Description

DISUBSTITUTED OCTAHYDROPYRROLO[3,4-clPYRROLES AS OREXIN

RECEPTOR MODULATORS

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to certain disubstituted

octahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, methods of making them, and methods of using them for the modulation of the orexin receptor and for the treatment of disease states, disorders, and conditions mediated by orexin receptor activity.

Background of the Invention

Orexin (or hypocretin) signaling is mediated by two receptors and two peptide agonists. The two orexin peptides (orexin A and orexin B) herein after referred to as orexins, bind to two high affinity receptors, termed orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptors. The orexin-1 receptor is selective in favor of orexin A, while the orexin-2 receptor binds both orexins with similar affinities. The orexins, are cleavage products of the same gene, prepro orexin. In the central nervous system neurons expressing prepro-orexin, the precursor from which orexin is produced, are found in the perifornical nucleus, the dorsal hypothalamus and the lateral hypothalamus (C. Peyron et al., J. Neurosci., 1998, 18(23), 9996- 10015). Orexinergic cells in these nuclei project to many areas of the brain, extending rostrally to the olfactory bulbs and caudally to the spinal cord (van den Pol, A.N. et al., J. Neuroscience., 1999, 19(8), 3171 -3182).

The broad CNS distribution of orexin projections and neurons

expressing orexin receptors is suggestive of orexin involvement in a number of physiological functions including; feeding, drinking, arousal, stress, reward, metabolism and reproduction (T. Sakurai, Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2007, 8(3), 171 -181 ).

The targeted necrosis of cells expressing prepro-orexin suggests the most physiologically important roles of the orexins are likely to be effects on arousal, feeding and metabolism (J. Hara et al., Neuron, 2001 , 30, 345-354). A prominent orexin neuronal projection via the vagus nerve probably mediates central orexin effects on cardiac parameters (W.K. Samson et al., Brain Res., 1999, 831 , 248-253; T. Shirasaka et al., Am. J. Physiol., 1999, 277, R1780- R1785; C.-T. Chen et al., Am. J. Physiol., 2000, 278, R692-R697), gastric acid secretion and gastric motility (A.L. Kirchgessner and M.-T. Liu, Neuron, 1999, 24, 941 -951 ; N. Takahashi et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 1999, 254, 623-627).

Several lines of evidence indicate that the orexin system is an important modulator of arousal. Rodents administered orexins intracerebroventricularly spend more time awake (Piper et al., J. Neurosci. 2000, 12, 726-730). Orexin- mediated effects on arousal have been linked to orexin neuronal projections to histaminergic neurons in the tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN) (Yamanaka et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 2002, 290, 1237-1245). TMN neurons express the orexin-2 receptor primarily, and the orexin-1 receptor to a lesser extent. Rodents whose prepro orexin gene has been knocked out, or whose orexigenic neurons have been lesioned, display altered sleep/wake cycles similar to narcolepsy (Chemelli et al., Cell 1999, 98, 437-451 ; Hara et al., 2001 , supra). Dog models of narcolepsy have been shown to have mutant or nonfunctional orexin-2 receptors (Lin et al., Cell 1999, 98, 365-376). Human narcolepsy appears to be linked to deficient orexin signaling, likely related to immune ablation of orexinergic neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (Mignot et al., Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2001 , 68: 686-699; Minot & Thorsby, New England J. Med. 2001 , 344, 692), or, in rare cases, to mutations in the orexin-2 gene (Peyron et al., Nature Med. 2000, 6, 991 -997). The disclosure that rats, dogs and humans treated with the dual orexin-1 /2 receptor antagonist, ACT-078573 (Brisbare-Roch et al., Nature Medicine, 2007, 13, 150-155) exhibited decreased alertness together with characteristic clinical and EEG

(electroencephalographic) signs of sleep provides evidence to support a role for the orexin system in the regulation of arousal, sleep and wake states. EEG data indicates that orexin-2 may be more important than orexin-1 in the modulation of sleep/wake (P. Malherbe et al., Molecular Pharmacology (2009) 76(3):618-31 ; C. Dugovic et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 2009, 330(1 ), 142- 151 ). Disorders of the sleep-wake cycle are therefore likely targets for orexin-2 receptor antagonist therapy. Examples of such disorders include sleep-wake transition disorders, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, jet-lag, disturbed sleep, and sleep disorders secondary to neurological disorders (e.g., manias, depressions, manic depression, schizophrenia, and pain syndromes (e.g., fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain).

The orexin system also interacts with brain dopamine systems.

Intracerebroventricular injections of orexins in mice increase locomotor activity, grooming and stereotypy; these behavioral effects are reversed by

administration of D₂ dopamine receptor antagonists (Nakamura et al., Brain Research, 873(1 ), 181 -7). Therefore, orexin-2 modulators may be useful to treat various neurological disorders; e.g., agonists or up-regulators to treat catatonia, antagonists or down-regulators to treat Parkinson's disease,

Tourette's syndrome, anxiety, delerium and dementias.

Recent evidence indicates a role for orexin in the pathogenesis of Alzheimers disease (Kang et al, Science Express, 2009, 1 -10). Brain interstitial fluid levels of amyloid-beta were demonstrated to fluctuate diurnally in both humans and rodents with sleep deprivation in rodents leading to significant increases in brain interstitial fluid levels of amyloid-beta. Infusion of a dual orexin antagonist in rodents suppressed interstitial levels of amyloid-beta and abolished the natural diurnal variation of amyloid-beta. The reduction of interstitial fluid amyloid-beta levels is correlated with reduced amyloid plaque formation, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, and consequently the regulation of sleep time could potentially inhibit amyloid-beta aggregation and slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

Orexin neurons project to many regions of the brain associated with reward function (T. Sakurai, supra) and research, focusing on animal models of drug intake, reward, and reinstatement, has expanded the link between the orexin system and addiction. A comprehensive set of data suggest that drugs of abuse activate the orexin system, which in turn enhances drug reward or drug seeking (G. Aston-Jones et al., Neuropharmacology, 2009, 56 (Suppl 1 ) 1 12-121 . Thus interactions between nicotine (J. K. Kane et al., Endocrinology, 2000, 141 (10), 3623-3629; J. K. Kane et al., Neurosci. Lett., 2001 , 298(1 ), 1 -4), morphine (D. Georgescu, et al., J. Neurosci., 2003, 23(8), 3106-31 1 1 ) and amphetamine (C. J. Winrow et al., Neuropharmacology, 2010, 58(1 ), 185-94) and the orexin system have been demonstrated. Additional studies from a number of laboratories have demonstrated an important relationship between the Orexin system and ethanol consumption. As examples, ethanol consumption in an alcohol-preferring strain of rat was shown to up regulate Orexin mRNA in the lateral hypothalamus and that an Orexin-1 receptor antagonist reduced operant responding for ethanol (Lawrence, et. al., Br. J. Pharmacol., 2006, 148, 752-759). Treatment with an orexin-1 antagonist has also been shown to decrease operant responding for ethanol (Richards, et. al., Psychopharmacology, 2008, 199 (1 ), 109-1 17). Other studies have

demonstrated increased Fos activation of orexin neurons following contextual reinstatement to ethanol seeking (Dayas, et. al., Biol. Psychiatry, 2008, 63 (2), 152-157 and Hamlin, et. al., Neuroscience, 2007, 146, 525-536). Studies have also shown increased ethanol consumption following Orexin infusion into the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus or in the lateral hypothalamus (Schneider, et. al., Alcohol. Clin. Exp. Res., 2007, 37(1 1 ), 1858-1865). These studies provide evidence that modulation of the Orexin system effects alcohol preference and therefore Orexin receptor antagonists are likely to be useful for the treatment of alcoholism.

Orexins and their receptors have been found in both the myenteric and submucosal plexus of the enteric nervous system, where orexins have been shown to increase motility in vitro (Kirchgessner & Liu, Neuron 1999, 24, 941 - 951 ) and to stimulate gastric acid secretion in vitro (Takahashi et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 1999, 254, 623-627). Orexin mediated effects on the gut may be driven by a projection via the vagus nerve (van den Pol, 1999, supra), as vagotomy or atropine prevent the effect of an intracerebroventricular injection of orexin on gastric acid secretion (Takahashi et al., 1999, supra). Orexin receptor antagonists or other down-regulators of orexin receptor- mediated systems are therefore potential treatments for ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea and gastroesophageal reflux.

Body weight may also be affected by orexin-mediated regulation of appetite and metabolism (T. Sakurai et al., Cell, 1998, 92(4), 573-585; T.

Sakurai, Reg. Pept, 1999, 85(1 ), 25-30). Some effects of orexin on

metabolism and appetite may be mediated in the gut, where, as mentioned, orexins alter gastric motility and gastric acid secretion. Orexin receptor antagonists therefore are likely to be useful in treatment of overweight or obesity and conditions related to overweight or obesity, such as insulin resistance, type II diabetes, hyperlipidemia, gallstones, angina, hypertension, breathlessness, tachycardia, infertility, sleep apnea, back and joint pain, varicose veins and osteoarthritis. Conversely, orexin receptor agonists are likely to be useful in treatment of underweight and related conditions such as hypotension, bradycardia, ammenorrhea and related infertility, and eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia.

Intracerebroventricularly administered orexins have been shown to increase mean arterial pressure and heart rate in freely moving (awake) animals (Samson et al., Brain Res. 1999, 831 , 248-253; Shirasaka et al., Am. J.

Physiol. 1999, 277, R1780-R1785) and in urethane-anesthetized animals

(Chen et al., Am. J. Physiol. 2000, 278, R692-R697), with similar results.

Orexin receptor agonists may therefore be candidates for treatment of hypotension, bradycardia and heart failure related thereto, while orexin receptor antagonists may be useful for treatment of hypertension, tachycardia and other arrhythmias, angina pectoris and acute heart failure.

From the foregoing discussion, it can be seen that the identification of orexin receptor modulators, in one embodiment modulators of the orexin-2 receptor, will be of great advantage in the development of therapeutic agents for the treatment of a wide variety of disorders that are mediated through these receptor systems.

Alkoxy includes methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, butoxy, t-butoxy, pentoxy and so on. "Aminoalkyl", "thioalkyl", and "sulfonylalkyl" are analogous to alkoxy, replacing the terminal oxygen atom of alkoxy with, respectively, NH (or NR), S, and S0₂.

The term "cyano" refers to the group -CN.

The term "cycloalkyl" refers to a saturated or partially saturated, monocyclic, fused polycyclic, or spiro polycyclic carbocycle having from 3 to 12 ring atoms per carbocycle. Illustrative examples of cycloalkyl groups include the following entities, in the form of properly bonded moieties:

A "heterocycloalkyl" refers to a monocyclic ring structure that is saturated or partially saturated and has from 4 to 7 ring atoms per ring structure selected from carbon atoms and up to two heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. The ring structure may optionally contain up to two oxo groups on sulfur ring members. Illustrative entities, in the form of properly bonded moieties, include:

The term "aryl" refers to a monocyclic, or fused or spiro polycyclic, aromatic carbocycle (ring structure having ring atoms that are all carbon) having from 3 to 12 ring atoms per ring.

To provide a more concise description, some of the quantitative expressions given herein are not qualified with the term "about". It is understood that, whether the term "about" is used explicitly or not, every quantity given herein is meant to refer to the actual given value, and it is also meant to refer to the approximation to such given value that would reasonably be inferred based on the ordinary skill in the art, including equivalents and approximations due to the experimental and/or measurement conditions for such given value. Whenever a yield is given as a percentage, such yield refers to a mass of the entity for which the yield is given with respect to the maximum amount of the same entity that could be obtained under the particular stoichiometric conditions. Concentrations that are given as percentages refer to mass ratios, unless indicated differently. The terms "buffered" solution or "buffer" solution are used herein interchangeably according to their standard meaning. Buffered solutions are used to control the pH of a medium, and their choice, use, and function is known to those of ordinary skill in the art. See, for example, G.D. Considine, ed., Van Nostrand's Encyclopedia of Chemistry, p. 261 , 5^th ed. (2005), describing, inter alia, buffer solutions and how the concentrations of the buffer constituents relate to the pH of the buffer. See also Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 84^th ed., pp. 8-37 to 8-44. For example, a buffered solution is obtained by adding MgS0₄ and NaHC0₃ to a solution in a 10:1 w/w ratio to maintain the pH of the solution at about 7.5.

Any formula given herein is intended to represent compounds having structures depicted by the structural formula as well as certain variations or forms. In particular, compounds of any formula given herein may have asymmetric centers and therefore exist in different enantiomeric forms. All optical isomers and stereoisomers of the compounds of the general formula, and mixtures thereof, are considered within the scope of the formula. Thus, any formula given herein is intended to represent a racemate, one or more enantiomeric forms, one or more diastereomeric forms, one or more

atropisomeric forms, and mixtures thereof. Furthermore, certain structures may exist as geometric isomers (i.e., cis and trans isomers), as tautomers, or as atropisomers.

The symbols and ""^- are used as meaning the same spatial arrangement in chemical structures shown herein. Analogously, the symbols and ^Ml are used as meaning the same spatial arrangement in chemical structures shown herein.

Additionally, any formula given herein is intended to refer also to hydrates, solvates, and polymorphs of such compounds, and mixtures thereof, even if such forms are not listed explicitly. Certain compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (II) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (II) may be obtained as solvates. Solvates include those formed from the interaction or complexation of compounds of the invention with one or more solvents, either in solution or as a solid or crystalline form. In some embodiments, the solvent is water and then the solvates are hydrates. In addition, certain crystalline forms of compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (II) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (I I) may be obtained as co-crystals. In certain embodiments of the invention, compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (II) were obtained in a crystalline form. In other embodiments, crystalline forms of compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (II) were cubic in nature. In other embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (II) were obtained in a crystalline form. In still other embodiments, compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (II) were obtained in one of several polymorphic forms, as a mixture of crystalline forms, as a polymorphic form, or as an amorphous form. In other

embodiments, compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (II) convert in solution between one or more crystalline forms and/or polymorphic forms.

Reference to a chemical entity herein stands for a reference to any one of: (a) the actually recited form of such chemical entity, and (b) any of the forms of such chemical entity in the medium in which the compound is being considered when named. For example, reference herein to a compound such as R-COOH, encompasses reference to any one of, for example, R-COOH_(S), R-COOH(soi), and R-COO^"(_SOi). In this example, R-COOH_(S) refers to the solid compound, as it could be for example in a tablet or some other solid

pharmaceutical composition or preparation; R-COOH_(SOi₎ refers to the undissociated form of the compound in a solvent; and R-COO^" _(SOi₎ refers to the dissociated form of the compound in a solvent, such as the dissociated form of the compound in an aqueous environment, whether such dissociated form derives from R-COOH, from a salt thereof, or from any other entity that yields R-COO^" upon dissociation in the medium being considered. In another example, an expression such as "exposing an entity to compound of formula R- COOH" refers to the exposure of such entity to the form, or forms, of the compound R-COOH that exists, or exist, in the medium in which such exposure takes place. In still another example, an expression such as "reacting an entity with a compound of formula R-COOH" refers to the reacting of (a) such entity in the chemically relevant form, or forms, of such entity that exists, or exist, in the medium in which such reacting takes place, with (b) the chemically relevant form, or forms, of the compound R-COOH that exists, or exist, in the medium in which such reacting takes place. In this regard, if such entity is for example in an aqueous environment, it is understood that the compound R-COOH is in such same medium, and therefore the entity is being exposed to species such as R-COOH (aq) and/or R-COO^"(_aq), where the subscript "(aq)" stands for "aqueous" according to its conventional meaning in chemistry and

biochemistry. A carboxylic acid functional group has been chosen in these nomenclature examples; this choice is not intended, however, as a limitation but it is merely an illustration. It is understood that analogous examples can be provided in terms of other functional groups, including but not limited to hydroxyl, basic nitrogen members, such as those in amines, and any other group that interacts or transforms according to known manners in the medium that contains the compound. Such interactions and transformations include, but are not limited to, dissociation, association, tautomerism, solvolysis, including hydrolysis, solvation, including hydration, protonation, and

deprotonation. No further examples in this regard are provided herein because these interactions and transformations in a given medium are known by any one of ordinary skill in the art.

In another example, a zwitterionic compound is encompassed herein by referring to a compound that is known to form a zwitterion, even if it is not explicitly named in its zwitterionic form. Terms such as zwitterion, zwitterions, and their synonyms zwitterionic compound(s) are standard lUPAC-endorsed names that are well known and part of standard sets of defined scientific names. In this regard, the name zwitterion is assigned the name identification CHEBI:27369 by the Chemical Entities of Biological Inerest (ChEBI) dictionary of molecular entities. As generally well known, a zwitterion or zwitterionic compound is a neutral compound that has formal unit charges of opposite sign. Sometimes these compounds are referred to by the term "inner salts". Other sources refer to these compounds as "dipolar ions", although the latter term is regarded by still other sources as a misnomer. As a specific example, aminoethanoic acid (the amino acid glycine) has the formula H₂NCH₂COOH, and it exists in some media (in this case in neutral media) in the form of the zwitterion ⁺H₃NCH₂COO^". Zwitterions, zwitterionic compounds, inner salts and dipolar ions in the known and well established meanings of these terms are within the scope of this invention, as would in any case be so appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art. Because there is no need to name each and every embodiment that would be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art, no structures of the zwitterionic compounds that are associated with the compounds of this invention are given explicitly herein. They are, however, part of the embodiments of this invention. No further examples in this regard are provided herein because the interactions and transformations in a given medium that lead to the various forms of a given compound are known by any one of ordinary skill in the art.

Any formula given herein is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds. Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine, and chlorine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁸0, ¹⁷0, ³¹ P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, ³⁶CI, ¹²⁵l, respectively. Such isotopically labeled compounds are useful in metabolic studies (preferably with ¹⁴C), reaction kinetic studies (with, for example ²H or ³H), detection or imaging techniques [such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)] including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays, or in

radioactive treatment of patients. In particular, an ¹⁸F or ¹¹C labeled compound may be particularly preferred for PET or an I¹²³ for SPECT studies. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., ²H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements.

Isotopically labeled compounds of this invention and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.

When referring to any formula given herein, the selection of a particular moiety from a list of possible species for a specified variable is not intended to define the same choice of the species for the variable appearing elsewhere. In other words, where a variable appears more than once, the choice of the species from a specified list is independent of the choice of the species for the same variable elsewhere in the formula, unless stated otherwise.

By way of a first example on substituent terminology, if substituent S¹ _exampie is one of Si and S₂, and substituent S² _exampie is one of S₃ and S , then these assignments refer to embodiments of this invention given according to the choices S¹ _exampie is Si and S² _exampie is S3; S¹ _exampie is Si and S² _exampie is S₄;

S example IS S₂ and S example IS S3; S example IS S₂ and S example IS S₄; and equivalents of each one of such choices. The shorter terminology "S¹ _exampie is one of Si and S₂, and S² _exampie is one of S₃ and S " is accordingly used herein for the sake of brevity, but not by way of limitation. The foregoing first example on substituent terminology, which is stated in generic terms, is meant to illustrate the various substituent assignments described herein. The foregoing convention given herein for substituents extends, when applicable, to members such as R¹ , R², R³, R⁴, A, R^a, R^b, R^c, R^d, R^e, R^f, R^g, R^h, R', R^j, and R^k, and any other generic substituent symbol used herein.

Furthermore, when more than one assignment is given for any member or substituent, embodiments of this invention comprise the various groupings that can be made from the listed assignments, taken independently, and equivalents thereof. By way of a second example on substituent terminology, if it is herein described that substituent S_exampie is one of S-i , S₂, and S₃, this listing refers to embodiments of this invention for which S_exampie is S-i ; S_exampie is S₂;

Sexampie IS S3; Sexampie IS One Of Si and S₂; Sexampie IS One Of Si and S3; Sexampie IS one of S₂ and S₃; S_exampie is one of S-i , S₂ and S₃; and S_exampie is any equivalent of each one of these choices. The shorter terminology "S_exampie is one of S-i , S₂, and S3" is accordingly used herein for the sake of brevity, but not by way of limitation. The foregoing second example on substituent terminology, which is stated in generic terms, is meant to illustrate the various substituent

assignments described herein. The foregoing convention given herein for substituents extends, when applicable, to members such as R¹ , R², R³, R⁴, A, R^a, R^b, R^c, R^d, R^e, R^f, R^g, R^h, R', R^j, and R^k, and any other generic substituent symbol used herein. The nomenclature "Cj__j" with j > i, when applied herein to a class of substituents, is meant to refer to embodiments of this invention for which each and every one of the number of carbon members, from i to j including i and j, is independently realized. By way of example, the term Ci_-3 refers independently to embodiments that have one carbon member (C-i), embodiments that have two carbon members (C₂), and embodiments that have three carbon members (C₃).

The term C_n-_malkyl refers to an aliphatic chain, whether straight or branched, with a total number N of carbon members in the chain that satisfies n < N < m, with m > n. Any disubstituent referred to herein is meant to

encompass the various attachment possibilities when more than one of such possibilities are allowed. For example, reference to disubstituent -A-B-, where A≠ B, refers herein to such disubstituent with A attached to a first substituted member and B attached to a second substituted member, and it also refers to such disubstituent with A attached to the second substituted member and B attached to the first substituted member.

According to the foregoing interpretive considerations on assignments and nomenclature, it is understood that explicit reference herein to a set implies, where chemically meaningful and unless indicated otherwise, independent reference to embodiments of such set, and reference to each and every one of the possible embodiments of subsets of the set referred to explicitly.

Compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (II) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are used, alone or in combination with one or more additional active ingredients, to formulate pharmaceutical compositions. A pharmaceutical composition therefore comprises an effective amount of at least one a compound of Formula (I) and Formula (II) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

The invention includes also pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (II), preferably of those described above and of the specific compounds exemplified herein, and methods of treatment using such salts.

A "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" is intended to mean a salt of a free acid or base of a compound represented by Formula (I) and Formula (II), that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, or otherwise biologically suitable for

administration to the subject. See, generally, G.S. Paulekuhn, et al., "Trends in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Salt Selection based on Analysis of the Orange Book Database", J. Med. Chem., 2007, 50:6665-72, S.M. Berge, et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts", J Pharm Sci., 1977, 66:1 -19, and Handbook of

Pharmaceutical Salts, Properties, Selection, and Use, Stahl and Wermuth, Eds., Wiley-VCH and VHCA, Zurich, 2002. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts are those that are pharmacologically effective and suitable for contact with the tissues of patients without undue toxicity, irritation, or allergic response. A compound of Formula (I) and Formula (II) may possess a sufficiently acidic group, a sufficiently basic group, or both types of functional groups, and accordingly react with a number of inorganic or organic bases, and inorganic and organic acids, to form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. bases, and inorganic and organic acids, to form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfites, phosphates, monohydrogen- phosphates, dihydrogenphosphates, metaphosphates, pyrophosphates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, acetates, propionates, decanoates, caprylates, acrylates, formates, isobutyrates, caproates, heptanoates, propiolates, oxalates, malonates, succinates, suberates, sebacates, fumarates, maleates, butyne-1 ,4-dioates, hexyne-1 ,6-dioates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, hydroxybenzoates, methoxybenzoates, phthalates, sulfonates, xylenesulfonates, phenylacetates, phenylpropionates, phenylbutyrates, citrates, lactates, γ-hydroxybutyrates, glycolates, tartrates, methane-sulfonates, propanesulfonates, naphthalene-1 -sulfonates,

naphthalene-2-sulfonates, and mandelates.

When the compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) contains a basic nitrogen, the desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method available in the art, for example, treatment of the free base with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfamic acid, nitric acid, boric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, phenylacetic acid, propionic acid, stearic acid, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, maleic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, isethionic acid, succinic acid, valeric acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, lauric acid, a pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, such as mandelic acid, citric acid, or tartaric acid, an amino acid, such as aspartic acid, glutaric acidor glutamic acid, an aromatic acid, such as benzoic acid, 2- acetoxybenzoic acid, naphthoic acid, or cinnamic acid, a sulfonic acid, such as laurylsulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, any compatible mixture of acids such as those given as examples herein, and any other acid and mixture thereof that are regarded as equivalents or acceptable substitutes in light of the ordinary level of skill in this technology.

When the compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) is an acid, such as a carboxylic acid or sulfonic acid, the desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method, for example, treatment of the free acid with an inorganic or organic base, such as an amine (primary, secondary or tertiary), an alkali metal hydroxide, alkaline earth metal hydroxide, any compatible mixture of bases such as those given as examples herein, and any other base and mixture thereof that are regarded as equivalents or acceptable substitutes in light of the ordinary level of skill in this technology. Illustrative examples of suitable salts include organic salts derived from amino acids, such as N-methyl-D-glucamine, lysine, choline, glycine and arginine, ammonia, carbonates, bicarbonates, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, and cyclic amines, such as tromethamine, benzylamines, pyrrolidines, piperidine, morpholine, and piperazine, and inorganic salts derived from sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, aluminum, and lithium.

The invention also relates to pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs of the compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (II), and treatment methods employing such pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs. The term "prodrug" means a precursor of a designated compound that, following administration to a subject, yields the compound in vivo via a chemical or physiological process such as solvolysis or enzymatic cleavage, or under physiological conditions (e.g., a prodrug on being brought to physiological pH is converted to the compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II)). A "pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug" is a prodrug that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, and otherwise biologically suitable for administration to the subject. Illustrative procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described, for example, in "Design of Prodrugs", ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985.

Exemplary prodrugs include compounds having an amino acid residue, or a polypeptide chain of two or more (e.g., two, three or four) amino acid residues, covalently joined through an amide or ester bond to a free amino, hydroxy, or carboxylic acid group of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (I I). Examples of amino acid residues include the twenty naturally occurring amino acids, commonly designated by three letter symbols, as well as 4- hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine, demosine, isodemosine, 3-methylhistidine, norvalin, beta-alanine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, citrulline homocysteine, homoserine, ornithine and methionine sulfone. Additional types of prodrugs may be produced, for instance, by derivatizing free carboxyl groups of structures of Formula (I) or Formula (II) as amides or alkyl esters. Examples of amides include those derived from ammonia, primary Ci-₆alkyl amines and secondary di(Ci-₆alkyl) amines.

Secondary amines include 5- or 6-membered heterocycloalkyl or heteroaryl ring moieties. Examples of amides include those that are derived from ammonia, Ci-₃alkyl primary amines, and di(Ci-₂alkyl)amines. Examples of esters of the invention include Ci_-7alkyl, C5_-7cycloalkyl, phenyl, and phenyl(C-|. ₆alkyl) esters. Preferred esters include methyl esters. Prodrugs may also be prepared by derivatizing free hydroxy groups using groups including

hemisuccinates, phosphate esters, dimethylaminoacetates, and

phosphoryloxymethyloxycarbonyls, following procedures such as those outlined in Fleisher et al., Adv. Drug Delivery Rev. 1996, 19, 1 15-130. Carbamate derivatives of hydroxy and amino groups may also yield prodrugs. Carbonate derivatives, sulfonate esters, and sulfate esters of hydroxy groups may also provide prodrugs. Derivatization of hydroxy groups as (acyloxy)methyl and (acyloxy)ethyl ethers, wherein the acyl group may be an alkyl ester, optionally substituted with one or more ether, amine, or carboxylic acid functionalities, or where the acyl group is an amino acid ester as described above, is also useful to yield prodrugs. Prodrugs of this type may be prepared as described in Robinson et al., J Med Chem. 1996, 39(l), 10- 8. Free amines can also be derivatized as amides, sulfonamides or phosphonamides. All of these prodrug moieties may incorporate groups including ether, amine, and carboxylic acid functionalities.

The present invention also relates to pharmaceutically active metabolites of the compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (II), which may also be used in the methods of the invention. A "pharmaceutically active metabolite" means a pharmacologically active product of metabolism in the body of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) or salt thereof. Prodrugs and active metabolites of a compound may be determined using routine techniques known or available in the art. See, e.g., Bertolini, et al., J Med Chem. 1997, 40, 201 1 -2016; Shan, et a\., J Pharm Sci. 1997, 86 (7), 765-767; Bagshawe, Drug Dev Res. 1995, 34, 220-230; Bodor, Adv Drug Res. 1984, 13, 224-331 ; Bundgaard, Design of Prodrugs (Elsevier Press, 1985); and Larsen, Design and Application of Prodrugs, Drug Design and Development (Krogsgaard-Larsen, et al., eds., Harwood Academic Publishers, 1991 ).

The compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (II) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, and pharmaceutically active metabolites of the present invention are useful as modulators of the orexin receptor in the methods of the invention. As such modulators, the compounds may act as antagonists, agonists, or inverse agonists. The term "modulators" include both inhibitors and activators, where "inhibitors" refer to compounds that decrease, prevent, inactivate, desensitize or down-regulate orexin receptor expression or activity, and "activators" are compounds that increase, activate, facilitate, sensitize, or up-regulate orexin receptor expression or activity.

The term "treat" or "treating" as used herein is intended to refer to administration of an active agent or composition of the invention to a subject for the purpose of effecting a therapeutic or prophylactic benefit through modulation of orexin receptor activity. Treating includes reversing,

ameliorating, alleviating, inhibiting the progress of, lessening the severity of, or preventing a disease, disorder, or condition, or one or more symptoms of such disease, disorder or condition mediated through modulation of orexin receptor activity. The term "subject" refers to a mammalian patient in need of such treatment, such as a human.

Accordingly, the invention relates to methods of using the compounds described herein to treat subjects diagnosed with or suffering from a disease, disorder, or condition mediated by orexin receptor activity, such as: disorders of the sleep-wake cycle, metabolic disorders, neurological disorders and other disorders (e.g., feeding, drinking, arousal, stress, addiction, metabolism and reproduction). Symptoms or disease states are intended to be included within the scope of "medical conditions, disorders, or diseases."

Sleep disorders include, but are not limited to, sleep-wake transition disorders, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, jet-lag, disturbed sleep, and sleep disorders secondary to neurological disorders (e.g., manias, depressions, manic depression, schizophrenia, and pain syndromes (e.g., fibromyalgia, neuropathic).

Metabolic disorders include, but are not limited to, overweight or obesity and conditions related to overweight or obesity, such as insulin resistance, type II diabetes, hyperlipidemia, gallstones, angina, hypertension, breathlessness, tachycardia, infertility, sleep apnea, back and joint pain, varicose veins and osteoarthritis.

Neurological disorders include, but are not limited to, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Tourette's Syndrome, catatonia, anxiety, delirium and dementias.

Other disorders include, but are not limited to, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea and gastroesophageal reflux.

In treatment methods according to the invention, an effective amount of a pharmaceutical agent according to the invention is administered to a subject suffering from or diagnosed as having such a disease, disorder, or condition. An "effective amount" means an amount or dose sufficient to generally bring about the desired therapeutic or prophylactic benefit in patients in need of such treatment for the designated disease, disorder, or condition. Effective amounts or doses of the compounds of the present invention may be ascertained by routine methods such as modeling, dose escalation studies or clinical trials, and by taking into consideration routine factors, e.g., the mode or route of administration or drug delivery, the pharmacokinetics of the compound, the severity and course of the disease, disorder, or condition, the subject's previous or ongoing therapy, the subject's health status and response to drugs, and the judgment of the treating physician. An example of a dose is in the range of from about 0.001 to about 200 mg of compound per kg of subject's body weight per day, preferably about 0.05 to 100 mg/kg/day, or about 1 to 35 mg/kg/day, in single or divided dosage units (e.g., BID, TID, QID). For a 70-kg human, an illustrative range for a suitable dosage amount is from about 0.05 to about 7 g/day, or about 0.2 to about 2.5 g/day.

Once improvement of the patient's disease, disorder, or condition has occurred, the dose may be adjusted for preventative or maintenance treatment. For example, the dosage or the frequency of administration, or both, may be reduced as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect is maintained. Of course, if symptoms have been alleviated to an appropriate level, treatment may cease. Patients may, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of symptoms.

In addition, the active agents of the invention may be used in

combination with additional active ingredients in the treatment of the above conditions. The additional active ingredients may be coadministered separately with an active agent of compounds of Table 1 or included with such an agent in a pharmaceutical composition according to the invention. In an exemplary embodiment, additional active ingredients are those that are known or discovered to be effective in the treatment of conditions, disorders, or diseases mediated by orexin activity, such as another orexin modulator or a compound active against another target associated with the particular condition, disorder, or disease. The combination may serve to increase efficacy (e.g., by including in the combination a compound potentiating the potency or effectiveness of an active agent according to the invention), decrease one or more side effects, or decrease the required dose of the active agent according to the invention.

The active agents of the invention are used, alone or in combination with one or more additional active ingredients, to formulate pharmaceutical compositions of the invention. A pharmaceutical composition of the invention comprises: (a) an effective amount of at least one active agent in accordance with the invention; and (b) a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

A "pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" refers to a substance that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, and otherwise biologically suitable for administration to a subject, such as an inert substance, added to a

pharmacological composition or otherwise used as a vehicle, carrier, or diluent to facilitate administration of a agent and that is compatible therewith.

Examples of excipients include calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars and types of starch, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, vegetable oils, and polyethylene glycols.

Delivery forms of the pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more dosage units of the active agents may be prepared using suitable pharmaceutical excipients and compounding techniques known or that become available to those skilled in the art. The compositions may be administered in the inventive methods by a suitable route of delivery, e.g., oral, parenteral, rectal, topical, or ocular routes, or by inhalation.

The preparation may be in the form of tablets, capsules, sachets, dragees, powders, granules, lozenges, powders for reconstitution, liquid preparations, or suppositories. Preferably, the compositions are formulated for intravenous infusion, topical administration, or oral administration.

For oral administration, the compounds of the invention can be provided in the form of tablets or capsules, or as a solution, emulsion, or suspension. To prepare the oral compositions, the compounds may be formulated to yield a dosage of, e.g., from about 0.05 to about 100 mg/kg daily, or from about 0.05 to about 35 mg/kg daily, or from about 0.1 to about 10 mg/kg daily. For example, a total daily dosage of about 5 mg to 5 g daily may be accomplished by dosing once, twice, three, or four times per day.

Oral tablets may include a compound according to the invention mixed with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as inert diluents,

disintegrating agents, binding agents, lubricating agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preservative agents. Suitable inert fillers include sodium and calcium carbonate, sodium and calcium phosphate, lactose, starch, sugar, glucose, methyl cellulose, magnesium stearate, mannitol, sorbitol, and the like. Exemplary liquid oral excipients include ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like. Starch, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP), sodium starch glycolate, microcrystalline cellulose, and alginic acid are suitable disintegrating agents. Binding agents may include starch and gelatin. The lubricating agent, if present, may be magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. If desired, the tablets may be coated with a material such as glyceryl

monostearate or glyceryl distearate to delay absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, or may be coated with an enteric coating.

Capsules for oral administration include hard and soft gelatin capsules.

To prepare hard gelatin capsules, compounds of the invention may be mixed with a solid, semi-solid, or liquid diluent. Soft gelatin capsules may be prepared by mixing the compound of the invention with water, an oil such as peanut oil or olive oil, liquid paraffin, a mixture of mono and di-glycerides of short chain fatty acids, polyethylene glycol 400, or propylene glycol.

Liquids for oral administration may be in the form of suspensions, solutions, emulsions or syrups or may be lyophilized or presented as a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid compositions may optionally contain: pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients such as suspending agents (for example, sorbitol, methyl cellulose, sodium alginate, gelatin, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, aluminum stearate gel and the like); non-aqueous vehicles, e.g., oil (for example, almond oil or fractionated coconut oil), propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol, or water; preservatives (for example, methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid); wetting agents such as lecithin; and, if desired, flavoring or coloring agents.

The active agents of this invention may also be administered by non-oral routes. For example, the compositions may be formulated for rectal

administration as a suppository. For parenteral use, including intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous routes, the compounds of the invention may be provided in sterile aqueous solutions or suspensions, buffered to an appropriate pH and isotonicity or in parenterally acceptable oil. Suitable aqueous vehicles include Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride. Such forms will be presented in unit-dose form such as ampules or disposable injection devices, in multi-dose forms such as vials from which the appropriate dose may be withdrawn, or in a solid form or pre-concentrate that can be used to prepare an injectable formulation. Illustrative infusion doses may range from about 1 to 1000 μg/kg/minute of compound, admixed with a pharmaceutical carrier over a period ranging from several minutes to several days.

For topical administration, the compounds may be mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier at a concentration of about 0.1 % to about 10% of drug to vehicle. Another mode of administering the compounds of the invention may utilize a patch formulation to affect transdermal delivery. Compounds of the invention may alternatively be administered in methods of this invention by inhalation, via the nasal or oral routes, e.g., in a spray formulation also containing a suitable carrier.

Exemplary compounds useful in methods of the invention will now be described by reference to the illustrative synthetic schemes for their general preparation below and the specific examples that follow. Artisans will recognize that, to obtain the various compounds herein, starting materials may be suitably selected so that the ultimately desired substituents will be carried through the reaction scheme with or without protection as appropriate to yield the desired product. Alternatively, it may be necessary or desirable to employ, in the place of the ultimately desired substituent, a suitable group that may be carried through the reaction scheme and replaced as appropriate with the desired substituent. Unless otherwise specified, the variables are as defined above in reference to Formula (I). Reactions may be performed between the melting point and the reflux temperature of the solvent, and preferably between 0 °C and the reflux temperature of the solvent. Reactions may be heated employing conventional heating or microwave heating. Reactions may also be conducted in sealed pressure vessels above the normal reflux temperature of the solvent.

Intermediate compounds of formulae (Via) and (VIb) are readily prepared as outlined in Scheme A from a commercially available or synthetically accessible compound of formula (IV). Compounds of formula (Via) are obtained by reacting a compound of formula (IV), where R^a2 is -H, halo, -Ci_-4alkyl, -Ci_-4alkoxy, -NO2, -NHCOCH3, or two R^a2 members may come together to form a 6-membered aryl ring, where X is C or N (with the proviso that only one X member can be N), with commercially available HET

compounds of formula (V), where

HET is a 5-6 membered heteroaryl ring containing one to three nitrogen members, in the presence of copper(l)iodide, CS2CO3 and Ν,Ν'- dimethylcyclohexane-1 ,2-diamine; in a solvent such as DMF or dioxane, at temperatures ranging from 60 °C to 100 °C (using conventional or microwave heating). One skilled in the art will recognize that 1 ,2,3-triazole can exist in two tautomeric forms defined as 2H-[1 ,2,3]triazole and 1 H-[1 ,2,3]triazole thus accounting for the formation of two regioisomers.

A compound of formula (X) is obtained by reacting a suitable compound of formula (IX) with pinacol borane in the presence of a phosphine and a palladium catalyst, in the presence of an amine base, in a solvent such as THF, at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 70 °C. In a preferred method the phosphine is tri(o-tolyl)phosphine, the palladium catalyst is

Pd(OAc)₂ and the amine base is t ethylamine.

A compound of formula (Vic) is obtained by reacting a compound of formula (X) with a compound R^b2-CI, where R^b2-CI is a suitable commercially available or synthetically accessible 6-membered chloro-substituted heteroaryl compound, in the presence of a palladium catalyst, a base such as Na₂C0₃, and the like, in a solvent such as 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran (2-methyl-THF), and the like, at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 80 °C. In a preferred method the palladium catalyst is PdCI₂(dppf)-dcm adduct , the base is Na₂CC>3 and the solvent is 2-methyl-THF. A compound of formula (Vic) is obtained from a compound of formula (XI) via ester hydrolysis.

According to SCHEME C, substituted heteroaryl compounds R²CI of formula (XlVa) and (XVIb) are prepared from commercially available or synthetically accessible compounds of formula (Xllla) or (Xlllb). Pyrimidols of formula (Xllla) or formula (Xlllb) are commercially available or are prepared by reacting substituted alkyl malonates of formula (XII), where R^e is halo, with urea in the presence of a base such as sodium ethoxide and the like; in a suitable solvent such as ethanol, at temperatures between room temperature and the reflux temperature of the solvent.

Step A: A one-piece EasyMax reactor was equipped with a mechanical stirred, a temperature probe, a reflux condenser and an NaOH scrubber. To the reactor was added 2-fluoro-6-triazol-2-yl benzoic acid (15.01 g, 72.5 mmol) and toluene (150.0 g), N, N dimethylformamide (0.06 g, 0.26 mmol) was then added, the reaction was held at 20 °C prior to the addition of thionyl chloride (1 1 .31 g, 94.1 mmol) via syringe pump. The reaction mixture was then heated to 50 °C over 15 minutes and then was stirred at that temperature for 1 .5 hours. The mixture was then heated to 55 °C and 20.4 g of solvent were distilled in vacuo to give 139.4 g of acid chloride solution which was used as is in Step C below.

Step B. In a 500 mL jacketed reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermometer and reflux condenser was charged with 2-(4,6- dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)octahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole, bis-HCI salt (21 .01 g, 72.1 mmol) and toluene (60.1 g) and the slurry was stirred at 0 °C. Sodium carbonate (30.6 g, 288.7 mmol) was then separately dissolved in water (151 .5 g) and then added to the slurry over 15 minutes to give the crude amine solution which was used directly in Step C.

Step C. To the crude amine solution from Step B in a 500 mL reactor held at 0 °C was added the crude acid chloride solution from Step 1 and the reaction was held at 0 °C for another 15 minutes, then heated to 30 °C over 30 minutes. During this time the product started to precipitate and the aqueous layer formed a slurry. The reaction was then cooled to 20 °C over 30 minutes and stirred at this temperature overnight. The mixture was then heated to 75 °C over 40 minutes and stirred for 35 minutes. Stirring was then stopped and after 30 minutes the aqeous layer was removed. To the organic layer was then added water (90.0 g) and the mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at 75 °C, then the stirrer was again stopped. After 10 minutes the aqueous layer was removed. To the remaining organic layer was added water (90.0 g) and the mixture was again stirred at 75 °C for 15 minutes, before the stirrer was again stopped, and after 10 minutes the aqueous layer was again removed.

Distillation of the remaining toluene solution was then performed (at 75 °C, 350 mbar) to remove 70 mL of solvent. The remaining solution was then cooled to 50 °C, and stirred for 20 minutes prior to the addition of Example 107 (0.04g, seed crystals to start the crystallization). The reaction was then stirred at 50 °C for 1 .5 hour, then the thin suspension was cooled to 30 °C over 1 hour then cooled to 0 °C over 1 hour. After 90 minutes the product was isolated by suction filtration, the filter cake was washed with cyclohexane (75 g), then washed with water (85.0 g) and the wet product cake was dried in vacuo at 55 °C overnight to give the title compound (25.21 g, 83%), Purity was assessed by HPLC (99.3%, 99.6%, and 99.3 area% (at 254, 235, and 280 nm, respectively).

(120.0 g) and 2-propanol (20.0 g) were then added. The mixture was heated to 85 °C over 30 minutes, then stirred for 45 minutes, then cooled to 75 °C over 15 minutes. The mixture was then filtered via a glass fiber filter, the filter was washed with 2-propanol (20.0 g) that was previously heated to 70 °C, The filtrates were then placed into a 500 mL jacketed reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer, reflux condenser and thermometer and heated to 85 °C, stirred for 5 minutes, cooled to 55 °C over 20 minutes and after 10 minutes at 55 °C a suspension of Example 107 (0.02 g) in 2-propanol ( 0.20 g) was added. The resulting thin suspension was stirred at 55 °C for 1 hour, then was cooled to 45 over 1 hour and stirred for 30 minutes before it was cooled to 0 °C over 3 hours and was stirred at that temperature overnight. After 13 hours, the product was isolated by suction filtration, the filter cake was washed via the reactor with 2-propanol (40.0 g, at 10 °C) to provide the wet product cake which was dried in vacuo at 60 °C overnight to give the title compound (18.18 g, 91 .3%) as a white to off-white crystalline solid. Purity was assessed by HPLC (99.7%, 99.8%, and 99.6 area% (at 254, 235, and 280 nm, respectively).

The organic was discarded and sodium bisulfite (44.7g) was added to the aqueous layer with some accompanying off-gassing. The mixture was then neutralized with 6 M HCI(ag) (127.7 mL) to a final pH of less than 1 . During this time a white precipitate came out of solution and some off-gassing was also noted. The mixture was filtered and washed with water (2 x 380 mL). The solids were then dried overnight in a vacuum oven at 80 °C to a final mass of 83.1 g. The product showed a ratio of 96 : 4 109a : 109b. The crude product was taken up in ethyl acetate (1 .454 L) / heptane (545 mL), and the mixture was warmed to 80 °c.^Note ² The mixture was then cooled to room temperature, filtered, and washed with 1 : 1 ethyl acetate : heptane (200 mL). After drying on the filter the product was isolated as a white solid (66.5 g, 74%). Note 1 : The bleach mixture was pre- warmed to avoid potential for accumulation and reaction runaway if 108a were added at room temperature. Note 2: The recrystallization was not completely homogeneous at reflux, presumably due to residual inorganics from the reaction. An attempted hot filtration was not successful. Data for 109a: ¹ H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 12.99 (bs, 1 H), 7.82 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 1 H), 7.27 (d, J = 2.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.03 (dd, J = 8.7, 2.5 Hz, 1 H), 3.83 (s, 3H).

HPLC retention time: 2.508 min. Data for 109b: ¹ H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 12.99 (bs, 1 H), 7.58 (d, J = 8.2 Hz, 1 H), 7.33 (d, J = 1 .7 Hz, 1 H), 7.20 (dd, J = 8.2, 1 .8 Hz, 1 H), 3.84 (s, 3H). HPLC retention time: 2.508 min (co-elutes with 109a).

Step 3: Intermediates 1 10a and 1 10b; 4-Methoxy-2-(2H-1 ,2,3-triazol-2- yl)benzoic acid and 4-methoxy-2-(1 H-1 ,2,3-triazol-1 -yl)benzoic acid.

Method A: To a 3 L, 3-necked, round-bottomed flask equipped with an overhead mechanical stirrer, a thermocouple probe, heating mantle, reflux condenser, and nitrogen inlet were added 2-bromo-4-methoxybenzoic acid^{Note 1} (75.71 g, 327.7 mmol), copper iodide (5.04 g, 26.4 mmol), and cesium carbonate (213.5 g, 0.6554 mol). To these solids were added dioxane (458 mL), then water (1 .8 mL, 98.3 mmol), then frans-1 ,2-dimethylcyclohexane-1 ,2- diamine (12.92 mL, 81 .9 mmol), and finally 1 H-1 ,2,3-triazole (38.0 mL, 0.655 mol). An exotherm to about 25 °C was observed upon solvent addition. The temperature further increased to 30 °C after the ligand was added. After 1 H- 1 ,2,3-triazole was added, the reaction was heated with the heating mantle to an internal temperature of 65 °C. Additional self-heating to at least 85 °C was then observed. The reaction was then warmed to 100 °C and held for 2 h.^{Note 2} The reaction was cooled to room temperature and then water (1 .1 L) and MTBE (1 .1 L) were added. The layers were mixed thoroughly and then separated. A small rag layer was disposed of. The aq. layer was then taken to a pH of 0.15 with cone. HCI (170 mL) (added slowly! some off-gassing), extracted with ethyl acetate (2 times), dried over Na₂S0₄, filtered, and concentrated to a final mass of 75.22 g (-75% desired).^{Note 3 and 4} The material was then taken up in a 1 :1 mixture of toluene and ethyl acetate, stirred overnight, and then concentrated to 62.53 g. This crude product mixture was taken up in 1 N HCI (500 mL) and EtOAc (500 mL). The layers were mixed well and then separated. The aqueous was extracted a second time with EtOAc (500 mL), and the combined organics were concentrated to a final mass of 66.92 g.^{Note 5} This crude sample was then taken up in 670 mL of toluene and stirred at 70 °C for -2 h; the still heterogeneous slurry was then cooled to room temperature with stirring for 2 h. The mixture was filtered and washed with 75 mL of toluene. The filter cake was dried to provide 1 10a as an off-white solid (48 g, 66% yield, 95% purity). ^{Note 6} Note 1 : Pure, 109a was utilized. In earlier instances, the starting material employed contained a mixture of 109a and 109b. In that case, the 109b isomer does not undergo reaction and was removed during the course of product crystallization from toluene. Note 2: By H PLC, the reaction was complete after 2 h and the crude mixture contained a -3 : 1 mixture of

1 10a: 1 10b. Note 3: By ¹ H NMR, the material was -75 wt% 1 10a along with 14 wt% dioxane, 2.4 wt% ethyl acetate, 4.5 wt% 1 10b, 2.4 wt% triazole, and 1 .8 wt% p-anisic acid. The improved 1 10a to 1 10b ratio relative to the crude resulted from the insolubility of 1 10b in ethyl acetate. Note 4: If the aqueous pH was reduced further, no triazole would be expected in the ethyl acetate extracts. Note 5: This sample was looked at by ¹H NMR and HPLC and found to be 91 .7 wt% 1 10a, 2.3 wt% 1 10b, 2.2 wt% p-anisic acid, 3 wt% acetic acid, and 0.7 wt% EA. Note 6: This sample was looked at by ¹H NMR and HPLC and found to be -95% 1 10a, 3% 1 10b, and 2% p-anisic acid. Data for 1 10a: ¹H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO) δ 8.06 (s, 2H), 7.77 (d, J = 8.6 Hz, 1 H), 7.21 (d, J = 2.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.16 (dd, J = 8.7, 2.6 Hz, 1 H), 3.88 (s, 3H).

HPLC retention time: 2.141 min. Data for 1 10b: ¹H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 8.46 (d, J = 1 .1 Hz, 1 H), 7.94 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 1 H), 7.87 (d, J = 1 .0 Hz, 1 H), 7.23 (dd, J = 8.8, 2.6 Hz, 1 H), 7.13 (d, J = 2.6 Hz, 1 H), 3.89 (s, 3H). HPLC retention time: 1 .952 min. Data for p-anisic acid: HPLC retention time: 2.23 min. Method B: To a 1 L, 3-necked, round-bottomed flask equipped with an overhead mechanical stirrer, a thermocouple probe, heating mantle, reflux condenser, and nitrogen inlet were added 2-bromo-4-methoxybenzoic acid (25.0 g, 108.2 mmol), copper iodide (0.515 g, 2.71 mmol), and powdered potassium carbonate (29.9 g, 216.4 mmol). To these solids were added acetontirile (400 mL), then water (5.86 mL, 324.6 mmol), and finally 1 H-1 ,2,3- triazole (9.4 mL, 162.3 mmol). The reaction was heated with the heating mantle to an internal temperature of 81 °C and held for 75 min.^{Note 1} More copper iodide (0.515 g, 2.71 mmol) was added and the temperature was held at 81 °C for 4 h.^{Note 2} The reaction was cooled to room temperature and then water (250 mL) was added, and the acetonitrile was removed under vacuum. The pH was then adjusted to < 0 with 6 N HCI (100 mL) (added slowly! some off-gassing), extracted with ethyl acetate (500 mL),^{Note 3} dried over Na₂S0₄, filtered, and concentrated to dryness. The crude sample was taken up in 80 mL of toluene and stirred at 80 °C for ~1 h; the still heterogeneous slurry was then cooled to room temperature and sat at room temperature overnight. The mixture was filtered and washed 2 times with heptanes (50 mL). The filter cake was dried to provide 1 10a as a light tan solid (18.1 g, 76% yield, 96%

purity). ^{Note 4} Note l : By HPLC, no reaction was seen after 75 min; in previous reactions, almost complete conversion was seen at this point. The source of the problem was not clear, but it may have been due to a lack of rigor in the exclusion of air. Copper (II) iodide was not a suitable catalyst for this transformation. Note 2: By HPLC, the reaction was complete after 4 h, and the crude mixture contained a ~6 : 1 mixture of 1 10a : 1 10b. Note 3: The first ethyl acetate extraction contained a 97 : 3 mixture of 1 10a : 1 10b. A second extraction with ethyl acetate (250 mL) contained a -4.5 : 1 mixture of 1 10a : 1 10b and was discarded. Note 4: This final product was assayed by ¹ H NMR and HPLC and found to be -96% 1 10a, 3% 1 10b, and -1 % other minor impurities.

Step 4: (5-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)hexahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrol-2(1 H)- yl)(4-methoxy-2-(2H-1 ,2,3-triazol-2-yl)phenyl)methanone. To a 2 L 3 neck round bottomed flask equipped with a nitrogen line, thermocouple probe, heating mantle, stir bar, and outlet NaOH scrubber were added Intermediate 1 10a (58 g, 264.6 mmol) and toluene (461 mL). Thionyl chloride (28.95 mL, 396.9 mmol, 1 .5 equiv) was then added quickly with no exotherm. The mixture was warmed to 50 °C and held for 30 min. As the temperature approached 50 °C, significant off-gassing was observed. During this time, in a separate 5 L jacketed reactor equipped with mechanical stirrer and temperature probe were added toluene (230 mL), aqueous sodium carbonate (140 g in 1 L water, 1 .323 mol, 5 equiv), and 2-(4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidin-2-yl)-octahydro-pyrrolo[3,4- c]pyrrole^»2HCI (77.06 g, 264.6 mmol). The biphasic mixture was cooled to 3 °C. The original acid chloride solution was then added (some heterogeneity) via pipette to the biphasic amine mixture over 20 min, maintaining an internal temperature of less than 7 °C (jacket set at -10 °C). After the addition, the reaction mixture was warmed to room temp and stirred for 1 h. The two layers were then separated, ^{Note 2} and the organic was dried over MgS0₄, filtered, concentrated, and reconcentrated from ethanol to a foam (108.21 g, 91 .2 wt% Example 477, 8.8 wt% ethanol with trace impurities, 89% yield).^{Note 3}

Note 1 : The 1 10a employed in this reaction was -96 wt% desired with 3 wt% 1 10b and 1 wt% p-anisic acid. Note 2: After the reaction the aqueous layer was enriched in 1 10b, relative to 1 10a. This presumably resulted from the limited solubility of 1 10b in toluene. Note 3: The trace impurities are primarily the expected amide products from 1 10b and p-anisic acid, which are impurities in the starting material. Data for Example 477: ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCI₃) δ 7.73 (s, 2H), 7.50 (d, J = 2.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.32 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, 1 H), 6.94 (dd, J = 8.5, 2.5 Hz, 1 H), 6.29 (s, 1 H), 3.89 (s, 3H), 3.88 - 3.80 (m, 2H), 3.69 (m, 2H), 3.58 (dd, J = 1 1 .6, 5.2 Hz, 1 H), 3.46 (dd, J = 1 1 .6, 4.2 Hz, 1 H), 3.38 - 3.27 (m, 1 H), 3.06 - 2.80 (m, 3H), 2.30 (s, 6H). HPLC retention time: 2.107 min. Trace impurity from amide formation with 1 10b: HPLC retention time: 1 .997 min. Trace impurity from amide formation with p-anisic acid: HPLC retention time: 2.048 min.

To a 3 L, 3 neck, round bottomed flask equipped with temperature probe, overhead mechanical stirrer, and heating mantle was added water (1 L). To this flask was added Example 477 (168.84 g, 402.5 mmol) in warm ethanol (744 mL). Additional water (860 mL) was added and the mixture was warmed to 44 °C. To the nearly homogeneous mixture were added seed crystals of Example 478.^{Note 1} The mixture was then allowed to slowly cool to 35 °C over 3 h and became filled with white solids. The mixture was further cooled to room temperature overnight and then filtered and washed with a 3 : 1 mixture of water : ethanol (800 mL). The resulting filter cake was dried on the filter at room temperature for 8 h to provide Example 478 as a white solid (160.5 g with 7.8 wt% water by TGA, 88%). Note 1 : The seed crystals were formed by slurrying Example 477 of -99% purity in water. The material initially became gooey, but ultimately became crystalline. The crystallinity of the seeds was enhanced through re-slurry in 90% water, 10% ethanol. Data for Example 478: ¹H NMR (500 MHz, MeOD) δ 7.85 (s, 2H), 7.52 (d, J = 2.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.41 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.09 (dd, J = 8.5, 2.5 Hz, 1 H), 6.43 (s, 1 H), 3.91 (s, 3H), 3.82 (dt, J = 12.6, 7.7 Hz, 2H), 3.67 (dd, J = 1 1 .6, 7.1 Hz, 1 H), 3.62 - 3.54 (m, 2H), 3.54 - 3.43 (m, 1 H), 3.48 (dd, J = 1 1 .6, 4.0 Hz, 1 H), 3.15 - 2.90 (m, 3H), 2.31 (s, 6H). Theoretical: C: 58.08%, H: 6.41 %, N: 21 .55% (calculated with 7.82% water as per TGA). Found: C: 58.02%, H: 6.14%, N: 21 .43%

To a 4 mL vial containing 100 mg of Example 477 was added 1 mL of MTBE. The open vial was placed in a 20 mL vial containing 5 mL of heptane. The larger vial was sealed and vapour diffusion allowed to proceed over several weeks. Upon later re-inspection of the smaller vial, crystalline anhydrous Example 469 was found.

To a 20 mL vial equipped with stir bar, septum cap, and nitrogen inlet, were added Example 467 (1 g, 2.38 mmol), ethyl acetate (10 mL) and 6 M HCI_(aQ) (397 μΐ, 2.38 mmol). The heterogeneous mixture was warmed to 80 °C and ethanol (1 .6 mL) was added until homogeneous. The solution was cooled to 60 °C and seeded. ^{Note 1} The mixture was then cooled to 40 °C and held for 1 h and then cooled to room temperature. The resulting slurry was filtered and washed with ethyl acetate (2 mL). After drying in a vacuum oven at room temperature, the product was isolated as a white solid (815 mg, 72%).

Note 1 : The initial seed crystals were formed by slurrying Example 467^»HCI in a mixture of ethyl acetate (primary component), ethanol, and water. The oily product became crystalline over several days.

To a 3 L round-bottomed flask equipped with overhead mechanical stirrer, temperature probe, heating mantle, and reflux condenser were added Example 467 (1 15 g, 274 mmol) and ethanol (230 mL). 48% HBr aqueous solution (31 .8 mL, 274 mmol) was then added at room temperature. The solution was warmed to 60 °C and ethyl acetate (1 .15 L) was added. Toward the end of the addition, the mixture became very cloudy. The mixture was warmed to 73 °C for 30 min during which time it became homogeneous. The solution was then cooled to 50 °C and seeded. ^{Note 1} The seeds did not go into solution, but no major crystallization event was observed. The mixture was further cooled to 40 °C and held for >1 h and then cooled to 38 °C, at which point additional crystallization was observed. Cooled to room temperature overnight. The slurry was then filtered, and washed with 200 mL of ethyl acetate to provide the title compound as a white solid (1 19.97 g, 84%).

The reaction was treated with Pd(PPh₃)₄ and then purged with bubbling for 5 minutes in a sealed vessel and then heated to 160 C in microwave for 90 min. Reaction was filtered through celite, concentrated and purified on 16 g Si0₂ with 0-3.5 % NH₃ MeOH / CH₂CI₂.

Human orexin 1 receptor radioligand binding studies

Chinese ovary cells (CHO) stably expressing human orexin 1 receptor

(Genebank accession number NM_001526) were grown to confluency in DMEM/F12 (Gibco, Cat #1 1039), 10%FBS, 1 X Pen/Strep, 600 μg/mL G418 media on 150 cm² tissue culture plates, washed with 5 mM EDTA in PBS (HyClone Dulbecco's Phoshpate Buffered Saline I X with Calcium and

Magnesium, Cat # SH30264.01 , hereafter referred to simply as PBS) and scraped into 50 ml tubes. After centrifugation (2K xG, 10 min at 4°C), the supernatant was aspirated and the pellets frozen and stored at -80°C. Cells were resuspended in PBS in the presence of 1 tablet of protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, Cat. #1 1836145001 ) per 50 mL. Each cell pellet from a 15 cm plate was resuspended in 10 mL, stored on ice, and vortexed for 45 sec prior to addition to the reactions. Competition binding experiments in 96 well polypropylene plates were performed using [³H]-SB674042 (Moravek

Corporation, specific activity = 35.3 Ci/mmol), diluted to a 10 nM concentration in PBS (4 nM final). Compounds were solubilized in 100% DMSO (Acros Organics, Cat. #61042-1000) and tested over a range of 7 concentrations (from 0.1 nM to 10 μΜ). The final concentration of DMSO in the reactions is equal to or less than 0.1 %. Total and nonspecific binding was determined in the absence and presence of 10 μΜ (1 -(6,8-difluoro-2-methylquinolin-4-yl)-3-[4- (dimethylamino)phenyl]urea, CAS Registry # 288150-92-5). The total volume of each reaction is 200 μΙ_ (20 μΙ_ of diluted compounds, 80 μΙ_ of [³H]-

SB674042 diluted in PBS and 100 μΙ_ of the cell suspension). Reactions were run for 60 min at room temperature and terminated by filtration through GF/C filter plates (PerkinElmer, Cat. #6005174) presoaked in 0.3% polyethylenimine using the cell harvester (PerkinElmer Filtermate). The plates were washed 3 times by aspirating 30 ml PBS through the plates. Plates were dried in 55°C oven for 60 min, scintillation fluid was added, and the radioactivity was counted on a Topcount (Packard).

IC₅o values (i.e. concentration of unlabelled compound required to compete for 50% of specific binding to the radioligand) were calculated using the GraphPad Prism software (GraphPad Prism Software Inc., San Diego, CA) with a fit to a sigmoidal dose-response curve. Apparent K, values were calculated as K, = IC5o/(1 +C/K_d), where C is concentration of radioligand and K_d = 4 nM.
