Definitions
- the invention is directed to spiropiperidine compounds which are useful as inhibitors of the beta secretase enzyme, and are useful in the treatment of diseases in which the beta secretase enzyme is involved, such as Alzheimer's Disease.
- Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the deposition of amyloid in the brain in the form of extra-cellular plaques and intra-cellular neurofibrillary tangles.
- the rate of amyloid accumulation is a combination of the rates of formation, aggregation and egress from the brain. It is generally accepted that the main constituent of amyloid plaques is the 4kD amyloid protein ( ⁇ A4, also referred to as A ⁇ , ⁇ - protein and ⁇ AP) which is a proteolytic product of a precursor protein of much larger size.
- the amyloid precursor protein (APP or A ⁇ PP) has a receptor-like structure with a large ectodomain, a membrane spanning region and a short cytoplasmic tail.
- the A ⁇ domain encompasses parts of both extra-cellular and transmembrane domains of APP, thus its release implies the existence of two distinct proteolytic events to generate its NH 2 - and COOH-termini. At least two secretory mechanisms exist which release APP from the membrane and generate soluble, COOH-truncated forms of APP (APP S ). Proteases that release APP and its fragments from the membrane are termed "secretases.” Most APP 5 is released by a putative ⁇ -secretase which cleaves within the A ⁇ protein to release ⁇ -APP s and precludes the release of intact A ⁇ .

Description
TITLE OF THE INVENTION
SPIROPIP ERIDINE BETA-SECRETASE INHIBITORS FOR THE TREATMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S
DISEASE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention is directed to spiropiperidine compounds which are useful as inhibitors of the beta secretase enzyme, and are useful in the treatment of diseases in which the beta secretase enzyme is involved, such as Alzheimer's Disease.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the deposition of amyloid in the brain in the form of extra-cellular plaques and intra-cellular neurofibrillary tangles. The rate of amyloid accumulation is a combination of the rates of formation, aggregation and egress from the brain. It is generally accepted that the main constituent of amyloid plaques is the 4kD amyloid protein (βA4, also referred to as Aβ, β- protein and βAP) which is a proteolytic product of a precursor protein of much larger size. The amyloid precursor protein (APP or AβPP) has a receptor-like structure with a large ectodomain, a membrane spanning region and a short cytoplasmic tail. The Aβ domain encompasses parts of both extra-cellular and transmembrane domains of APP, thus its release implies the existence of two distinct proteolytic events to generate its NH2- and COOH-termini. At least two secretory mechanisms exist which release APP from the membrane and generate soluble, COOH-truncated forms of APP (APPS). Proteases that release APP and its fragments from the membrane are termed "secretases." Most APP5 is released by a putative α-secretase which cleaves within the Aβ protein to release α-APPs and precludes the release of intact Aβ. A minor portion of APPS is released by a β-secretase ("β-secretase"), which cleaves near the NH2-terminus of APP and produces COOH-terminal fragments (CTFs) which contain the whole Aβ domain.
Thus, the activity of β-secretase or β-site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme ("BACE") leads to the cleavage of APP, production of Aβ, and accumulation of β amyloid plaques in the brain, which is characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (see R. N. Rosenberg, Arch. Neurol., 2002, 59:1367-1368; H. Fukumoto et al, Arch. Neurol, 2002, 59:1381-1389; J.T. Huse et al, J. Biol. Chem., 2002, 277(18), 16278-16284; K.C. Chen and WJ. Howe, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Cotnm, 2002, 292:702-708).
Therefore, therapeutic agents that can inhibit β-secretase or BACE may be useful for the treatment of " Alzheimer's disease.
The compounds of the present invention are useful for treating Alzheimer's disease by inhibiting the activity of β-secretase or BACE, thus preventing the formation of insoluble Aβ and arresting the production of Aβ .

BACEl is a 501 amino acid membrane- bound aspartic protease. BACEl has all the known functional properties and characteristics of β- secretase. BACE2, also called Asp-1 or memapsin-1, is a second member of the BACE family of membrane-bound aspartic proteases. See Roggo, Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2002, 2:359- 370, for a further discussion of the differences between BACEl and BACE2. The compounds of the invention are inhibitors of both the BACEl and BACE2 enzyme.
Compounds with asymmetric centers give rise to enantiomers (optical isomers), diastereomers (confϊgurational isomers) or both, and it is intended that all of the possible enantiomers and diastereomers in mixtures and as pure or partially purified compounds are included within the scope of this invention. The present invention is meant to encompass all such isomeric forms of these compounds.
Compounds described herein may contain one or more double bonds, and may thus give rise to cisltrans isomers as well as other confϊgurational isomers. The present invention includes all such possible isomers as well as mixtures of such isomers. '•
Formulas (I) and (F) are shown above without a definite stereochemistry at certain positions. The present invention includes all stereoisomers of formulas (I) and (F), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
For the compounds of formula (I) and (F), the 5-carbon and 7-carbon of the spiropiperidine ring are chiral. As a result, the compounds of formula (I) may be present as two racemic diastereomers, or in four stereochemically pure forms. The diastereomeric forms for compounds of formula (I) are depicted below, as diastereomers (IA) (diastereomer A), where the amine of the spiro center and the spiropiperidine methyl group are cis to one another, and (IB) (diastereomer B), where the amine of the spiro center and the spiropiperidine methyl group are trans to one another.
The diastereomer (IA) is the 5(S,R),7(S,R) configuration, and the diastereomer (IB) is the 5(R,S),7(S,R) configuration. An alternative convention is to refer to diastereomer IA as having the (5S,7S) (5R,7R) configuration, and to refer to diastereomer IB as having the (5R,7S)(5S,7R) configuration.
Each of (IA) and (IB) may be present in tautomeric form, as shown below as (IA') and (IB'):
or
In a preferred embodiment, the compounds of the invention are compounds of formula (IB) and its tautomer (IB').
Each of (IA) and (IB) may be present as a racemic mixture, or in one of two enantiomeric forms, as shown below with compound (IA), as compounds (IA) and (IA*):
or
The enantiomer IA is the 5(S),7(S) configuration and the enantiomer IA* is the 5(R),7(R) configuration. Similarly, compounds of formula IB may exist as the separate enantiomeric compounds
IB and IB*
The enantiomer IB is the 5(R)J(S) configuration and the enantiomer IB* is the 5(S)J(R) configuration.
The independent syntheses of the enantiomerically or diastereomerically enriched compounds, or their chromatographic separations, may be achieved as known in the art by appropriate modification of the methodology disclosed herein. Their absolute stereochemistry may be determined by the x-ray crystallography of crystalline products or crystalline intermediates that are derivatized, if necessary, with a reagent containing an asymmetric center of known absolute configuration.
If desired, racemic mixtures of the compounds may be separated so that the individual enantiomers or diastereomers are isolated. The separation can be carried out by methods! well known in the art, such as the coupling of a racemic mixture of compounds to an enantiomerically pure compound to form a diastereomeric mixture, followed by separation of the individual diastereomers by standard methods, such as fractional crystallization or chromatography. The coupling reaction is often the formation of salts using an enantiomerically pure acid or base. The diastereomeric derivatives may then be converted to the pure enantiomers by cleavage of the added chiral residue. The racemic mixture of the compounds can also be separated directly by chromatographic methods using chiral stationary phases, which methods are well known in the art.
Alternatively, any enantiomer or diastereomer of a compound may be obtained by stereoselective synthesis using optically pure starting materials or reagents of known configuration by methods well known in the art.
As used herein, the term "tautomer" refers to a compound which exists in an equilibrium mixture and which can be isolated in either form and react through either form. The tatutomers may differ in linkage, bond, or connections between atoms, and the position or distribution of the atoms in the molecule. One common form of tautomerism occurs when an enamine group, for example a group R2C=CR-NHR, exists in equilibrium with its tautomeric imine form, for example R2CH-CR=NR. In the context of this invention, compounds of the invention may be present in the enamine form (formula I)5 or or in the tautomeric imine form (Y).
The compounds claimed in this invention can be prepared according to the following general procedure methods.
General Scheme 1 depicts a method for preparing l-benzyl-2-methylpiρeridin-4-one intermediates useful for making compounds of the invention. The commercially available 1-1 may be alkylated with an appropriate alkyl halide like benzyl chloride using a suitable base like potassium carbonate in a suitable solvent like acetonitrile. A similar method is described by M. E. Kopach et. al. J. Org .Chem. 2003 685739-5741.
General Scheme 1
Alternatively, as shown below in General Scheme 2, an intermediate like 1-2 may be prepared using a procedure similar to the one outlined in J. Blanco-Pilado et al, in WO2004/094380. Vinyl trimethylsilane and an acyl chloride are condensed with AICI3 to give an intermediate that is then reacted with an amine like benzylamine to give the alkylated piperidinone 1-2.
General Scheme 2
General Scheme 3 below depicts a four-component coupling reaction between a piperidinone derivative, amine, isonitrile, and cyantate, which assembles the core structure 3-1. A similar method is described in. Chung et al, U.S. Patent No. 5,221,675. Further elaboration of 3-1 is possible, for example, by removal of a temporary R3 group to give 3-2, followed by alkylation with a different R.3 to give new structure 3-3, using methods similar to that described above for 1-1.
The term "Ph" as depicted in the following schemes represents optionally substituted phenyl (as described in formula (I) herein).
General Scheme 3
General Scheme 4 depicts an alternative route that allows the formation of compounds of the invention where Rl may be varied toward the end of the synthesis. Similar to methods found in P.L. Feldman et al, J.Org.Chem. 1990 55, 4207, 1983, 4751-4754, Strecker reaction on a suitably substituted intermediate 1-1 gives nitrile 5-1, which can be deprotected to give the unsubstituted piperidine 5-2 and then derivitized in a manner similar to that described for 1-2 to give nitrile 5-3. 5-3 may be acylated to give 5-4 and then cyclized to 5-5 by treatment with water. 5-5 may then be treated with a sulfur source like hydrogen sulfide to give 5-6 and then reacted with a suitable amine to give 5-7.
General Scheme 4a depicts a similar route that allows the formation of compounds of the invention where Rl may be varied toward the end of the synthesis. Here the nitrile 4-3 may be acylated to give 4a-l and then cyclized to 4a-2 by treatment with water. 4a-2 may then be directly reacted with a suitable amine to give 4a-3.
General Scheme 4a
General Scheme 5 depicts an alternative route, which allows efficient variation of Rl and CH2R3- groups in compounds of the invention. Ih this scheme, a piperidinone protected with a suitable removable protecting group like CBZ (where W is CH2-phenyl) can take part in a Strecker reaction in the presence OfZn(CN)2 to give the desired stereoisomeric Strecker product as the major isomer. Alternatively, the Strecker reaction similar to that described by J. Cossy in Synthesis 1995 11 1368-1370 may be done with TMSCN/HOAC and the resulting mixture of diastereomeric products can be treated with TMSCN in EtOH with heat to equilibrate the mixture so that the major isomer is the desired one. Acylation with a suitable agent like trichloroacetylisocyanate followed by cyclization with methanol/water in a procedure similar to that described by R. Sarges, et.al. in JOC 1982, 474081-4085 leads to the isolable intermediate iminohydantoin 5-6 that can be converted directly to the Rl substituted intermediate 5^8 by heating with a suitable amine. The nitrogen protecting group may then be removed and a suitable alkylating agent with a suitable base like potassium carbonate may used to incorporate the -CH2-R3 substituent.
General Scheme 5
General Scheme 6 depicts an alternative route to the preparation of compounds of the invention utilizing a sulfur-containing reagent like thiocyanate in the Ugi reaction similar to conditions described by I.Ugi et.al. Ann. 1963, 666 54-61 to give the thiohydantoin 6-2, and then conversion of 6-2 to the iminohydantoin 6^3 in a manner similar to that described by K. Senga et.al. Chem. Pharm. Bull. 26(3) 765-769 by activation with thionyl chloride followed by reaction with a suitable alcohol like methanol and acid like acetic acid.
The term "substantially pure" means that the isolated material is at least 90% pure, and preferably 95% pure, and even more preferably 99% pure as assayed by analytical techniques known in the art.
By "pharmaceutically acceptable" it is meant the carrier, diluent or excipient must be compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.
The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to salts prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic bases or acids including inorganic or organic bases and inorganic or organic acids.

The foregoing list of combinations is illustrative only and not intended to be limiting in any way. The compounds of the invention, like many protease inhibitors, are believed to be metabolized in vivo by cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase. Cytochrome P-450 is a family of isozymes which impact drug metabolism. Cytochrome P-450 isozymes (including the CYP3A4 isozyme) transform drug molecules in vivo, typically via oxidation. Metabolism by cytochrome P-450 often leads to unfavorable pharmacokinetics, and the need for more frequent and higher doses than are desirable. Administration of such drugs with an agent that inhibits metabolism by cytochrome P-450 may improve the pharmacokinetics (i.e., increase half-life, increase time to peak plasma concentration, increase blood levels) of the drug.
In one embodiment, the invention is directed to the combination or co-administration of a compound of the invention and a cytochrome P-450 inhibitor. The invention is also directed to a method for improving the pharmacokinetics of a compound of the invention which is metabolized by cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase, by administering a compound of the invention with a cytochrome P-450 inhibitor.
The combination of a P-450 inhibitor and a compound of the invention may be administered as part of a unit dosage form combination product, or as a kit or treatment protocol wherein one or more p450 inhibitors are administered in separate dosage forms as part of a treatment regimen. Exemplary ρ450 inhibitors include ketoconazole, clarithromycin, erythromycin, isoniazid, fluoxetine, midazolam, delavirdine, indinavir, ritonavir, dihydralazine, verapamil, troleandomycin, tamoxifen and irinotecan. Other p450 inhibitors are disclosed in Pea et al, Clin Pharmacolάnet 2001, 40(11), 833-868; Zhou et al, Current Drug Metabolism 2004, 5, 415-442; and Wienkers, J. Pharm Toxicol Methods 2001, 45: 79-84. A preferred p450 inhibitor is ritonavir. The term "composition" as used herein is intended to encompass a product comprising specified ingredients in predetermined amounts or proportions, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from combination of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts. This term in relation
to pharmaceutical compositions is intended to encompass a product comprising one or more active ingredients, and an optional carrier comprising inert ingredients, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from combination, complexation or aggregation of any two or more of the ingredients, or from dissociation of one or more of the ingredients, or from other types of reactions or interactions of one or more of the ingredients.
In general, pharmaceutical compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing the active ingredient into association with a liquid carrier or a finely divided solid carrier or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation. In the pharmaceutical composition the active compound, which is a compound of the invention, is included in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect upon the process or condition of diseases. Accordingly, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention encompass any composition made by admixing a compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
The carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration, e.g., oral or parenteral (including intravenous). Thus, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be presented as discrete units suitable for oral administration such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient. Further, the compositions can be presented as a powder, as granules, as a solution, as a suspension in an aqueous liquid, as a nonaqueous liquid, as an oil-in-water emulsion or as a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. In addition to the common dosage forms set out above, the compounds of the invention, may also be administered by controlled release means and/or delivery devices.
Pharmaceutical compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets may contain a compound of the invention in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period.
A tablet containing a compound of this invention may be prepared by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients or adjuvants. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing, in a suitable machine, a compound of the invention in a free-flowing form such as powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine, a mixture of the powdered compound
moistened with an inert liquid diluent. Each tablet preferably contains from about O.lmg to about 500 mg of the compound of the invention, and each cachet or capsule preferably contains from about O.lmg to about 500 mg of the compound of the invention.
Compositions for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the compound of the invention is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the compound of the invention is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.
Other pharmaceutical compositions include aqueous suspensions, which contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. In addition, oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the compound of the invention in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. Oily suspensions may also contain various excipients. The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions, which may also contain excipients such as sweetening and flavoring agents. The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspension, or in the form of sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of such sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the final injectable form must be sterile and must be effectively fluid for easy syringability. The pharmaceutical compositions must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage; thus, preferably should be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be in a form suitable for topical use such as, for example, an aerosol, cream, ointment, lotion, dusting powder, or the like. Further, the compositions can be in a form suitable for use in transdermal devices. These formulations may be prepared via conventional processing methods. As an example, a cream or ointment is prepared by mixing hydrophilic material and water, together with about 5 wt% to about 10 wt% of the compound of the invention, to produce a cream or ointment having a desired consistency.
Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can also be in a form suitable for rectal administration wherein the carrier is a solid. It is preferable that the mixture forms unit dose suppositories. Suitable carriers include cocoa butter and other materials commonly used in the art. The terms "administration of or "administering a" compound should be understood to mean providing a compound of the invention to a patient in need of treatment in a form that can be introduced into the patient's body in a therapeutically useful form and therapeutically useful amount, including, but not limited to: oral dosage forms, such as tablets, capsules, syrups, suspensions, and the like; injectable dosage forms, such as IV, IM, or IP, and the like; transdermal dosage forms, including creams, jellies, powders, or patches; buccal dosage forms; inhalation powders, sprays, suspensions, and the like; and rectal suppositories.
The terms "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" means the amount of the subject compound that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought by the researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician.
As used herein, the term "treatment" or "treating" means any administration of a compound of the invention and includes (1) inhibiting the disease in an animal that is experiencing or displaying the pathology or symptomatology of the diseased (i.e., arresting further development of the pathology and/or symptomatology), or (2) ameliorating the disease in an animal that is experiencing or displaying the pathology or symptomatology of the diseased (i.e., reversing the pathology and/or symptomatology). The term "controlling" includes preventing treating, eradicating, ameliorating or otherwise reducing the severity of the condition being controlled.
The compositions containing compounds of the invention may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. The term "unit dosage form" is taken to mean a single dose wherein all active and inactive ingredients are combined in a suitable system, such that the patient or person administering the drug to the patient can open a single container or package with the entire dose contained therein, and does not have to mix any components together from two or more containers or packages. Typical examples of unit dosage forms are tablets or capsules for oral administration, single dose vials for injection, or suppositories for rectal administration. This list of unit dosage forms is not intended to be limiting in any way, but merely to represent typical examples of unit dosage forms. The compositions containing compounds of the invention may conveniently be presented as a kit, whereby two or more components, which may be active or inactive ingredients, carriers, diluents, and the like, are provided with instructions for preparation of the actual dosage form by the patient or person adminstering the drug to the patient. Such kits may be provided with all necessary materials and ingredients contained therein, or they may contain instructions for using or making materials or components that must be obtained independently by the patient or person administering the drug to the patient.
When treating, ameliorating, controlling or reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease or other diseases for which compounds of the invention are indicated, generally satisfactory results are obtained when the compounds of the invention are administered at a daily dosage of from about 0.1 mg to about 100 mg per kg of animal body weight, preferably given as a single daily dose or in divided doses two to six times a day, or in sustained release form. The total daily dosage is from about 1.0 mg to about 2000 mg, preferably from about 0.1 mg to about 20 mg per kg of body weight. In the case of a 70 kg adult human, the total daily dose will generally be from about 7 mg to about 1,400 mg. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimal therapeutic response. The compounds may be administered on a regimen of 1 to 4 times per day, preferably once or twice per day.
The amount of the compound of the invention that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of
administration. For example, a formulation intended for the oral administration to humans may conveniently contain from about 0.005 mg to about 2.5 g of a compound of the invention, compounded with an appropriate and convenient amount of carrier material. Unit dosage forms will generally contain between from about 0.005 mg to about 1000 mg of the compound of the invention, typically 0.005 mg, 0.01 mg, 0.05 mg, 0.25 mg, 1 mg, 5 mg, 25 mg, 50mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg, 500 mg, 600 mg, 800 mg or 1000 mg, administered once, twice or three times a day.
It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level and frequency of dosage for any particular patient may be varied and will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the metabolic stability and length of action of that compound, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the severity of the particular condition, and the host undergoing therapy.
The utility of the compounds in accordance with the present invention as inhibitors of β- secretase enzyme activity may be demonstrated by methodology known in the art. Enzyme inhibition may be determined as follows. ECL Assay: A homogeneous end point electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assay is performed using a biotinylated BACE substrate. The Km of the substrate is greater than 100 μM and can not be determined due to the limit of solubility of the substrate. A typical reaction contains approximately 0.1 nM enzyme, 0.25 μM of the substrate, and buffer (50 mM NaOAc, pH 4.5, 0.1 mg/ml BSA, 0.2% CHAPS, 15 mM EDTA and 1 mM deferoxamine) in a total reaction volume of 100 μl. The reaction proceeds for 30 min and is then stopped by the addition of 25 μL of 1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0. The resulting enaymatic product is assayed by adding a ruthenylated antibody which specifically recognizes the C- terminal residue of the product. Streptavidin coated magnetic beads are added into the solution and the samples are subjected to M-384 (Igen Inc., Gaithersburg, MD) analysis. Under these conditions, less than 10% of substrate is processed by BACE 1. The enzyme used in these studies is soluble (transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic extension excluded) human protein produced in a baculovirus expression system. To measure the inhibitory potency for compounds, 12 concentrations of inhibitors are prepared starting from 100 μM with three fold series dilution. Solutions of the inhibitor in DMSO are included in the reaction mixture (final DMSO concentration is 10 %). All experiments are conducted at rt using the standard reaction conditions described above. To determine the IC50 of the compound, a four parameter equation is used for curve fitting. The errors in reproducing the dissociation constants are typically less than two-fold.
In particular, the compounds of the invention have activity in inhibiting the beta-secretase enzyme in the aforementioned assay, generally with an IC50 from about 1 nM (.001 μM) to 200 μM. Preferred compounds of the invention have an IC50 from about .001 μM to 1 μM. Such results are indicative of the intrinsic activity of the compounds as inhibitors of beta-secretase enzyme activity. sAPPβ Assay: sAPP/3 is the soluble N-terminal product of APP after processing by BACE 1. Biochemical assays for BACE-I inhibitions have been developed for evauating the BACE inhibition
properties of drug candidates. Suitable BACEl assays use purified, soluble recombinant BACE 1 with a coumarin labeled petide containing an optimized cleavage sequence NFEV at the P2-P2' position. An exemplary cell-based assay is described at Pietrak et al, Analytical Biochemistry 342 (2005), 144-151.
Preferred compounds of the invention have an IC50 value in a standard sAPP/? assay of less than 10 μM, more preferably less than 1 μM.
Additional assays used to evaluate the compounds of the invention for use as pharmaceuticals include Pgp transport assays and PXR assays.
Pgp Transport Assay: The compounds of the invention also demonstrate favorable properties in a P-glycoprotein (Pgp) efflux human assay. Pgp is a xenobiotic transport protein, which is expressed in various human tissues, including the intestine, liver and kidney. Pgp acts to transport xenobiotic materials out of cells. Many therapeutically effective compounds have been found to be Pgp substrates. As a result, the interaction of a drug candidate with Pgp is an important concern in pharmaceutical research.
Various Pgp human assays have been developed and commercialized for use in evaluating drug candidates. Typically, the Pgp human assay is designed to determine in vitro inhibitory properties of compounds for human PGP-mediated transport. An exemplary Pgp human assay is described in Keogh et al, EurJPharm Sci 27 (2006) 543-554.
PXR Assay: The pregnane X receptor (PXR) assay was designed to identify compounds which induce cyctochrome P4503A4 (CYP3A4). CYP3A4 is a drug metabolizing enzyme which is present in large amounts human liver microsomes. An exemplary PXR assay is described in Luo et al, Drug
Metabol andDisp (2002) 30(7):795-804. See also Iyer et al, "Functional Evolution of the Pregrnane X Receptor," Expert Opin DrugMetab Toxicol (2006) 2(3):381-397.

In an alternative preparation, AlCl3 (15g, 0.11 mole ) was added to a 3-necked flask equipped with a jacketed addition funnel, flushed with argon and cooled in an ice bath. Crotonyl chloride (2 Ig, 200 mmol) was added dropwise while keeping the temperature of the reaction below 15° C. The resulting light yellow solution was stirred for 15 min before the ice bath was replaced with an ethyleneglycol/dry ice bath and the solution cooled to -20° C. Vinylsilane (21.1 ml, 220 mmol) was added dropwise from the ice-cooled jacketed addition funnel keeping the temperature of the reaction below -20° C. The reaction was stirred for 3 hr and then added quickly to a slurry of 200 mL saturated aqueous sodium/potassium tartrate solution, 20Og K2CO3, 30OmL ice and 500 mL ether.

4-methoxypyridine (5.36 g, 49.1 mmol, 1.0 eq) was weighed into a 500 mL flask with a stir bar and septum. The flask was flushed with nitrogen, and THF (80 mL) was added, followed by triethylamine (0.70 mL, 5.0 mmol, 0.10 eq). The solution was stirred and cooled to -78 0C, at which point benzyl chloroformate (7.0 mL, 49.7 mmol, 1.01 eq) was added over 1 min, giving a large amount of white precipitate. An additional portion of THF (50 mL) was added to assist stirring. After stirring at - 78 0C for lOmin, a 1.4M solution of methyl magnesium bromide in toluene:THF (3:1) (50 mL, 70mmol,
1.4equiv) was added over 1.5 min, causing most of the precipitate to go into solution. The cold bath was removed and the reaction was allowed to stir and warm to rt over 2h. The reaction was then cooled to - 10 0C in an ice salt bath, then quenched by addition of IH hydrochloric acid. The reaction was diluted with ether, and the aqueous layer removed. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to provide the desired enone, which was carried on directly to the next reaction.

0C, and zinc dust (12.9 g, 197 mmol, 4.14 eq) was added in 4 portions over 2.5h. The reaction was then filtered through celite using ethyl acetate, then concentrated to an oil. The oil was dissolved into diethyl ether and water, and the aqueous layer was removed. The organic layer was washed three times with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, then dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by filtration over silica gel in a Buchner funnel, using 25% ethyl acetate in hexanes to remove less polar impurities, followed by 50% ethyl acetate in hexanes to elute the desired product, which was obtained as a yellow oil after concentration.
A portion of the ketone (5.36 g, 21.7 mmol, 1.0 eq), 3-fluoroaniline (6.0 mL, 62.4 mmol, 2.88 eq) and acetic acid (70 mL) were placed in a 200 mL flask. The solution was stirred and cooled to slightly below rt in an ice bath, then a IM solution of titanium tetrachloride in dichloromethane (28 mL, 28 mmol, 1.29 eq) was added over 2 min. The reaction was then stirred and warmed to 50 0C in an oil bath, and zinc cyanide (10.0 g, 85.2 mmol, 3.93 eq) was added. The reaction was stirred at 50 0C for 15.5h, at which point LCMS indicated that a small amount of ketone remained. Another portion of aniline (1.3 mL, 13.5 mmol, 0.62 eq) was added, followed by zinc cyanide (1.97 g, 16.8 mmol, 0.77 eq). LCMS after 30min indicated that all of the ketone had been consumed. The reaction was diluted with dichloromethane and washed twice with IN hydrochloric acid, then three times with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic solution was then dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to provide the aminonitrile. If desired, the mixture of trans and cis products can be separated at this stage, using silica gel chromatography. A portion of trans aminonitrile (1.859 g, 5.06 mmol) was dissolved into methanol (40 mL) in a Parr flask. A slurry of 20% Pd(OH)2/C (247.8 mg) in ethyl acetate (2 mL) was added, and the flask was attached to a Parr shaker, and hydrogenated under 40psi hydrogen pressure for 3.5h. The reaction was then filtered through celite, and concentrated to an oil. If not previously separated, the cis and trans isomers are separable at this stage by silica gel chromatography (95% dichloromethane: 5% of 2N ammonia (MeOH)), with the undesired cis isomer (Rf~0.20) eluting slightly faster than the desired trans isomer (Rf~0.16).

Aportion of the above trans piperidine (211 nig, 0.91 mmol, 1.0 eq.) and 3-(isopropoxy)benzyl chloride (250 mg, 1.35 mmol, 1.48 eq.)) were dissolved into 5 mL of acetonitrile containing potassium carbonate (540 mg, 3.9 mmol, 4.2 eq.). The reaction mixture was stirred at 60 0C for 16 hrs and was then poured into saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. After extraction with 30 mL of dichloromethane three times, the combined organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate. The desired product was obtained by column chromatography (3% ether, 97% dichloromethane).
A portion of benzyl piperdine prepared as described above (1.7563 g, 4.60 mmol, 1.0 eq.) was placed in a flask and dichloromethane (20 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred and cooled to 0 0C, and trichloroacetyl isocyanate (0.60 mL, 5.05 mmol, 1.10 eq.) was added. After stirring for 5 min, LCMS revealed that some of the starting material remained. Another portion of trichloroacetyl isocyanate (0.20 mL, 1.69 mmol, 0.37 eq.) was added. The reaction mixture was then stirred for 10 min and then water (415 μL, 23.1 mmol, 5.0 eq.) was added. The reaction mixture was then capped and placed in a -20 0C freezer overnight. The reaction was then warmed to rt and stirred hard for 2.5h with a magnetic stirrer. The reaction was then concentrated to a white foam. Flash chromatography over silica gel (95:6.5: 1 dichloromethane:methanol:saturated ammonium hydroxide (aq.) provided the desired iminohydantoin as a white solid.
