Definitions

  • Orexin receptor antagonists which are ⁇ ortho bi-(hetero-)aryl1-r2-(f77ete bi-(hetero-)aryl)- pyrrolidin-1 -yll-methanone derivatives
  • the present invention relates to novel [ortho bi-(hetero-)aryl]-[2-(mefa bi-(hetero-)aryl)- pyrrolidin-1 -yl]-methanone derivatives and their use as pharmaceuticals.
  • the invention also concerns related aspects including processes for the preparation of the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more compounds of formula (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V) or (VI) and especially their use as orexin receptor antagonists.
  • Orexins are neuropeptides found in 1998 by two research groups, orexin A is a 33 amino acid peptide and orexin B is a 28 amino acid peptide (Sakurai T. et al., Cell, 1998, 92, 573-585). Orexins are produced in discrete neurons of the lateral hypothalamus and bind to the G-protein-coupled receptors (OXi and OX 2 receptors).
  • the orexin-1 receptor (OX-i) is selective for OX-A
  • the orexin-2 receptor (OX 2 ) is capable to bind OX-A as well as OX-B.
  • Orexin receptor antagonists are a novel type of nervous system or psychotropic drugs. Their mode of action in animals and humans involves either blockade of both orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptor (dual antagonists), or individual and selective blockade of either the orexin-1 or the orexin-2 receptor (selective antagonists) in the brain. Orexins were initially found to stimulate food consumption in rats suggesting a physiological role for these peptides as mediators in the central feedback mechanism that regulates feeding behaviour (Sakurai T. et al., Cell, 1998, 92, 573-585).
  • orexin neuropeptides and orexin receptors play an essential and central role in regulating circadian vigilance states.
  • orexin neurons collect sensory input about internal and external states and send short intrahypothalamic axonal projections as well as long projections to many other brain regions.
  • the particular distribution of orexin fibers and receptors in basal forebrain, limbic structures and brainstem regions - areas related to the regulation of waking, sleep and emotional reactivity- suggests that orexins exert essential functions as regulators of behavioral arousal; by activating wake-promoting cell firing, orexins contribute to orchestrate all brain arousal systems that regulate circadian activity, energy balance and emotional reactivity.
  • Human memory is comprised of multiple systems that have different operating principles and different underlying neuronal substrates. The major distinction is between the capacity for conscious, declarative memory and a set of unconscious, non-declarative memory abilities. Declarative memory is further subdivided into semantic and episodic memory. Non-declariative memory is further subdivided into priming and perceptual learning, procedural memory for skills and habits, associative and non-associative learning, and some others. While semantic memory refers to the general knowledge about the world, episodic memory is autobiographical memory of events. Procedural memories refer to the ability to perform skill-based operations, as e.g. motor skills.
  • Long-term memory is established during a multiple stage process through gradual changes involving diverse brain structures, beginning with learning, or memory acquisition, or formation. Subsequently, consolidation of what has been learned may stabilize memories. When long-term memories are retrieved, they may return to a labile state in which original content may be updated, modulated or disrupted. Subsequently, reconsolidation may again stabilize memories. At a late stage, long-term memory may be resistant to disruption. Long-term memory is conceptually and anatomically different from working memory, the latter of which is the capacity to maintain temporarily a limited amount of information in mind. Behavioural research has suggested that the human brain consolidates long-term memory at certain key time intervals.
  • the initial phase of memory consolidation may occur in the first few minutes after we are exposed to a new idea or learning experience.
  • the next, and possibly most important phase may occur over a longer period of time, such as during sleep; in fact, certain consolidation processes have been suggested to be sleep-dependent [R. Stickgold et al., Sleep-dependent memory consolidation; Nature 2005,437, 1272-1278].
  • Learning and memory processes are believed to be fundamentally affected in a variety of neurological and mental disorders, such as e.g. mental retardation, Alzheimer's disease or depression. Indeed, memory loss or impairment of memory acquisition is a significant feature of such diseases, and no effective therapy to prevent this detrimental process has emerged yet.
  • Orexin-1 receptor antagonism also attenuated the expression of amphetamine- and cocaine-induced CPP [Gozzi A et al., PLoS One 2011 , 6(1 ), e16406; Hutcheson DM et al., Behav Pharmacol 2011 , 22(2), 173-181 ], and reduced the expression or development of locomotor sensitization to amphetamine and cocaine [Borgland SL et al., Neuron 2006, 49(4), 589-601 ; Quarta D et al., "The orexin-1 receptor antagonist SB-334867 reduces amphetamine-evoked dopamine outflow in the shell of the nucleus accumbens and decreases the expression of amphetamine sensitization.” Neurochem Int 2010, 56(1 ), 1 1-15].
  • hypocretin/orexin contributes to the expression of some but not all forms of stress and arousal [Furlong T M et al., Eur J Neurosci 2009, 30(8), 1603-1614]. Stress response may lead to dramatic, usually time-limited physiological, psychological and behavioural changes that may affect appetite, metabolism and feeding behavior [Chrousos, GP et al., JAMA 1992, 267(9), 1244-1252].
  • the acute stress response may include behavioural, autonomic and endocrinological changes, such as promoting heightened vigilance, decreased libido, increased heart rate and blood pressure, or a redirection of blood flow to fuel the muscles, heart and the brain [Majzoub, JA et al., European Journal of Endocrinology 2006, 155 (suppl_1 ) S71-S76].
  • Orexins are also involved in mediating the acute behavioral and autonomous nervous system response to stress [Zhang Wet al., "Multiple components of the defense response depend on orexin: evidence from orexin knockout mice and orexin neuron-ablated mice.” Auton Neurosci 2006, 126-127, 139-145].
  • Mood disorders including all types of depression and bipolar disorder are characterized by disturbed "mood” and feelings, as well as by sleeping problems (insomnia as well as hypersomnia), changes in appetite or weight and reduced pleasure and loss of interest in daily or once enjoyed activities [Liu X et al., Sleep 2007, 30(1 ): 83-90].
  • disturbances in the orexin system may contribute to the symptoms of mood disorders.
  • the orexin system is also involved in stress-related appetitive/reward seeking behaviour (Berridge CW et al., Brain Res 2009, 1314, 91-102).
  • a modulatory effect on stress may be complementary to an effect on appetitive/reward seeking behaviour as such.
  • an OXi selective orexin receptor antagonist was able to prevent footshock stress induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking behaviour [Boutrel, B et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci 2005, 102(52), 19168-19173].
  • stress is also known to play an integral part in withdrawal which occurs during cessation of drug taking (Koob, GF et al., Curr Opin Investig Drugs 2010, 1 1 (1 ), 63-71 ).
  • Orexins have been found to increase food intake and appetite [Tsujino, N, Sakurai, T, Pharmacol Rev 2009, 61 (2) 162-176]. As an additional environmental factor, stress can contribute to binge eating behaviour, and lead to obesity [Adam, TC et al. Physiol ehav 2007, 91 (4) 449-458]. Animal models that are clinically relevant models of binge eating in humans are described for example in W. Foulds Mathes et al.; Appetite 2009, 52, 545-553.
  • orexins may play a role into several other important functions relating to arousal, especially when an organism must respond to unexpected stressors and challenges in the environment [Tsujino N and Sakurai T. Pharmacol Rev. 2009, 61 :162-176; Carter ME, Borg JS and deLecea L, Curr Op Pharmacol. 2009, 9: 39-45; C Boss, C Brisbare-Roch, F Jenck, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2009, 52: 891-903].
  • the orexin system interacts with neural networks that regulate emotion, reward and energy homeostasis to maintain proper vigilance states. Dysfunctions in its function may thus relate to many mental health disorders in which vigilance, arousal, wakefulness or attention is disturbed.
  • the compound further attenuated cardiovascular responses to conditioned fear and novelty exposure in rats [Furlong T M et al., Eur J Neurosci 2009, 30(8), 1603-1614]. It is also active in an animal model of conditioned fear: the rat fear-potentiated startle paradigm (WO2009/047723) which relates to emotional states of fear and anxiety diseases such as anxieties including phobias and post traumatic stress disorders (PTSDs).
  • WO2009/047723 relates to emotional states of fear and anxiety diseases such as anxieties including phobias and post traumatic stress disorders (PTSDs).
  • PTSDs post traumatic stress disorders
  • intact declarative and non-declarative learning and memory has been demonstrated in rats treated with this compound [WO2007/105177, H Dietrich, F Jenck, Psychopharmacology 2010, 212, 145-154].
  • Said compound furthermore decreased brain levels of amyloid-beta ( ⁇ ) as well as ⁇ plaque deposition after acute sleep restriction in amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice [JE Kang et al., "Amyloid-beta dynamics are regulated by orexin and the sleep-wake cycle.”, Science 2009, 326(5955): 1005-1007].
  • ⁇ amyloid-beta
  • the accumulation of the ⁇ in the brain extracellular space is hypothesized to be a critical event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.
  • the so-called and generally known "amyloid cascade hypothesis” links ⁇ to Alzheimer's disease and, thus, to the cognitive dysfunction, expressed as impairment of learning and memory.
  • the compound has also been shown to induce antidepressant-like activity in a mouse model of depression, when administered chronically [Nollet et al., NeuroPharm 2011 , 61 (1 -2):336-46]. Moreover, the compound has been shown to attenuate the natural activation induced by orexin A in fasted hungry rats exposed to food odors [MJ Prud'Neill et al., Neuroscience 2009, 162(4), 1287-1298]. The compound also displayed pharmacological activity in a rat model of nicotine self-administration [LeSage MG et al., Psychopharmacology 2010, 209(2), 203-212].
  • N-Biphenyl-2-yl-1 - ⁇ [(1 -methyl-1 H-benzimidazol- 2-yl)sulfanyl]acetyl ⁇ -L-prolinamide another dual orexin receptor antagonist, inhibited nicotine- reinstatement for a conditioned reinforcer and reduced behavioral (locomotor sensitization) and molecular (transcriptional responses) changes induced by repeated amphetamine administration in rodents [Winrow et al., Neuropharmacology 2009, 58(1 ), 185-94].
  • US 7, 105,538 discloses certain [1 ,3,4]oxadiazol-2,5-diyl compounds including two exemplified [3-phenyl-5-methyl-isoxazol-4-yl]-[2-(5-pyridyl-[1 ,3,4]oxadiazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidin-1 -yl]-methanone derivatives (CAS registry no. 1082288-15-0, 1082288-80-9) and their use as anti-depressants.
  • the compounds are claimed to inhibit serotonin re-uptake and, thus, to have a pronounced anti-depressive and analgesic effect. It has been found that tested [3-phenyl-5-methyl-isoxazol- 4-yl]-[pyrrolidin-1-yl]-methanone derivatives showed low or no activity within the limits of detection on the orexin receptors.
  • WO2006/123249, WO2005/044797, and WO2007/039781 disclose metabotropic glutamate (especially mGluR5) receptor modulators and, thus, to be useful for example for the treatment of anxiety disorders or depression.
  • Some compounds exemplified in WO2007/039781 comprise a 2-substituted pyrrolidine moiety, however, these compounds do not comprise an ortho bi- (hetero-)aryl group corresponding to the present group A-i attached to the carbonyl group of the pyrrolidine-amide.

Description

Orexin receptor antagonists which are \ortho bi-(hetero-)aryl1-r2-(f77ete bi-(hetero-)aryl)- pyrrolidin-1 -yll-methanone derivatives
The present invention relates to novel [ortho bi-(hetero-)aryl]-[2-(mefa bi-(hetero-)aryl)- pyrrolidin-1 -yl]-methanone derivatives and their use as pharmaceuticals. The invention also concerns related aspects including processes for the preparation of the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more compounds of formula (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V) or (VI) and especially their use as orexin receptor antagonists.
Orexins (orexin A or OX-A and orexin B or OX-B) are neuropeptides found in 1998 by two research groups, orexin A is a 33 amino acid peptide and orexin B is a 28 amino acid peptide (Sakurai T. et al., Cell, 1998, 92, 573-585). Orexins are produced in discrete neurons of the lateral hypothalamus and bind to the G-protein-coupled receptors (OXi and OX2 receptors). The orexin-1 receptor (OX-i) is selective for OX-A, and the orexin-2 receptor (OX2) is capable to bind OX-A as well as OX-B. Orexin receptor antagonists are a novel type of nervous system or psychotropic drugs. Their mode of action in animals and humans involves either blockade of both orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptor (dual antagonists), or individual and selective blockade of either the orexin-1 or the orexin-2 receptor (selective antagonists) in the brain. Orexins were initially found to stimulate food consumption in rats suggesting a physiological role for these peptides as mediators in the central feedback mechanism that regulates feeding behaviour (Sakurai T. et al., Cell, 1998, 92, 573-585).
On the other hand, orexin neuropeptides and orexin receptors play an essential and central role in regulating circadian vigilance states. In the brain, orexin neurons collect sensory input about internal and external states and send short intrahypothalamic axonal projections as well as long projections to many other brain regions. The particular distribution of orexin fibers and receptors in basal forebrain, limbic structures and brainstem regions - areas related to the regulation of waking, sleep and emotional reactivity- suggests that orexins exert essential functions as regulators of behavioral arousal; by activating wake-promoting cell firing, orexins contribute to orchestrate all brain arousal systems that regulate circadian activity, energy balance and emotional reactivity. This role opens large therapeutic opportunities for medically addressing numerous mental health disorders possibly relating to orexinergic dysfunctions [see for example: Tsujino N and Sakurai T, "Orexin/hypocretin: a neuropeptide at the interface of sleep, energy homeostasis, and reward systems.", Pharmacol Rev. 2009, 61 :162-176; and Carter ME et al., "The brain hypocretins and their receptors: mediators of allostatic arousal.", Curr Op Pharmacol. 2009, 9: 39-45] that are described in the following sections. It was also observed that orexins regulate states of sleep and wakefulness opening potentially novel therapeutic approaches to insomnia and other sleep disorders (Chemelli R.M. et al., Cell, 1999, 98, 437-451 ). Human memory is comprised of multiple systems that have different operating principles and different underlying neuronal substrates. The major distinction is between the capacity for conscious, declarative memory and a set of unconscious, non-declarative memory abilities. Declarative memory is further subdivided into semantic and episodic memory. Non-declariative memory is further subdivided into priming and perceptual learning, procedural memory for skills and habits, associative and non-associative learning, and some others. While semantic memory refers to the general knowledge about the world, episodic memory is autobiographical memory of events. Procedural memories refer to the ability to perform skill-based operations, as e.g. motor skills. Long-term memory is established during a multiple stage process through gradual changes involving diverse brain structures, beginning with learning, or memory acquisition, or formation. Subsequently, consolidation of what has been learned may stabilize memories. When long-term memories are retrieved, they may return to a labile state in which original content may be updated, modulated or disrupted. Subsequently, reconsolidation may again stabilize memories. At a late stage, long-term memory may be resistant to disruption. Long-term memory is conceptually and anatomically different from working memory, the latter of which is the capacity to maintain temporarily a limited amount of information in mind. Behavioural research has suggested that the human brain consolidates long-term memory at certain key time intervals. The initial phase of memory consolidation may occur in the first few minutes after we are exposed to a new idea or learning experience. The next, and possibly most important phase, may occur over a longer period of time, such as during sleep; in fact, certain consolidation processes have been suggested to be sleep-dependent [R. Stickgold et al., Sleep-dependent memory consolidation; Nature 2005,437, 1272-1278]. Learning and memory processes are believed to be fundamentally affected in a variety of neurological and mental disorders, such as e.g. mental retardation, Alzheimer's disease or depression. Indeed, memory loss or impairment of memory acquisition is a significant feature of such diseases, and no effective therapy to prevent this detrimental process has emerged yet.
In addition, both anatomical and functional evidence from in vitro and in vivo studies suggest an important positive interaction of the endogenous orexin system with reward pathways of the brain [Aston-Jones G et al., Brain Res 2010, 1314, 74-90; Sharf R et al., Brain Res 2010, 1314, 130-138]. Selective pharmacological OXR-1 blockade reduced cue- and stress-induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking [Boutrel B, et al., "Role for hypocretin in mediating stress- induced reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior."

Eur J Neurosci 2009, 30(3), 493-503; Smith RJ et al., "Orexin/hypocretin is necessary for context-driven cocaine-seeking." Neuropharmacology 2010, 58(1 ), 179-184], cue-induced reinstatement of alcohol seeking [Lawrence AJ et al., Br J Pharmacol 2006, 148(6), 752-759] and nicotine self-administration [Hollander JA et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci 2008, 105(49), 19480-19485; LeSage MG et al., Psychopharmacology 2010, 209(2), 203-212]. Orexin-1 receptor antagonism also attenuated the expression of amphetamine- and cocaine-induced CPP [Gozzi A et al., PLoS One 2011 , 6(1 ), e16406; Hutcheson DM et al., Behav Pharmacol 2011 , 22(2), 173-181 ], and reduced the expression or development of locomotor sensitization to amphetamine and cocaine [Borgland SL et al., Neuron 2006, 49(4), 589-601 ; Quarta D et al., "The orexin-1 receptor antagonist SB-334867 reduces amphetamine-evoked dopamine outflow in the shell of the nucleus accumbens and decreases the expression of amphetamine sensitization." Neurochem Int 2010, 56(1 ), 1 1-15].
The effect of a drug to diminish addictions may be modelled in normal or particularly sensitive mammals used as animal models [see for example Spealman et al, Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav. 1999, 64, 327-336; or T.S. Shippenberg, G.F. Koob, "Recent advances in animal models of drug addiction" in Neuropsychopharmacology: The fifth generation of progress; K.L.Davis, D. Charney, J.T.Doyle, C. Nemeroff (eds.) 2002; chapter 97, pages 1381 -1397].
Several converging lines of evidence furthermore demonstrate a direct role of the orexin system as modulator of the acute stress response. For instance, stress (i.e. psychological stress or physical stress) is associated with increased arousal and vigilance which in turn is controlled by orexins [Sutcliffe, JG et al., Nat Rev Neurosci 2002, 3(5), 339-349]. Orexin neurons are likely to be involved in the coordinated regulation of behavioral and physiological responses in stressful environments [Y. Kayaba et al., Am. J. Physiol. Regul. Integr. Comp. Physiol. 2003, 285:R581 -593]. Hypocretin/orexin contributes to the expression of some but not all forms of stress and arousal [Furlong T M et al., Eur J Neurosci 2009, 30(8), 1603-1614]. Stress response may lead to dramatic, usually time-limited physiological, psychological and behavioural changes that may affect appetite, metabolism and feeding behavior [Chrousos, GP et al., JAMA 1992, 267(9), 1244-1252]. The acute stress response may include behavioural, autonomic and endocrinological changes, such as promoting heightened vigilance, decreased libido, increased heart rate and blood pressure, or a redirection of blood flow to fuel the muscles, heart and the brain [Majzoub, JA et al., European Journal of Endocrinology 2006, 155 (suppl_1 ) S71-S76].
As outlined above the orexin system regulates homeostatic functions such as sleep-wake cycle, energy balance, emotions and reward. Orexins are also involved in mediating the acute behavioral and autonomous nervous system response to stress [Zhang Wet al., "Multiple components of the defense response depend on orexin: evidence from orexin knockout mice and orexin neuron-ablated mice." Auton Neurosci 2006, 126-127, 139-145]. Mood disorders including all types of depression and bipolar disorder are characterized by disturbed "mood" and feelings, as well as by sleeping problems (insomnia as well as hypersomnia), changes in appetite or weight and reduced pleasure and loss of interest in daily or once enjoyed activities [Liu X et al., Sleep 2007, 30(1 ): 83-90]. Thus, there is a strong rationale that disturbances in the orexin system may contribute to the symptoms of mood disorders. Evidence in humans, for instance, exists that depressed patients show blunted diurnal variation in CSF orexin levels [Salomon RM et al., Biol Psychiatry 2003, 54(2), 96-104]. In rodent models of depression, orexins were also shown to be involved. Pharmacological induction of a depressive behavioral state in rats, for instance, revealed an association with increased hypothalamic orexin levels [Feng P et al., J Psychopharmacol 2008, 22(7): 784-791 ]. A chronic stress model of depression in mice also demonstrated an association of molecular orexin system disturbances with depressed behavioral states and a reversal of these molecular changes by antidepressant treatment [Nollet et al., NeuroPharm 2011 , 61 (1-2):336-46].
The orexin system is also involved in stress-related appetitive/reward seeking behaviour (Berridge CW et al., Brain Res 2009, 1314, 91-102). In certain instances, a modulatory effect on stress may be complementary to an effect on appetitive/reward seeking behaviour as such. For instance, an OXi selective orexin receptor antagonist was able to prevent footshock stress induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking behaviour [Boutrel, B et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci 2005, 102(52), 19168-19173]. In addition, stress is also known to play an integral part in withdrawal which occurs during cessation of drug taking (Koob, GF et al., Curr Opin Investig Drugs 2010, 1 1 (1 ), 63-71 ).
Orexins have been found to increase food intake and appetite [Tsujino, N, Sakurai, T, Pharmacol Rev 2009, 61 (2) 162-176]. As an additional environmental factor, stress can contribute to binge eating behaviour, and lead to obesity [Adam, TC et al. Physiol ehav 2007, 91 (4) 449-458]. Animal models that are clinically relevant models of binge eating in humans are described for example in W. Foulds Mathes et al.; Appetite 2009, 52, 545-553.
A number of recent studies report that orexins may play a role into several other important functions relating to arousal, especially when an organism must respond to unexpected stressors and challenges in the environment [Tsujino N and Sakurai T. Pharmacol Rev. 2009, 61 :162-176; Carter ME, Borg JS and deLecea L, Curr Op Pharmacol. 2009, 9: 39-45; C Boss, C Brisbare-Roch, F Jenck, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2009, 52: 891-903]. The orexin system interacts with neural networks that regulate emotion, reward and energy homeostasis to maintain proper vigilance states. Dysfunctions in its function may thus relate to many mental health disorders in which vigilance, arousal, wakefulness or attention is disturbed.
The compound (2R)-2-{(1 S)-6,7-dimethoxy-1-[2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-ethyl]-3,4-dihydro- 1 H-isoquinolin-2-yl}-/V-methyl-2-phenyl-acetamide (WO2005/1 18548), a dual orexin receptor antagonist, showed clinical efficacy in humans when tested for the indication primary insomnia. In the rat, the compound has been shown to decrease alertness, characterized by decreases in both active wake and locomotion; and to dose-dependently increase the time spent in both REM and NREM sleep [Brisbare et al., Nature Medicine 2007, 13, 150-155]. The compound further attenuated cardiovascular responses to conditioned fear and novelty exposure in rats [Furlong T M et al., Eur J Neurosci 2009, 30(8), 1603-1614]. It is also active in an animal model of conditioned fear: the rat fear-potentiated startle paradigm (WO2009/047723) which relates to emotional states of fear and anxiety diseases such as anxieties including phobias and post traumatic stress disorders (PTSDs). In addition, intact declarative and non-declarative learning and memory has been demonstrated in rats treated with this compound [WO2007/105177, H Dietrich, F Jenck, Psychopharmacology 2010, 212, 145-154]. Said compound furthermore decreased brain levels of amyloid-beta (Αβ) as well as Αβ plaque deposition after acute sleep restriction in amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice [JE Kang et al., "Amyloid-beta dynamics are regulated by orexin and the sleep-wake cycle.", Science 2009, 326(5955): 1005-1007]. The accumulation of the Αβ in the brain extracellular space is hypothesized to be a critical event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. The so-called and generally known "amyloid cascade hypothesis" links Αβ to Alzheimer's disease and, thus, to the cognitive dysfunction, expressed as impairment of learning and memory. The compound has also been shown to induce antidepressant-like activity in a mouse model of depression, when administered chronically [Nollet et al., NeuroPharm 2011 , 61 (1 -2):336-46]. Moreover, the compound has been shown to attenuate the natural activation induced by orexin A in fasted hungry rats exposed to food odors [MJ Prud'homme et al., Neuroscience 2009, 162(4), 1287-1298]. The compound also displayed pharmacological activity in a rat model of nicotine self-administration [LeSage MG et al., Psychopharmacology 2010, 209(2), 203-212]. N-Biphenyl-2-yl-1 -{[(1 -methyl-1 H-benzimidazol- 2-yl)sulfanyl]acetyl}-L-prolinamide, another dual orexin receptor antagonist, inhibited nicotine- reinstatement for a conditioned reinforcer and reduced behavioral (locomotor sensitization) and molecular (transcriptional responses) changes induced by repeated amphetamine administration in rodents [Winrow et al., Neuropharmacology 2009, 58(1 ), 185-94].
US 7, 105,538 discloses certain [1 ,3,4]oxadiazol-2,5-diyl compounds including two exemplified [3-phenyl-5-methyl-isoxazol-4-yl]-[2-(5-pyridyl-[1 ,3,4]oxadiazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidin-1 -yl]-methanone derivatives (CAS registry no. 1082288-15-0, 1082288-80-9) and their use as anti-depressants. The compounds are claimed to inhibit serotonin re-uptake and, thus, to have a pronounced anti-depressive and analgesic effect. It has been found that tested [3-phenyl-5-methyl-isoxazol- 4-yl]-[pyrrolidin-1-yl]-methanone derivatives showed low or no activity within the limits of detection on the orexin receptors.
WO2006/123249, WO2005/044797, and WO2007/039781 disclose metabotropic glutamate (especially mGluR5) receptor modulators and, thus, to be useful for example for the treatment of anxiety disorders or depression. Some compounds exemplified in WO2007/039781 comprise a 2-substituted pyrrolidine moiety, however, these compounds do not comprise an ortho bi- (hetero-)aryl group corresponding to the present group A-i attached to the carbonyl group of the pyrrolidine-amide. Six example or analogue compounds of WO2007/039781 have been tested for their activity on the orexin receptors and showed low or no activity within the limits of detection.
Orexin receptor antagonists comprising a 2-substituted saturated cyclic amide derivatives (such as 2-substituted pyrrolidine-1-carboxamides) are known for example from WO2008/020405, WO2008/038251 , WO2008/081399, WO2008/08761 1 , WO2008/1 17241 , WO2008/139416, WO2009/004584, WO2009/016560, WO2009/016564, WO2009/040730, WO2009/104155, WO2010/004507, WO2010/038200, WO2001/096302, WO2002/044172, WO2002/089800, WO2002/090355, WO2003/002561 , WO2003/032991 , WO2003/04171 1 , WO2003/051368, WO2003/051873, WO2004/026866, WO2004/041791 , WO2004/041807, WO2004/041816, WO2009/003993, WO2009/003997, WO2009/124956, WO2010/060470, WO2010/060471 , WO2010/060472, WO2010/063662, WO2010/063663, WO2010/072722, WO2010/122151 , and WO2008/150364. WO2003/002559 discloses certain N-aroyl cyclic amine derivatives encompassing pyrrolidine, piperidine and morpholine derivatives as orexin receptor antagonists. Despite the great number of prior art compounds and their high structural variability, all compounds share a common structural feature, i.e. in position 2 of the saturated cyclic amide a linker group such as at least a methylene group (or longer groups such as -CH2-NH-CO-, -CH2-NH-, -CH2-O-, -CH2-S-, etc.) link the cyclic amide to the respective aromatic ring system substituent. A particular 2-substituted pyrrolidine derived compound where the pyrrolidine is linked through a methylene group to an [1 ,3,4]oxadiazole ring: 1-(5-(2- fluoro-phenyl)-2-methyl-thiazol-4-yl)-1-[(S)-2-(5-phenyl-[1 ,3,4]oxadiazol-2-ylmethyl)-pyrrolidin-1 - yl)-methanone is exemplified in WO2003/002559 and further characterized in Langmead et. al, Brit. J. Pharmacol. 2004, 141 , 340-346 as being highly orexin-1 selective. It has now surprisingly been found that, despite the substantial conformational and, thus, pharmacological changes that may be expected from the removal of a linker between two rigid structural elements, the present compounds, that have an aromatic ring system directly attached to a pyrrolidine amide in position 2, are orexin receptor antagonists which may be active on both orexin receptors.

In a sub-embodiment of embodiment 58), a particular compound according to embodiment 1 ) is (4-Chloro-2-[1 ,2,3]triazol-2-yl-phenyl)-{(S)-2-methyl-2-[5-(2-trifluoromethoxy-ph
1-yl}-methanone.
The compounds of formulae (I), (I I), (I I I), (IV), (V) and (VI) contain at least one stereogenic center which is situated in position 2 of the pyrrolidine moiety. It is understood that the absolute configuration of said chiral center is as depicted in formulae (I), (I I), (I II), (IV), (V) and (VI), i.e. it is in absolute (S) configuration. In addition, the compounds of formula (I) and (I I) may contain one or more further stereogenic or asymmetric centers, such as one or more asymmetric carbon atoms. The compounds of formulae (I), (II), (I I I), (IV), (V) and (VI) may thus be present as mixtures of stereoisomers or preferably as pure stereoisomers. Mixtures of stereoisomers may be separated in a manner known to a person skilled in the art.
In some instances, the compounds of formulae (I), (I I), (I I I), (IV), (V) and (VI) may contain tautomeric forms. Such tautomeric forms are encompassed in the scope of the present invention. For example, in case the present compounds contain heteroaromatic aromatic rings containing unsubstituted ring nitrogen atoms having a free valency such as imidazol-2,4-diyl, or [1 ,2,4]-triazol-3,5-diyl, such rings may be present in tautomeric forms. For example, the group imidazol-2,4-diyl represents the tautomeric forms 1 H-imidazol-2,4-diyl and 3H-imidazol-2,4-diyl; and the group [1 ,2,4]triazol-3,5-diyl represents the tautomeric forms 1 H-[1 ,2,4]triazol-3,5-diyl, 2H-[1 ,2,4]triazol-3,5-diyl and 4H-[1 ,2,4]triazol-3,5-diyl.
The present invention also includes isotopically labelled, especially 2H (deuterium) labelled compounds of formula (I), which compounds are identical to the compounds of formula (I) except that one or more atoms have each been replaced by an atom having the same atomic number but an atomic mass different from the atomic mass usually found in nature. Isotopically labelled, especially 2H (deuterium) labelled compounds of formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V) and (VI) and salts thereof are within the scope of the present invention. Substitution of hydrogen with the heavier isotope 2H (deuterium) may lead to greater metabolic stability, resulting e.g. in increased in-vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, or may lead to reduced inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes, resulting e.g. in an improved safety profile. In one embodiment of the invention, the compounds of formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V) and (VI) are not isotopically labelled, or they are labelled only with one or more deuterium atoms. In a sub-embodiment, the compounds of formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V) and (VI) are not isotopically labelled at all. Isotopically labelled compounds of formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V) and (VI) may be prepared in analogy to the methods described hereinafter, but using the appropriate isotopic variation of suitable reagents or starting materials.

Where the plural form is used for compounds, salts, pharmaceutical compositions, diseases and the like, this is intended to mean also a single compound, salt, or the like.
Any reference to compounds of formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V) and (VI) as defined in any one of embodiments 1 ) to 58) is to be understood as referring also to the salts (and especially the pharmaceutically acceptable salts) of such compounds, as appropriate and expedient.
The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to non-toxic, inorg. or organic acid and/or base addition salts. Reference can be made to "Salt selection for basic drugs", Int. J. Pharm. (1986), 33, 201 -217.
Definitions provided herein are intended to apply uniformly to the compounds of formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V) and (VI) as defined in any one of embodiments 1 ) to 53), and, mutatis mutandis, throughout the description and the claims unless an otherwise expressly set out definition provides a broader or narrower definition. It is well understood that a definition or preferred definition of a term defines and may replace the respective term independently of (and in combination with) any definition or preferred definition of any or all other terms as defined herein.
The term "halogen" means fluorine, chlorine, or bromine, preferably fluorine or chlorine.
The term "alkyl", used alone or in combination, refers to a saturated straight or branched chain alkyl group containing one to six carbon atoms. The term "(Cx-y)alkyl" (x and y each being an integer), refers to an alkyl group as defined before, containing x to y carbon atoms. For example a (Ci-4)alkyl group contains from one to four carbon atoms. Examples of alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl and tert.-butyl. Preferred are methyl and ethyl. Most preferred is methyl.
The term "cycloalkyl", used alone or in combination, refers to a saturated cyclic alkyl group containing three to six carbon atoms. The term "(Cx-y)cycloalkyl" (x and y each being an integer), refers to a cycloalkyl group as defined before containing x to y carbon atoms. For example a (C3-6)cycloalkyl group contains from three to six carbon atoms. Examples of cycloalkyl groups are cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl. Preferred is cyclopropyl.
The term "alkoxy", used alone or in combination, refers to an alkyl-O- group wherein the alkyl group is as defined before. The term "(Cx-y)alkoxy" (x and y each being an integer) refers to an alkoxy group as defined before containing x to y carbon atoms. For example a (Ci-4)alkoxy group means a group of the formula (Ci-4)alkyl-0- in which the term "(Ci-4)alkyl" has the previously given significance. Examples of alkoxy groups are methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, isopropoxy, n-butoxy, isobutoxy, sec.-butoxy and tert.-butoxy. Preferred are ethoxy and methoxy.
The term "fluoroalkyl" refers to an alkyl group as defined before containing one to three carbon atoms in which one or more (and possibly all) hydrogen atoms have been replaced with fluorine. The term "(Cx-y)fluoroalkyl" (x and y each being an integer) refers to a fluoroalkyl group as defined before containing x to y carbon atoms. For example a (Ci-3)fluoroalkyl group contains from one to three carbon atoms in which one to seven hydrogen atoms have been replaced with fluorine. Representative examples of fluoroalkyl groups include trifluoromethyl, 2- fluoroethyl, 2,2-difluoroethyl and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl. Preferred are (C-i)fluoroalkyl groups such as trifluoromethyl.

Preparation of compounds of formulae (I), (II), (III) (IV), (V) and (VI):
The present compounds can be prepared by well known literature methods, by the methods given below, by the methods given in the experimental part or by analogous methods. Optimum reaction conditions may vary with the particular reactants or solvents used, but such conditions can be determined by a person skilled in the art by routine optimisation procedures. In some cases the final product may be further modified, for example, by manipulation of substituents to give a new final product. These manipulations may include, but are not limited to, reduction, oxidation, alkylation, acylation, and hydrolysis reactions which are commonly known to those skilled in the art. In some cases the order of carrying out the following reaction schemes, and/or reaction steps, may be varied to facilitate the reaction or to avoid unwanted reaction products. In the general sequence of reactions outlined below, the generic groups R, A-i , A2, and A3 are as defined for formula (I). In some instances the generic groups A-i , A2, and A3 may be incompatible with the assembly illustrated in the schemes below and so will require the use of protecting groups (PG). The use of protecting groups is well known in the art (see for example "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", T.W. Greene, P.G.M. Wuts, Wiley-lnterscience, 1999). For the purposes of this discussion, it will be assumed that such protecting groups as necessary are in place. The compounds obtained may also be converted into pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in a manner known per se. Compounds are synthesized as their S- enantiomers from commercially available proline, 2-methyl-proline, or derivatives thereof.

Saponification of the ester function of compounds of structure A-2 using methods known in the art such as treatment with base such as NaOH in a solvent or a solvent mixture such as EtOH/water or THF may afford the desired carboxylic acids of structure A-3 (Step b, Reaction Scheme A). Compounds of structure A-3 may be converted in a two step procedure to compounds of formula (I). First, coupling of a compound of structure A-3 with hydroxyamidine A-4 in the presence of coupling reagents such as EDC/HOBT, PyBOP, HATU, TBTU in the presence of a base such as DIPEA or Et3N at rt in a suitable solvent such as DCM, DMF or mixture thereof to give intermediate acyl hydroxyamidines of structure A-5 (Step c, Reaction Scheme A). Second, the cyclization of compounds of structure A-5 in solvents such as dioxane or xylene may be achieved thermally in a temperature range from 60-100°C for hours to days to obtain compounds of formula (I) (Step d, Reaction Scheme A).
Carboxylic acids A-1 are well known in the art and can be especially prepared following the procedures reported in WO2008069997, WO2008008517, WO2010048012, WO2010063662, WO2010063663, WO201 1050198, WO201 1050200 and WO201 1050202. In addition, they may be prepared in analogy to the methods given in the experimental part.
Commercially available nitrile-derivatives may be reacted with hydroxylamine under neutral or basic conditions such as NEt3, DIPEA, sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogencarbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium ferf-butoxide and the like in a suitable solvent (methanol, ethanol, etc) to obtain hydroxyamidine A-4. The reaction typically proceeds by allowing the reaction temperature to go from rt to a range of 65-80°C, for about 30 min to several days (see WO 2006/12349, Lucca et al J. Med. Chem. 1998, 241 1 -2423).

General Method I for Amide Formation: PyBOP/DIPEA
Example 302: (5-Methyl-2-[1 ,2,3]triazol-2-yl-phenyl)-[(S)-2-(5-phenyl-[1 ,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl)- pyrrolidin-1 -yl]-methanone
Step A: PyBOP (124 mg, 0.24 mmol) was added to a 0°C solution of C-2-1 (50 mg, 0.16 mmol), benzoic acid (30 mg, 0.25 mmol) and DIPEA (82 uL, 0.48 mmol) in DCM (2.0 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 3h, then water was added. The org. layer was separated and the aq. layer was extracted with DCM (2x). The combined org. extracts were dried (MgS04), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give (S)-/V-(benzoyloxy)-1 -(5-methyl-2-(2/-/- 1 ,2,3-triazol-2-yl)benzoyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboximidamide C-4-1 that was used further without purification.
Step B: The crude C-4-1 was dissolved in dioxane (2.0 mL) and heated to reflux (90°C) for 18h to 4 days. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by prep. HPLC (method G) to give the title compound as an off-white solid. LC-MS B: tR = 0.86 min; [M+H]+ = 401.12.

Step A: TBTU (567 mg, 1.76 mmol) was added to a rt solution of 2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoic acid (250 mg, 1.18 mmol) and DIPEA (0.60 mL, 3.53 mmol) in DCM (6.0 mL). After stirring for 15 min, a solution of C-2-1 (509 mg, 1 .29 mmol) in DCM (1 .0 mL) and DMF (0.3 mL) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 1 h, then diluted with DCM and water. The layers were separated and the aq. layer extracted with DCM (1x). The combined org. extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgS04), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give (S)-1-(5- methyl-2-(2H-1 ,2,3-triazol-2-yl)benzoyl)-/V-((2-(triflu^
carboximidamide C-4-2 that was used further without purification.
Step B: The crude C-4-2 was dissolved in dioxane (7.0 ml.) and heated to reflux (90°C) for 18h to 4 days. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by FC (EtOAc/hept 3:2) to give the title compound as a colorless paste. LC-MS A: tR = 0.98 min; [M+H]+ = 484.96.
General Method K for Amide Formation: EDC/ HOBt
Example 304: (4,5-Dimethyl-2-[1 ,2,3]triazol-2-yl-phenyl)-{(S)-2-[5-(2-trifluoromethoxy- phenyl)-[1 ,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]-pyrrolidin-1 -yl}-methanone
Step A: EDC (59 mg, 0.31 mmol) was added to a rt solution of indazole-3-carboxylic acid (40 mg, 0.25 mmol), HOBT (40 mg, 0.30 mmol) and DIPEA (63 uL, 0.37 mmol) in DCM (1.8 ml_). After stirring for 10 min, C-2-1 (86 mg, 0.259 mmol) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 18h, then diluted with DCM and water. The layers were separated and the aq. layer extracted with DCM (1 x). The combined org. extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgS04), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give (S)-1 -(4,5-dimethyl-2-(2H-1 ,2,3-triazol-2- yl)benzoyl)-/V-((2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoyl)oxy)pyrrolidine-2-carboximidamide C-4-3 that was used further without purification.
Step B: The crude C-4-3 was dissolved in dioxane (3.5 ml.) and heated to reflux (90°C) for 2 days. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by prep. HPLC (method F) to give the title compound as a foam. LC-MS A: tR = 0.86 min; [M+H]+ = 441.08.

Antagonistic activities on both orexin receptors have been measured for each example compound using the following procedure:
In vitro assay: Intracellular calcium measurements:
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the human orexin-1 receptor and the human orexin-2 receptor, respectively, are grown in culture medium (Ham F-12 with L-Glutamine) containing 300 μg/mL G418, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin and 10% heat inactivated fetal calf serum (FCS). The cells are seeded at 20Ό00 cells / well into 384-well black clear bottom sterile plates (Greiner). The seeded plates are incubated overnight at 37°C in 5% C02.
Human orexin-A as an agonist is prepared as 1 mM stock solution in MeOH: water (1 :1 ), diluted in HBSS containing 0.1 % bovine serum albumin (BSA), NaHC03: 0.375g/L and 20 mM HEPES for use in the assay at a final concentration of 3 nM.
Antagonists are prepared as 10 mM stock solution in DMSO, then diluted in 384-well plates using DMSO followed by a transfer of the dilutions into in HBSS containing 0.1 % bovine serum albumin (BSA), NaHC03: 0.375g/L and 20 mM HEPES. On the day of the assay, 50 μΙ_ of staining buffer (HBSS containing 1 % FCS, 20 mM HEPES, NaHC03: 0.375g/L, 5 mM probenecid (Sigma) and 3 μΜ of the fluorescent calcium indicator fluo-4 AM (1 mM stock solution in DMSO, containing 10% pluronic) is added to each well. The 384-well cell-plates are incubated for 50 min at 37° C in 5% C02 followed by equilibration at rt for 30 min before measurement.
Within the Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR Tetra, Molecular Devices), antagonists are added to the plate in a volume of 10 μυννβΙΙ, incubated for 120 min and finally 10 μΙ_Λ /βΙΙ of agonist is added. Fluorescence is measured for each well at 1 second intervals, and the height of each fluorescence peak is compared to the height of the fluorescence peak induced by 3 nM orexin-A with vehicle in place of antagonist. The IC50 value (the concentration of compound needed to inhibit 50% of the agonistic response) is determined and may be normalized using the obtained IC50 value of an on-plate reference compound. Optimized conditions were achieved by adjustment of pipetting speed and cell splitting regime. The calculated IC50 values may fluctuate depending on the daily cellular assay performance. Fluctuations of this kind are known to those skilled in the art. In the case where IC50 values have been determined several times for the same compound, the geometric mean has been given. Antagonistic activities of example compounds are shown in Table 37. Table 37:

Measurement of brain and systemic concentration after oral administration:
In order to assess brain penetration, the concentration of the compound is measured in plasma
([P]), and brain ([B]), sampled 3 h (or at different time points) following oral administration (e.g.
100 mg/kg) to male wistar rats. The compounds are formulated e.g. in 100% PEG 400.
Samples are collected in the same animal at the same time point (+/- 5 min). Blood is sampled from the vena cava caudalis into containers with EDTA as anticoagulant and centrifuged to yield plasma. Brain is sampled after cardiac perfusion of 10 mL NaCI 0.9% and homogenized into one volume of cold phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). All samples are extracted with MeOH and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Concentrations are determined with the help of calibration curves.

Sleep effects: EEG, EMG and behavioural indices of alertness recorded by radiotelemetrv in vivo in Wistar rats.
Electroencephalography (EEG) and Electromyography (EMG) signals were measured by telemetry using TL1 1 M2-F20-EET miniature radiotelemetric implants (Data Science Int.) with two pairs of differential leads.
Surgical implantation was performed under general anesthesia with Ketamin/Xylazin, for cranial placement of one differential pair of EEG electrodes and one pair of EMG leads inserted in either side of the muscles of the neck. After surgery, rats recovered in a thermoregulated chamber and received analgesic treatment with subcutaneous buprenorphine twice a day for 2 d. They were then housed individually and allowed to recover for a minimum of 2 weeks. Thereafter, rats— in their home cage— were placed in a ventilated sound-attenuating box, on a 12-h light / 12-h dark cycle, for acclimatization before continuous EEG / EMG recordings started. The telemetric technology that we used in this study allows accurate and stress-free acquisition of biosignals in rats placed in their familiar home cage environment, with no recording leads restricting their movements. Variables analyzed included four different stages of vigilance and sleep, spontaneous activity in the home cage and body temperature. Sleep and wake stages were evaluated using a rodent scoring software (Somnologica Science) directly processing electrical biosignals on 10 s contiguous epochs. The scoring is based on frequency estimation for EEG and amplitude discrimination for EMG and locomotor activity. Using these measurements, the software determines the probability that all components within each epoch best represent active waking (AW), quiet waking (QW), non-REM-sleep (NREM) or REM-sleep (REM). The percentage of total time spent in AW, QW, NREM- and REM-sleep was calculated per 12 h light or dark period. The latency to the onset of the first significant NREM- and REM-sleep episodes and the number and duration of those episodes were also calculated. AW, QW, NREM- and REM-sleep, home cage activity and body temperature were measured at baseline for at least one total circadian cycle (12 h-night, 12 h-day) before a test compound was administered. If baseline measurements indicated that animals were stable, test compound or vehicle was given in the evening by oral gavage at the end of the baseline 12- h day period, immediately before the nocturnal rise in orexin and activity in rats. All variables were subsequently recorded for 12 h following administration of the orexin receptor antagonist. The compound of Example 95 has been tested in this assay (oral dosage: 100 mg/kg po; effects analyzed over 12 hours): Results are: -7.3 % on active wake, -20.3 % on home cage activity, +1 1.2 % on NREM sleep, +7.8% on REM sleep; when compared to vehicle controls.
The compound of Example 154 has been tested in this assay (oral dosage: 100 mg/kg po; effects analyzed over 12 hours): Results are: -13.9 % on active wake, -26.8 % on home cage activity, +7.3% on NREM sleep, +0.9 % on REM sleep; when compared to vehicle controls.
The compound of Example 308 has been tested in this assay (oral dosage: 100 mg/kg po; effects analyzed over 12 hours): Results are: -24.0 % on active wake, -41.4 % on home cage activity, +14.3 % on NREM sleep, +35.2 % on REM sleep; when compared to vehicle controls. The compound of Example 502 has been tested in this assay (oral dosage: 100 mg/kg po; effects analyzed over 12 hours): Results are: -19.4 % on active wake, -47.1 % on home cage activity, +24.2 % on NREM sleep, +47.0 % on REM sleep; when compared to vehicle controls.
The compound of Example 544 has been tested in this assay (oral dosage: 30 mg/kg po; effects analyzed over 12 hours): Results are: -9.6 % on active wake, -18.5 % on home cage activity, +19.4 % on NREM sleep, +5.6 % on REM sleep; when compared to vehicle controls.
