscolaris mucosae, following the method of Baxter et al., (Naunhyn Schmiedeberg' s Arch. Pharmacol., 1991, 343, 439-446).
As an example, a representative group of compounds according to this invention, namely

hemihydrate (internal code FCE 29031A);

(S)-(+)-(1-azabicyclo[2,2,2]oct-3-yl)-4-amino-5-chloro- 2 , 3 -dihydrobenzo [b] furan-7-carboxylate hydrochloride (internal code FCE 28797A);
were tested according to the methods described above and the obtained results are reported on Table 1.
where
IC50 = concentration of the tested compound which forces the displacements of 50% of the bound radioligand concentration, obtained in the absence of inhibitor.
[L] = radioligand concentration
Kd = dissociation constant of the radioligand-receptor complex.
EC50 = efficacy concentration: concentration of the tested compound which induces 50% of the max. response (in this case 50% of the max. relaxation).
i.a. = intrinsic activity: max. response/max response of the natural agonist (in this case max. relaxation/5-HT max. relaxation).
The tabulated results clearly show that the compounds of the invention exhibit high affinity for the 5-HT4 receptor sites and, in the same time, are particularly effective in
promoting 5-HT4 receptor activity.
