Description

CYCLOPROPYL DERIVATIVES AS NK3 RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS h
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel compounds which are NK3 receptor antagonists and as such useful for treatment of diseases where the NK3 receptor is implicated.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Three tachykinins, Substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA) and neurokinin B (NKB) are widely distributed throughout the peripheral and central nervous systems. The biological effects of these neuropeptides are primary mediated via binding to and subsequent activation of the three neurokinin receptors, NK1, NK2 and NK3. Substance P is considered to be the endogenous ligand for the NK1 receptor and likewise NKA and NKB for the NK2 and NK3 receptors, respectively. However, recent data indicates that there exist cross- reactivity within the tachykinin system, which might be of physiological relevance as both
NKA and NKB potently are able to bind and activate the NK1 receptor (for review see
Maggi, CA et al: Trends Pharmacol Sci. 1997, 18, p351-5). The three receptor subtypes belong to the G-protein-coupled receptor super family and have been cloned in various species including mice, rats and humans (Nakanishi S: Annu Rev Neurosci. 1991, 14, p123- 36).
The three tachykinin receptors are expressed both centrally and in the periphery. The NK3 receptor is mainly expressed centrally in regions including cortex, striatum, substantia nigra compacta, ventral tegmental area, hypothalamus, amygdala and hippocampus (Stroessl AJ et al: Brain Res. 1990, 534, p1-7, Koutcherov Y et al: Neuroreport. 2000, 11, p3127-31). In the periphery, the NK3 receptor is expressed in regions including colon, kidney, lungs and the urinary bladder (Regoli D et al: Trends Pharmacol Sci. 1988 Aug;9(8): 290-5, Kamali F:
Curr Opin Investig Drugs. 2001 Jul;2(7):950-6). Centrally, the NK3 receptor is expressed on cholinergic (Chen LW et al: Neuroscience. 2001;103(2):413-22), noradrenergic (references within Oury-Donat F et al: J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 1995, 274, p148-54) and dopaminergic neurons (Keegan KD et al: Br. J. Pharmacol. 1992, 105, p3-5). In agreement with these results, activation of the NK3 receptor has been reported to be implicated in the regulation of various monoamine transmitters, e.g. dopamine and acetylcholine (Marco N et al: Neuropeptides. 1998, 32, p481-8, Stoessl AJ et al: Brain Res. 1990, 517, p111-6),
noradrenaline (Jung M et al: Neuroscience. 1996, 74, p403-14) and serotonine (Stoess! AJ et al: Brain Res. 1990, 517, p111-6).
The NK3 receptor-mediated regulation of monoamine systems supports that the NK3 receptor is involved in diverse functions including memory, learning, cortical processing and behavioral control (Yip J et al: Br J Pharmacol. 1997, 122, p715-25, Ding YQ et al: J
Comp Neurol. 1996, 364, 290-310, Mileusnic D et al: Neurobiol Aging. 1999, 20, p19-35) and that it is target for various psychological and neurological disorders (Emonds-Alt X et al: Can J Physiol Pharmacol. 2002, 80, p482-8, Kamali F, Curr Opin Investig Drugs. 2001, 2, p950-6, Langlois X et al: J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2001, 299, p712-7). Indeed, the NK3 receptor has been reported to be implicated in modulation of anxiety (Ribeiro SJ et al:
Neuropeptides. 1999, 33, p181-8).
Further, it has been reported that the NK3 receptor antagonist SR142801 has effect against schizophrenia, in particular positive symptoms. SR142801 is described in, e.g., EP 673928.
The structure of SR142801 is outlined below (Kamali F: Curr Opin Investig Drugs. 2001,
Jul;2(7):950-6). lo}

In vivo, NK3 receptor activation centrally has been reported to mediate hypertension and tachycardia (Nagashima A et al: Brain Res. 487, 1989, p392-396, Takano Y et al: Brain
Res. 1990, 528, p231-7, Picard P et al: Br J Pharmacol. 1994, 112, p240-9) whereas NK3 receptor activation in the periphery mediates hypotension and bradycardia (Couture R et al:
Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol. 1989, 340, p547-57). Additional in vivo studies have indicated that NK3 receptor activation decrease water, salt and alcohol intake (Massi
Met al: Brain Res Bull. 1991 26 p155-60, Massi M et al: Neurosci Lett. 1988, 92, p341-6 and Ciccocioppo R et al: Brain Res Bull. 1994, 33, p71-7) which together with the localization of the NK3 receptor on MCH neurons support a role of the NK3 receptor in the. regulation of food intake (Griffond B et al: J Chem Neuroanat. 1997, 12, p183-9). Further in vivo studies have shown that the NK3 receptor is implicated in renal control of water and electrolyte homeostasis (Yuan YD: Br J Pharmacol. 1997, 120, p785-96). Activation of the
NK3 receptor has been reported to inhibit gastric acid secretion (Improta G et al: Peptides. 1991, 12, p1433-4), induce oral dyskinesia (Liminga U et al: Pharmacol Biochem Behav. 1991, 38, p617-20) and oedema (Inoue H et al: Inflamm Res. 1996, 45, p316-23).
In vitro NK3 activation has been reported to have proconvulsive effect (Maubach KA et al:
Neuroscience. 1998, 83, p1047-62) and to mediate hyperexcitability in ischemic injury (Stumm R et al: J Neurosci. 2001, 21, p798-811).
Selective high affinity non-peptide NK3 receptor antagonists have been shown to be antinociceptic (Fioramonti J et al: Neurogastroenterol Motil. 2003, 15, p363-9, Couture R et al: Life Sci. 2000, 66, p51-65, Julia V et al: Gastroenterology. 1999, 116, p1124-31,
Coudore-Civiale MA: European Journal of Pharmacology 1998, 361, p175-184) and analgesic (Houghton AK et al: Neuropharmacology. 2000, 39, p133-40). In addition, studies demonstrate consistent effect of a NK3 receptor antagonist against visceral pain encouragingly precluding constipation (Mayer EA et al: Gastroenterology. 1999, 116, p1250-2, Julia V et al: Gastroenterology. 1999 116 p1124-31). Similarly inhibition of the
NK3 receptor is stated to prevent gut inflammation highlighting effect against inflammatory bowel disease (Mazelin L et al: Life Sci. 1998, 63, p293-304), cough, airway hyperresponsiveness, microvascular hypersensitivity and reduction of bronchoconstriction (Daoui S et al: Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 1998, 158, p42-8 , Rumsey WL et al: J
Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2001, 298, p307-15, Daoui S et al: Pulm Pharmacol Ther. 1997 10 p261-70). Inhibition of the NK3 receptor as therapeutic strategy for Parkinsons disease has been substantiated in several reports (Arenas E: J Neurosci. 1991, 11, p2332-8, Kemel ML et al: J Neurosci. 2002, 22, p1929-36).
Accordingly, pre-clinical, in vivo and in vitro studies support that NK3 receptor antagonists are of relevance for the treatment or prevention of various disorders including: schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, Parkinson's disease, pain, convulsions, cough, asthma, airway hyperresponsiveness, microvascular hypersensitivity, bronchoconstriction, gut inflammation, inflammatory bowel disease, hypertension, imbalances in water and electrolyte homeostasis, ischemia, oedema and plasma extravasation.
Hence, there is a desire for NK3 receptor antagonists. The present inventors have now found such compounds with a strong affinity for the NK3 receptor.
Several patent applications relate to compounds disclosed as NK receptor antagonist, e.g.
EP 474561, EP 512901 and WO 03/051869. In particular, some patent applications relate to compounds disclosed as NK3 receptor antagonist, e.g. WO 9710211, US 5434158 and EP 673928. US 5750549 disclose cyclopentane derivatives as NK1 receptor antagonist.
The compounds of the present invention are all cyclopropyl derivates. As described in the following, some patent applications relate to different cyclopropane derivatives. However, none of these patent applications relates to the NK3 receptor or others of the NK receptors.

Racemic forms can be resolved into the optical antipodes by known methods, for example, by separation of diastereomeric salts thereof with an optically active acid, and liberating the optically active amine compound by treatment with a base. Another method for resolving racemates into the optical antipodes is based upon chromatography on an optically active matrix. Racemic compounds of the present invention can also be resolved into their optical antipodes, e.g. by fractional crystallization. The compounds of the present invention may also be resolved by the formation of diastereomeric derivatives. Additional methods for the resolution of optical isomers, known to those skilled in the art, may be used. Such methods include those discussed by J. Jaques, A. Collet and S. Wilen in “Enantiomers, Racemates, and Resolutions”, John Wiley and Sons, New York (1981). Optically active compounds can also be prepared from optically active starting materials.
