Definitions
- the present invention refers to selected galantamine derivatives having in comparison to galantamine higher efficacy and lower levels of adverse side effects in treatment of human brain diseases.
- the plant alkaloid galantamine has been described as a cholinesterase inhibitor (ChE-I) and as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) sensitizing agent (APL; allosterically potentiating ligand), and galantamine has been proposed for the treatment of several human brain diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD).
- AD Alzheimer's disease
- the compliance of Alzheimer patients to treatment with ChE-I and APL is rather low, of the order of 20%, a key reason being the adverse effects nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, anorexia and muscle cramps.
- the manufacturer's recommended daily dose of the drug is limited to 16-24 mg per day, and this dose is slowly reached by stepwise dose increase, beginning at 4 mg/day and over a period of 2-3 months.
- WO2007/039138 reference is made to the low hydrophobicity and related limited partition into the human brain of galantamine, and several procedures for overcoming these drawbacks of a medication that is supposed to act on target molecules located in the brain's central nervous system are proposed.
- numerous derivatives of galantamine that significantly improve transport of the respective compound through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) are described and they are proposed as drugs for the treatment of a variety of diseases associated with cognitive deficits.
- EP-A 648 771 , EP-A 649 846 and EP-A 653 427 all describe galantamine derivatives, a process for their preparation and their use as medicaments, however none of these applications considers ways and means of enhancing penetration through the blood-brain barrier and brain-to-plasma ratio of base compounds and derivatives.
- US 6,150,354 refers to several galantamine analogues for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. However, selective chemical modification for the purpose' of increasing penetration through the blood-brain barrier is not considered.
- WO 01/74820, WO 00/32199 and WO 2005030333 refer to derivatives and analogues of galantamine for the treatment of a variety of human brain and other diseases, and acute functional brain damage. However, selective chemical modifications or other means of improving blood-brain barrier penetration and brain-to-blood concentration ratio are not considered.
- WO 88/08708, WO 99/21561, WO 01/43697 and US 2003/0162770 refer to derivatives and analogues of galantamine for the treatment of various cognitive symptoms. However, selective chemical modifications or other means of improving brain-to-blood concentration ratio are not considered.
- WO 2005/030713 refers to a method for the synthesis of optical isomers of galantamine from a narwedine bromoamide derivative. However, it does not deal with other derivatives of galantamine, or their use as medicaments, or chemical modifications aimed at enhancing brain-to-blood concentration ratio of said compounds.
- WO 97/40049 describes several derivatives of benzazepines and related compounds that may be applied for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. However, no concept is provided in this application for increasing the penetration of compounds through the blood-brain barrier and providing high brain-to-blood concentration ratio.
- the object of the present invention is to provide compounds usable as pro-drugs or as a medicament having high pharmacodynamic effects in the brain's central nervous system and low peripheral side effects.
- the proposed derivatives were designed as pro-drugs, in the sense that they are able to effectively pass the blood brain barrier (BBB) and, after passing the BBB, they are substrates of endogenous enzymes and, upon enzymatic cleavage, produce galantamine.
- BBB blood brain barrier
- the present invention focuses on esters of galantamine that as such have little or no activity as ChE-I and APL compared to galantamine. Therefore, as long as these compounds remain uncleaved, they do not interact with the usual target molecules of galantamine and hence are largely inactive in producing therapeutic and/or side effects.
- the reduced reactivity of pro-galantamines is demonstrated by the following results:
- esters of galantamine display unexpectedly high brain-to-blood concentration ratios (R ⁇ B -proGal > 6, as compared to R ⁇ B -Gal ⁇ 1.3) and in the brain they are relatively slowly enzymatically cleaved to galantamine. Therefore, as is discussed below in more detail, these pro- galantamines are exceptionally well suited for the treatment of human diseases associated with cholinergic deficits, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Schizophrenia and a variety of other psychiatric disorders.
- the esters of galantamine to which the present invention refers to have the following general structure:
- Rl either is CH(C 2 H 5 )CH 3 , CH 2 -C(CH 3 ) 3 , or cyclopropane or being an optionally substituted aromatic or hetero-aromatic 5- or 6-membered ring.
- aromatic and hetero-aromatic rings include benzene, naphthalene, thiophene, pyrrole, imidazole, pyrazole, oxazole and thiazole, in case that they are used as medicaments or pro-drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative or psychiatric or neurological disease associated with a cholinergic deficit.
- Such a disease preferably is selected from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, other types of dementia, schizophrenia, epilepsy, neuritis, various types of poisoning, anesthesia, particularly neuroleptic anesthesia, autism, spinal cord disorders, inflammation, particularly central inflammatory disorders, postoperative delirium and/or subsyndromal postoperative delirium, neuropathic pain, subsequences of the abuse of alcohol and drugs, addictive alcohol and nicotine craving, and subsequences of radiotherapy.
- compounds of formula I having aromatic or hetero-aromatic 5- or 6-membered ring selected from substituted benzene with the proviso that it is not 2- fluorobenzene or 3-nitro-4-fluorobenzene, optionally substituted naphthalene, thiophene, pyrrole, imidazole, pyrazole, oxazole, thiazole; or CH(C 2 H 5 )CH 3 , CH 2 -C(CHs) 3 , or cyclopropane are according to the knowledge of the inventor not yet described at all.
- R2-R6 comprising any substituent selected from H, halogen, optionally substituted Ci-C 3 alkyl or cyclopropyl, OH, O-alkyl, SH, S-alkyl, NH 2 , NH-alkyl, N- dialkyl, optionally substituted aryl or hetero-aryl, whereby neighbouring substitutents can cooperate to form an additional ring.
- the compounds are selected from the group consisting of the compounds as shown in table A, which is attached below.
- pro-drug refers to a derivative of galantamine (base compound) wherein the group(s) added or replaced on said base compound are cleaved or returned to the hydroxyl group originally contained in the base compound, when the derivative has reached the area or site of action.
- an effective agent is administrated as a derivative (which is said pro-drug)
- the compound mainly or exclusively effective at the target site within the brain is the agent itself, not the derivatised compound or metabolites other than the base compound thereof.
- derivative refers to any change of a base compound defined in the present application.
- derivative is used to describe a compound which either can be a pro-drug, or can be an effective agent itself/in its own right or in the derivatised form.
- pro-galantamine is used for any derivative of galantamine described herein which can be cleaved by an enzyme (esterase) resulting in galantamine.
- sensitising agent and "allosterically potentiating ligand, APL” refer to effectors that enhance cholinergic neurotransmission by interaction with an allosteric site at cholinergic receptors.
- cholinergic enhancer and “cholinergic agent” refer to compounds that enhance/modulate cholinergic neurotransmission by inhibition of cholinesterases, by allosteric sensitisation and/or direct activation of cholinergic receptors and/or by activating/modulating relevant intracellular pathways via second messenger cascades.
- a derivative or pro-drug has an "enhanced blood-brain barrier permeability "according to the present invention or an “enhanced blood-brain barrier penetration” if, after administration of a pro-drug or derivative thereof to a living organism, a higher amount of said compound penetrates through the BBB of that organism.
- a compound of the present invention provides an increased "brain-to-blood concentration ratio" or "brain-to-tissue concentration ratio” resulting in a higher level of effective agent in the brain, as compared to administration of the base compound without derivatisation.
- Methods for determination of an enhanced BBB permeability are disclosed in WO 2007/039138.
- the "base compound” as well as the “effective agent” according to the present invention is galantamine.
- the effective agent is obtained by (local) enzymatic cleavage of the derivative.
- logP is defined as the decadic logarithm of the partition coefficient P which is the ratio of the concentration of a compound in aqueous phase to the concentration of a compound in immiscible solvent, as the neutral molecule.
- alkyl shall mean a straight, branched or cyclic alkyl group. As “alkyl” Ci to Cio alkyl groups are preferred, C 2 to C 8 groups are more preferred and C 2 to C 6 groups are most preferred. Ci to Ci 0 means alkyl groups of the stated number of carbon atoms.
- Examples include, but are not limited to methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl, and straight and branched chain pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl and decyl etc...or the according cyclic alkyls.
- halo shall mean chloro, fluoro, bromo and iodo.
- aryl shall mean phenyl having 0, 1 , 2, 3, 4 or 5 substituents independently selected from the group of alkyl, alkoxy, alkylcarbonyl, halo- or trihalomethyl.
- cycloalkyl shall mean a cycloalkyl group of from 3 to 10 carbon atoms and including multiple ring alkyls such as for example, adamantyl, camphoryl, and 3- noradamantyl.
- Ci-Cio means Ci, C 2 , C 3 , C 4 , C 5 , C 6 ,C 7 , C 8, C 9 or C 10 ; or "between 0,1 and 1 " means 0,1, 0,2, 0,3, 0,4, 0,5, 0,6, 0,7, 0,8, 0,9 or 1.
- Benzoyl esters of galantamine were previously described in WO 9921561 Al Davis, Bonnie M. for a method of treatment of disorders of attention with galanthamine, lycoramine, and related compounds, but no syntheses or analytical or other data were provided for these compounds.
- the galantamine esters of the present invention have little, if any, activity as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors but rather are substrates of said enzyme (see above).
- the pro-galantamines referred to in the present document are substrates of the enzyme, as is exemplarily demonstrated in Figure 2.
- pro-galantamines of the present invention therefore either do not interact, or only to a very limited extend, with the established target molecules of galantamine, in particular cholinesterases and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
- pro-drugs they therefore have rather limited, if any, efficacy as cognition enhancers, and also produce only limited peripheral and central side effects, as compared to galantamine (see further below).
- Rl-benzoyl-galantamine displays an unexpectedly high brain-to-blood concentration ratio (R ⁇ B-proGal > 19), a large initial concentration in the brain, and it is only slowly cleaved to galantamine, as seen in the delayed appearance of a galantamine peak in brain and blood.
- the R ⁇ -value is significantly larger than what was expected from the logP value which probably is due to the slow cleavage of the pro-drug in the brain and a depot effect thereby produced.
- Co is the highest pro-galantamine concentration (ng/ml) achieved in mouse brain after i.v. injection of 3 mg/kg of pro-galantamine.
- R-Pro ist he brain-to-blood concentration ratio of pro- galantamine, R-GaI that of galantamine under these experimental conditions.
- Co and R-GaI are also provided for i.v. injection of the same amount of galantamine.
- the preferred Rl -prodrugs display little, if any side effects, as they are only very slowly converted to galantamine, thereby largely protecting them from acting as galantamine while being transported from the site of administration to the sites of action in the brain.
- Rl- pro-galantamines of the present invention display in ferrets much less gastro-intestinal side effects than galantamine. Ferrets were used in these studies as they are known to be particularly sensitive to gastro-intestinal side effects.
- SA salivation
- SH shivering
- RP respiratory problems
- DI diarrhea
- the compounds of this invention are particularly useful as medicaments for the treatment of human brain diseases associated with a cholinergic deficit, including the neurodegenerative diseases Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and the neurological/psychiatric diseases vascular dementia, schizophrenia and epilepsy.
- the compounds Based on preclinical studies using various animal models, the compounds have dramatically reduced side effects as compared to galantamine, including much fewer, if any, incidents of emetic responses, diarrhea and vomiting.
- the resulting galantamine displays an advantageous pharmacokinetic profile in the brain and, due to its enhanced concentration level in the brain, displays also enhanced efficacy in interaction with the target molecules located in the brain. Taken together, these properties make the administration of galantamine as a Rl -prodrug a preferred medication in the diseases mentioned above.

- the brain is removed from the animal (mouse), shock frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at minus 80 0 C until use. Before prepa ⁇ ng the extract, the frozen brain is thawed on ice and the weight is determined. Ice cold buffer (130 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2.5 mM CaC12, 1 mM MgC12, 5 mM Glucose, 5 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) is added to the thawed mouse brain (1 :4, weight to volume, resulting in a 20 % brain homogenate). The tissue is then homogenized in a potter homogeniser on ice, moving the piston up and down 11 times at 240 rpm. The freshly prepared mouse brain homogenate is divided into aliquots.

- GIn 1062 and GIn 0979 were used in concentrations of 0.01 , 0.03, 0.1 and 0.2 mg/ml, which when given in a volume of 10 ml/kg result in doses of 0.1, 0.3, 1 and 2 mg/kg i.p., respectively.
- Galanthamine was used in concentrations of 0.03, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 mg/ml, which when given in a volume of 10 ml/kg result in doses of 0.3, 1, 2 and 5 mg/kg i.p., respectively.
- Control animals received 15% -hydroxypropyl- ⁇ -cyclodextrin in 96 mM NaCl injection as a vehicle. Nicotine ((-)-Nicotine hydrogen tartrate salt, Sigma, France), scopolamine (-(- Scopolamine hydrochloride, Sigma, France) were dissolved in saline (0.9% NaCl, Aguettant, France) at the concentration of 0.04 and 0.1 mg/ml, respectively. They were administrated at a dosage volume of 10 ml/kg to achieve doses of 0.4 and 1 mg/kg, respectively.
- CD-I mice Four to five week old male CD-I mice (Janvier; Le Genest St Isle - France) were used for the study.
- mice were group-housed ( 10 mice per cage) and maintained in a room with controlled temperature (21-22°C) and a reversed light-dark cycle (12h/12h; lights on: 17:30 - 05:30; lights off: 05:30 - 17:30) with food and water available ad libitum.
- GIn 1062, GIn 0979 and galanthamine were evaluated in scopolamine-treated mice in the T-maze alternation model under the same experimental conditions. Both GIn 1062 and GIn 0979 were tested in doses of 0.1, 0.3, 1 and 2 mg/kg i.p. Galanthamine was tested in doses 0.1, 0.3, 1, 2 and 5 mg/kg i.p. Nicotine was tested in a dose of 0.4 mg/kg i.p. All these compounds were administrated immediately after the injection of 1 mg/kg i.p. scopolamine (20 min prior to the T-maze trial) used to induce memory deficit. Memory performance was assessed by the percentage of spontaneous alternation in the T- maze. The number of alternation in saline-injected mice was used as the base level of unaltered memory performance. Mice were housed 10 per cage. Each mouse in a cage was randomly assigned by a unique number (1 to 10) written on the tail with permanent ink.
- GIn 1062, GIn 0979 and galanthamine were tested separately in three set of experiments with different animals. Each set of experiments was divided in series of daily experiments that always comprises at least one representative of each of Saline/vehicle, Scopolamine/vehicle and Scopolamine/Nicotine (0.4mg/kg) groups.
- the T-maze apparatus was made of gray Plexiglas with a main stem (55 cm long x 10 cm wide x 20 cm high) and two arms (30 cm long x 10 cm wide x 20 cm high) positioned at 90 degree angle relative to the left and right of the main stem.
- a start box (15 cm long x 10 cm wide) was separated from the main stem by a guillotine door. Horizontal doors were present to close off specific arms during the force choice alternation task.
- the experimental protocol consists of one single session, which starts with 1 "forced- choice” trial, followed by 14 "free-choice” trials. In the first "forced-choice” trial, the animal is confined 5 s in the start arm and then released while either the left or right goal arm is blocked by a horizontal door.
- the mouse After the mouse is released, it will negotiate the maze and eventually enter the open goal arm, and return to the start position. Immediately after the return of the animal to the start position, the closed goal door is opened and the animal is now free to choose between the left and right goal arm ("free choice trials"). The animal is considered as entered when it places its four paws in the arm. A session is terminated and the animal is removed from the maze as soon as 14 free-choice trials have been performed or 10 min have elapsed, whatever event occurs first. The average duration of a trial is 6 min. The apparatus is cleaned between each animal using alcohol (70°). Urine and feces are removed from the maze.
- ED50 was read from the curve fitting table and represents the effective dose associated with 50% of response.
