Disclosures of these publications in their entireties are hereby incorporated by reference into this application to more fully describe the state of the art to which this invention pertains. Full bibliographic citations for these references may be found immediately preceding the claims .

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

NPFF is an octapeptide isolated from bovine brain in 1985 by Yang and cowor ers (1) using antibodies to the molluscan neuropeptide FMRFamide (FMRFa) . FMRFamide-li ke immunoreactivity was observed in rat brain, spinal cord, and pituitary, suggesting the existence of mammalian homologs of the FMRFa family of invertebrate peptides. The isolation of NPFF, named for its N- and C-terminal phenylalanines (also called FδFamide) and a second mammalian peptide, NPAF (also called AlδFamide) , confirmed the existence of a mammalian family of peptides sharing C-terminal sequence homology with FMRFa (1) . Molecular cloning has revealed that NPFF and NPAF are encoded by the same gene and cleaved from a common precursor protein (2). Studies of the localization, radioligand binding, and function of NPFF-like peptides indicate they are neuromodulatory peptides whose effects are likely to be mediated by G protein-coupled receptors (4) .

There are two known receptor subtypes for NPFF, NPFF-1 and

NPFF-2 (3) . Recently, two NPFF receptor subtypes (NPFF-1 and

NPFF-2) were discovered and cloned from rat and human tissues

(4) . The localization of protein and mRNA for these two receptors indicates that they may have utility as targets for drugs to treat a variety of disorders including, but not limited to, disorders of electrolyte balance, diabetes, respiratory disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, depression, phobias, anxiety, mood disorders, cognition/memory disorders, obesity, pain, alertness/sedation, lower urinary tract disorders and cardiovascular indications.

NPFF is an endogenous modulator of opioid systems with effects on morphine analgesia, tolerance, and withdrawal (5, 6) . NPFF appears to represent an endogenous "anti-opioid" system in the CNS, acting at specific high-affinity receptors that are distinct from opioid receptors (7, 8). Endogenous NPFF has been suggested to play a role in morphine tolerance: agonists of NPFF precipitate "morphine abstinence syndrome" (symptoms of morphine withdrawal) in morphine-dependent animals (9, 10) , while antagonists and anti-NPFF IgG restore morphine sensitivity and ameliorate symptoms of withdrawal. NPFF has also been shown to participate in the regulation of pain threshold, showing both "anti-opiate" effects and analgesic effects, depending on the test system (5) . The ability of NPFF peptides to modulate the opioid system raised the possibility that NPFF interacts directly with opiate receptors. However, radioligand binding assays using a tyrosine-substituted NPFF analog [¹²⁵I]Y8Fa demonstrate that NPFF acts through specific high affinity binding sites distinct from opiate receptors (11-14) that are sensitive to inhibition by guanine nucleotides (15) .

NPFF and related peptidic agonists exhibit direct analgesic activity in some animal models. NPFF has been shown to produce

-analgesia in the rat tail -flick and paw pressure models, upon intrathecal administration (16) . Similarly, a NPFF-like peptide, S AAPQRF-amide, isolated from rat brain and spinal cord (17), produces antinociceptive action in the tail-flick and paw pressure models (18) . NPFF has also been observed to play a role in animal models of chronic pain. For example, NPFF has recently been shown to be involved in inflammatory pain (19) and neuropathic pain (20) . Importantly, NPFF was shown to attenuate the allodynia associated with neuropathic pain, suggesting that it may be clinically useful in treating this condition. NPFF also has been shown to produce nighttime hyperasthesic analgesia in the tail-flick test upon i.e.v. administration in the rat (21) . A peptidic NPFF analog, (D) Tyr¹, (NMe) Phe³- NPFF (lDMe, lDMeY8Fa) , which is partially protected against enzymatic degradation and also has high affinity for its receptors, shows long-lasting analgesic activity in the above models upon intrathecal administration (22, 23). In carrageenan inflammation, 5-10nmol of lDMe was effective against both thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia, and in a neuropathic pain model, lDMe showed antiallodynic effects against cold allodynia (24) . lDMe also shows analgesic activity in the rat vocalization threshold upon intrathecal administration (25) .

Recent studies in our laboratories have shown that NPFF also has peripheral effects. NPFF and related agonists show decrease in the contraction frequency of the rat bladder upon i.v. and i.t. administration (See PCT International Publication No. WO 00/18438) . A potent NPFF agonist, PFRF- a ide, has been shown to increase blood pressure and heart rate in rats (26) . In addition, NPFF and related peptides have a number of other biological activities that may be therapeutically relevant including effects on feeding (27-29) , psychotic behavior (30) , nicotine addiction (31) , and other cardiovascular functions (32, 33).

Effects on feeding behavior are further supported by findings that demonstrate NPFF-like immunoreactive neurons, as well as NPFF1 receptor mRNA, localize to the hypothalamus (3,5) . The NPFFl-selective ligand, BIBP 3226, which is also a neuropeptide Y Yl antagonist, blocks feeding through a nonspecific mechanism, not secondary to inhibition of Yl (39) . These data suggest that feeding behavior may be regulated through a NPFF1 receptor mechanism.

It is thus evident that NPFF agonists and/or antagonists have great potential as being therapeutically useful agents for the treatment of a diverse array of clinically relevant human disorders. NPFF agonists may have therapeutic potential, among others, for the treatment of pain, memory loss, circadian rhythm disorders, and micturition disorders. Cloned receptor subtypes of NPFF and the development of high- efficiency in vitro assays, both for binding and receptor activation, has aided the discovery and development of novel NPFF ligands. Moreover, it is practically possible to design a molecule that is an agonist at one NPFF subtype, and an antagonist at the other (s). This concept of a dual-acting molecule provides an attractive means of designing drugs that can treat multiple disorders.

There are no known nonpeptide agonists or antagonists of NPFF in the prior art. Described herein are quinazolino- and quinolino-guanidine containing compounds that may be used to treat an abnormality in a subject wherein the abnormality is alleviated by increasing or decreasing the activity of a mammalian NPFF receptor which comprises administering to the subject an amount of a compound which is an antagonist or agonist of mammalian NPFF receptors to effect a treatment of the abnormality. The compounds of invention herein are the first known small molecule (non-peptide/non-peptoid) ligands

(either antagonists or agonists) at the neuropeptide FF (NPFF) receptor (s) . SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

II. Testing of Chemical Compounds.

Test 1

The binding properties of the compounds of the present invention were evaluated at cloned NPFF receptors using protocols described in PCT International Publication No. WO 00/18438, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this application.

Table 2. Binding affinities at Recombinant Human and Rat NPFF Receptors

NT= Not Tested

Test 2

Activity of the compounds of the present invention was measured at cloned NPFF receptors according to functional assays as previously described by Bonini , J. A., et al . (3). Agonist potency (EC₅₀) is the concentration of a compound required to elicit 50% of maximum response. Intrinsic activity of a compound is measured as the percent of maximum response. Intrinsic activity of a compound is measured as the percent of maximum response elicited by the ligand, neuropeptide FF.

Test 3

Methods for two NPFF2 selective compounds that were tested in vivo experiment

The effects of compounds on the micturition reflex were assessed in the "distension-induced rhythmic contraction" (DIRC) model (also called "volume-induced rhythmic contraction" model) in rats, as described in previous publications (36, 38, 40) . This model is widely considered to be predictive for the actions of drugs to treat human urge incontinence (also referred to as detrusor instability or unstable bladder) . Examples of drugs that are active in this model which also are used therapeutically in humans include oxybutynin and baclofen (40) ; imipramine and nortriptyline (37) ; and nifedipine and terodiline (38) .

-DI.RC Model

Female Sprague Dawley rats weighing approximately 300g were anesthetized with subcutaneous urethane (1.2g/kg) . The trachea was cannulated with PE240 tubing to provide a clear airway throughout the experiment. A midline abdominal incision was made and the left and right ureters were isolated. The ureters were ligated distally (to prevent escape of fluids from the bladder) and cannulated proximally with PE10 tubing. The incision was closed using 4-0 silk sutures, leaving the PE10 lines routed to the exterior for the elimination of urine. The bladder was canulated via the transurethral route using PE50 tubing inserted 2.5cm beyond the urethral opening. This cannula was secured to the tail using tape and connected to a pressure transducer. To prevent leakage from the bladder, the cannula was tied tightly to the exterior urethral opening using 4-0 silk.

To initiate the micturition reflex, the bladder was first emptied by applying pressure to the lower abdomen, and then filled with normal saline in 100 μL increments (maximum = 2ml) until spontaneous bladder contractions occurred (typically 20- 40 mmHg) at a rate of one contraction every 2 to 3 minutes. Once a regular rhythm was established, vehicle (saline) or test compounds were administered i.v. to examine their effects on bladder activity. The effect of a compound which inhibited the micturition reflex was expressed as its "disappearance time" , defined as the time between successive bladder contractions in the presence of the test compound minus the time between contractions before compound administration.

Results of Test 3

Compound X (4005) at a dose of lmg/kg, i.v. produced complete inhibition of distention induced contractions of the rat bladder, resulting in a disappearance time of 35 minutes. Compound Y (4006) at a dose of 3mg/kg, i.v. produced complete inhibition of distention induced contractions of the rat bladder, resulting in a disappearance time of 12 minutes.

Discussion of Test 3

These results represent the first demonstration that synthetic ligands which are active as agonists at the NPFF2 receptor inhibit the micturition reflex. In this regard their actions mimic the action of the endogenous peptide ligand NPFF. The ability of these compounds to inhibit the micturition reflex in this model can be taken as an indication that they will be effective in the treatment of urge incontinence in humans (see above) .

DISCUSSION

The compounds discussed above can be classified as agonists and antagonists based on the following parameters: an agonist has an intrinsic activity (IA) >15%, while an antagonist has a Ki < 1.2 μM and an intrinsic activity (IA) < 15% at the rat cloned neuropeptide FF (NPFF) receptors.

Based on this definition the compounds can be classified as follows:

Compounds 1001 to 1039 are quinazolino-guanidines that are antagonists at NPFF1 and agonists at NPFF2 ;

Compounds 2001 to 2006 are quinazolino-guanidines that are concurrently agonists at NPFF1 and NPFF2 ;

Compound 3001 is quinazolino-guanidines that is concurrently antagonists at NPFF1 and NPFF2 ;

Compounds 4001 to 4009 are quinolino-guanidines that are antagonists at NPFF1 and agonists at NPFF2 ; Compounds 5001 to 5003 are quinolino-guanidines that are concurrently agonists at NPFF1 and NPFF2 ; and

Compounds 6001 to 6003 are quinolino-guanidines that are concurrently antagonists at NPFF1 and NPFF2.

Compounds that are agonists at NPFF2 are suitable for treating incontinence, and also pain.

Compounds that are concurrently agonists at both NPFF1 and NPFF2 are particularly suitable for treating incontinence, and also pain.

Compounds that are concurrently antagonists at both NPFF1 and NPFF2 have a pro-opioid (analgesic) effect.

Compounds that are agonists at NPFF1 are suitable for treating obesity or eating disorders.

When comparing the binding affinities of compounds between the human and rat recombinant NPFF receptors, one obtains a positive correlation with slope values close to unity, the line of identity. These data suggest that the binding affinity for a compound at the rat receptor will be predictive of its binding affinity at the human recombinant receptor.
