Description

3,4-DISUBSTITUTED, 3,5 _DISUBSTITUTED AND 3,4,5-SUBSTITUTED ® PIPERIDINES AND PIPERAZINES
Background of the Invention Field of the Invention
The invention relates to substituted piperidine and piperazine compounds useful in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and more specifically to compounds that are capable of inhibiting beta-secretase, an enzyme that cleaves amyloid precursor protein to produce amyloid beta peptide (A-beta), a . major component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of
Alzheimer’s sufferers.
Description of Related Art
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain primarily associated with aging. Clinical presentation of AD is characterized by loss of memory, cognition, reasoning, judgment, and orientation. As the disease progresses, motor, sensory, and linguistic abilities are also affected until there is global impairment of multiple cognitive functions. These cognitive losses occur gradually, but typically lead to severe impairment and eventual death in the range of four to twelve years.
Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by two major pathologic observations in the brain: neurofibrillary tangles and beta amyloid (or neuritic) plaques, comprised predominantly of an aggregate of a peptide fragment know as A-beta. Individuals with AD exhibit characteristic beta-amyloid deposits in the brain (beta amyloid plaques) and in cerebral blood vessels (beta amyloid angiopathy) as well as neurofibrillary tangles.
Neurofibrillary tangles occur not only in Alzheimer’s disease but also in other dementia-inducing disorders. On autopsy, large numbers of these lesions are generally found in areas of the human brain important for memory and cognition. @ Smaller numbers of these lesions in a more restricted anatomical distribution are found in the brains of most aged humans who do not have clinical AD. Amyloidogenic plaques and vascular amyloid angiopathy also characterize the brains of individuals with Trisomy 21 (Down's Syndrome), Hereditary
Cerebral Hemorrhage with Amyloidosis of the Dutch-Type (HCHWA-
D), and other neurodegenerative disorders. Beta-amyloid is a defining feature of AD, now believed to be a causative precursor or factor in the development of disease. Deposition of A-beta in areas of the brain responsible for cognitive activities is a major factor in the development of AD. Beta-amyloid plaques are predominantly composed of amyloid beta peptide (A-beta, also sometimes designated betaa4). A-beta peptide is derived by proteolysis of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and is comprised of 39-42 amino acids. Several proteases called secretases are involved in the processing of APP.
Clcavage of APP at the N-terminus of the A-beta peptide by
Dbeta-secretase and at the C-terminus by the gamma -secretase complex constitutes the beta-amyloidogenic pathway, i.e. the pathway by which A-beta ig formed. Cleavage of APP by alpha- secretase produces alpha-sAPP, a secreted form of APP that does not result in beta-amyloid plaque formation. This alternate pathway precludes the formation of A-beta peptide. A description of the proteolytic processing fragments of APP ig found, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,441,870; 5,721,130; and 5,942,400.
An aspartyl protease has been identified as the enzyme responsible for processing of APP at the beta-secretase cleavage : site. The beta-secretase enzyme has been disclosed using varied nomenclature, including BACE, Asp, and Memapsin. See, for example, Sindha et al., 1999, Nature 402:537-554 (p501) and published PCT application WO00/17369.
Several lines of evidence indicate that progressive @ cerebral deposition of beta-amyloid peptide (A-beta) plays a seminal role in the pathogenesis of AD and can precede cognitive symptoms by years or decades. See, for example, Selkoe, 1991,
Neuron 6:487. Release of A-beta from neuronal cells grown in culture and the presence of A-beta in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of both normal individuals and AD patients has been demonstrated. see, for example, Seubert et al., 1992, Nature 359:325-327.
It has been proposed that A-beta peptide accumulates as a result of APP processing by beta-secretase, thus inhibition of this enzyme's activity is desirable for the treatment of AD. In vivo processing of APP at the beta-secretase cleavage site is thought to be a rate-limiting step in A-beta production, and is thus a therapeutic target for the treatment of AD. See for example, Sabbagh, M., et al., 1997, Alz. Dis. Rev. 3, 1-19.
BACE1l knockout mice fail to produce A-beta, and present a normal phenotype. When crossed with transgenic mice that over express APP, the progeny show reduced amounts of A-beta in brain extracts as compared with control animals (Luo et al., 2001
Nature Neuroscience 4:231-232). This evidence further supports the proposal that inhibition of beta-secretase activity and reduction of A-beta in the brain provides a therapeutic method for the treatment of AD and other beta amyloid disorders.
At present there are no effective treatments for halting, preventing, or reversing the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for pharmaceutical agents capable of slowing the progression of Alzheimer's disease and/or preventing it in the first place.
Compounds that are effective inhibitors of beta-secretase, that inhibit beta-secretase-mediated cleavage of APP, that are
S effective inhibitors of A-beta production, and/or are effective to reduce amyloid beta deposits or plaques, are needed for the treatment and prevention of disease characterized by amyloid @ beta deposits or plaques, such as AD.

The compounds of the present invention, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts or esters thereof, are useful for treating humans who have Alzheimer's disease, for helping prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease, for treating patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and preventing Or @® delaying the onset of Alzheimer's disease in those who would progress from MCI to AD, for treating Down's syndrome, for treating humans who have Hereditary Cerebral Hemorrhage with
Amyloidosis of the Dutch-Type, for treating cerebral amyloid angiopathy and preventing its potential consequences, i.e. single and recurrent lobar hemorrhages, for treating other degenerative dementias, including dementias of mixed vascular and degenerative origin, dementia associated with Parkinson's disease, dementia associated with progressive supranuclear palsy, dementia associated with cortical basal degeneration, diffuse Lewy body type of Alzheimer's disease. It is preferred that the disease is Alzheimer's disease.
The compounds of the present invention are also useful to inhibit beta-secretase and reduce or inhibit the formation of placque.
When treating these diseases, compounds of the present invention can either be used individually or together as is best for the patient.
With regard to these diseases the term "treating" means that compounds of the present invention can be used in humans with existing disease. The compounds of the present invention will not necessarily cure the patient who has the disease but will delay or slow the progression of the disease thereby giving the individual a more useful life span.
The term "preventing" means that that if the compounds of the present invention are administered to those who do not now have the disease but who would normally get the disease or be at increased risk for the disease, they will not get the disease.
In addition, "preventing" also includes delaying the development of the disease in an individual who will ultimately get the disease or would be at risk for the disease. By delaying the onset of the disease, compounds of the present invention have ) prevented the individual from getting the disease during the period in which the individual would normally have gotten the disease or reduce the rate of development of the disease or some of its effects but for the administration of compounds of the present invention up to the time the individual ultimately gets the disease.
In treating or preventing the above diseases the compounds of the present invention are administered in a therapeutically effective amount. The therapeutically effective amount will vary depending on the particular compound used and the route of administration as is known to those skilled in the art. ]
In treating a patient with any of the diagnosed above conditions a physician should begin administration of one or more of the compounds of the present invention immediately and continue indefinitely.
In treating patients who do not at the present have
Alzheimer's disease, but who are believed to be at substantial risk for getting Alzheimer's disease in the future, the physician should start treatment when the patient first experiences early pre-Alzheimer's symptoms such as, memory or cognitive problems associated with aging. In addition, there are some patients who are at high risk because of having the genetic marker APOE4 which is predictive for Alzheimer's disease. In these situations, even though the patient does not have the disease, the administration of the compounds of the present invention should be started before disease symptoms appear and treatment continued indefinitely to prevent or delay them from possibly getting the disease.
The compounds of the present invention can be administered orally, parenterally (IV, IM, depo-IM, SQ and depo-SQ), sublingually, intranasally (inhalation), intrathecally,
topically and rectally. The invention here is the compounds of . the present invention. There is nothing new about the routes of administration nor the dosage forms. Dosage forms known to those ® skilled in the art are suitable for delivery of the compounds of the present invention.
When administered orally, the compounds of the present invention can be administered in usual dosage forms for oral administration as is well known to those skilled in the art.
These dosage forms include the usual solid unit dosage forms of tablets and capsules as well as liquid dosage forms such as solutions, suspensions and elixirs. When the solid dosage forms are used, it is preferred that they be of the sustained release type so that the compounds of the present invention need to be administered only once or twice daily.
The oral dosage forms are administered to the patient one "20 thru four times daily. It is preferred that the compounds of the present invention be administered either three or fewer time, more preferably once or twice daily. Hence, it is preferred that the compounds of the present invention be administered in solid dosage form and further it is preferred that the solid dosage form be a sustained release form which permits once or twice daily dosing. It is preferred that whatever dosage form is used, that it be designed so as to protect the compounds of the present invention from the acidic environment of the stomach.
Enteric coated tablets are well known to those skilled in the art. In addition, capsules filled with small spheres each coated to protect from the acidic stomach, are also well known to those skilled in the art. When administered orally the therapeutically effective amount is from about 0.1 mg/day to about 3,000 mg/day, preferably about 1,000 mg/day. It is more preferred that the : 35 oral dosage is from about 1 mg/day to about 100 mg/day. It is more preferred that the oral dosage is from about 5 mg/day to : about 50 mg/day. It is understood that while a patient may be started on one dose, that dose may have to be varied over time as the patient's condition changes. ® In addition, the compounds of the present invention can be administered parenterally. When administered parenterally they can be administered IV, IM, depo-IM, SQ or depo-SQ. When administered parenterally, the compounds of the present invention should deliver a therapeutically effective amount about 0.5 to about 100 mg/day, preferably from about 5 to about 50 mg daily. When a depo formulation is used for injection once a month or once every two weeks, the dose should be about 0.5 mg/day to about 50 mg/day or on a monthly amount the dose for one month should be from about 15 mg to about 1,500 mg. Because of the forgetfulness of the patients with Alzheimer's disease, it is preferred that the parenteral dosage form be a depo-IM injection.
The compounds of the present invention can be given sublingually. When given sublingually, the compounds of the present invention should be given one thru four times daily in the same amount as for IM administration.
The compounds of the present invention can be given intranasally. When given by this route of administration, the appropriate dosage forms are a nasal spray or dry powder as is known to those skilled in the art. The dosage of the compounds of the present invention for intranasal administration is the same as for IM administration.
The compounds of the present invention can be given intrathecally. When given by this route of administration the appropriate dosage form can be a parenteral dosage form as is known to those skilled in the art. The dosage of the compounds of the present invention for intrathecal administration is the same "as for IM administration.
The compounds of the present invention can be given : topically. When given by this route of administration, the appropriate dosage form is a cream, ointment or patch. Because : of the amount of the compounds of the present invention needed ® to administered the patch is preferred. Further, two or more patches may be needed. When administered topically, the dosage is from about 0.5 mg/day to about 200 mg/day. However, the amount that can be delivered by a patch is limited. Therefore, two or more patches may be required. The number and size of the patch is not important, what is important is that a therapeutically effective amount of the compounds of the present invention be delivered as is known to those skilled in the art. The compounds of the present invention can be administered rectally by suppository as is known to those skilled in the art. When administered by suppository, the therapeutically effective amount is from about 0.5 mg to about 500 mg.
The compounds of the present invention can be administered by implants as is known to those skilled in the art. When administering a compound of the present invention by implant, the therapeutically effective amount is the same as for depot administration.
Again, the invention here is the compounds of the present invention of the present invention. There is nothing novel about the route of administration nor the dosage forms for administering the compounds of the present invention. Given a particular compounds of the present invention, and a desired dosage form, one skilled in the art would know how to prepare the appropriate dosage form for the compounds of the present invention.
The compounds of the present invention are used in the same manner by the same routes of administration using the same pharmaceutical dosage forms and at the same dosing schedule for treating patients with MCI (mild cognitive impairment) and preventing or delaying the onset of Alzheimer's disease in those who would progress from MCI to AD, for treating Down's syndrome, for treating humans who have Hereditary Cerebral Hemorrhage with
Amyloidosis of the Dutch-Type, for treating cerebral amyloid ® angiopathy and preventing its potential consequences, i.e. single and recurrent lobar hemorrhages, for treating other degenerative dementias, including dementias of mixed vascular and degenerative origin, dementia associated with Parkinson's disease, dementia associated with progressive supranuclear palsy, dementia associated with cortical basal degeneration, diffuse
Lewy body type of Alzheimer's disease.
The compounds of the present invention can be used with each other or with other agents used to treat or prevent the conditions listed above. Such agents include gamma-secretase inhibitors, anti-amyloid vaccines and pharmaceutical agents such as donepezil hydrochloride (ARICEPT Tablets), tacrine hydrochloride (COGNEX Capsules) or other acetylcholine esterase inhibitors and with direct or indirect neurotropic agents of the future.
In addition, the compounds of the present invention can also be used with inhibitors of P-glycoproten (P-gp). The use of
P-gp inhibitors is known to those skilled in the art. See for’ ’ example, Cancer Research, 53, 4595-4602 (1993), Clin. Cancer
Res., 2, 7-12 (1996), Cancer Research, 56, 4171-4179 (1996),
International Publications W099/64001 and WO01/10387. The important thing is that the blood level of the P-gp inhibitor be such that it exerts its effect in inhibiting P-gp from : decreasing brain blood levels of the compounds of the present invention. To that end the P-gp inhibitor and the compounds of the present invention can be administered at the same time, by the same or different route of administration, or at different ° times. The important thing is not the time of administration but having an effective blood level of the P-gp inhibitor.
