Description:
MUSCARINIC Ml RECEPTOR POSITIV E ALLOSTERIC MODULATORS

FIELD OF THE ΙΝΛΈΝΤΙΟΝ

The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I), or their isotopic forms, stereoisomers, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts as muscarinic M l receptor positive allosteric modulators (Ml PAMs). The present inv ention also describes method of making such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and their use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mACIiRs), which belong to the class A family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). They are widely expressed throughout the bod)'. Five subtypes termed M l through M5 that respond to the endogenous neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) have been identified till date. They play key role in regulating the activity of man> important functions of the central and peripheral nerv ous system including cognitive function. M l , M3 and M5 couple to Gq, whereas M2 and M4 couple via Gi 'o to downstream signaling pathways and associated effector systems (Critical Reviews in Neurobiology, 1996, 10, 69-99; Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2008, 1 17, 232- 243). M2 and M3 are highly expressed in the periphery and are known to be involved in gastrointestinal (GI) motility and parasympathetic responses such as salivation (Life Sciences, 1993, 52, 441-448). The M l muscarinic receptor is predominantly expressed in (he brain regions such as cortex, hippocampus and amygdala which involved in cognition, and therefore selective activation of the Ml receptor would be expected to boost cognitive performance (Annals of Neurology, 2003, 54, 144 - 146).

Xanomeline, a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist with reasonable selectivity for the M l and M4 subtypes, produced significant effects on cognition in a clinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) trial (Alzheimer Disease and Associated Disorders, 1998, 12(4), 304- 12) although gastrointestinal side effects led to a high dropout rate in clinical trials. There is a high degree of conservation between muscarinic receptor subtypes at their orthosteric acetylcholine ligand binding sites which makes it difficult to identify a l selective agonist.

To circumvent this issue of selectivity and safety, an alternative approach consists of developing Ml PAMs that act at the less conserv ed allosteric binding site. Merck reported the development of Ml positive allosteric modulator, PQCA (l-{[4-cyano-4- (pyridine-2-yl)piperidin- 1 -yl]methyl}-4-oxo-4H-quinolizine-3-carboxylic acid). This compound is highly selective for M l ov er the other muscarinic receptor sub types and found to be efficacious in several preclinical models of cognition (Psychopharmaco!ogy, 2013, 225(1 ), 21 -30) with no gastrointestinal side effects at doses equal to or less than a fiv efold margin from the minimum effectiv e dose required to improve cognition. In preclinical studies it w as demonstrated that M l activation increases neurotransmitter acetylcholine concentration in brain. Moreover, the M l activation has potential as disease- modifying therapy for AD by both shifting the APP processing towards the non- amyloidogenic a-secretase pathway and by decreasing the t u hyper-phosphorylation. Positive allosteric modulators at M l receptor have demonstrated to increase the generation of sAPPa in-vitro (The Journal of Newoscience, 2009, 29, 14271 - 14286). Therefore, M l PAMs provide an approach to target both symptomatic and disease-modifying treatment of cognitive deficits in AD and schizophrenia.

PCT patent application publications, WO201 5049574, WO2015028483, WO2007067489 and WO201 1 149801 have disclosed some M l PAM compounds. While several M l PAMs have been disclosed in the literature till date, no drug acting as M l PAM is launched in the market. Therefore, there is an un-met need and scope to discover and develop new M l PAMs with novel chemical structures devoid of any side effects for the treatment of disorders, which are regulated by M l receptors.

Determination of allosteric potency EC50 values for Muscarinic M l receptor:

A stable CHO cell line expressing recombinant human Muscarinic M l receptor and pC E-Luc reporter system was used for cell-based assay. The assay offers a nonradioactive based approach to determine binding of a compound to GPCRs. In this specific assay, the level of intracellular cyclic AMP which is modulated by activation or inhibition of the receptor is measured. The recombinant cells harbor luciferase reporter gene under the control of cAMP response element.

The above cells were grown in 96 well clear bottom white plates in Hams F 12 medium containing 10 % fetal bovine serum (FBS). Prior to the addition of compounds or standard agonist, cells were serum starved overnight. Increasing concentrations of test compounds -were added along with EC20 of acetylcholine in OptiMEM medium to the cells. The incubation was continued at 37 °C in C0 2 incubator for 4 hours. Medium was removed and cells were washed with phosphate buffered saline. The cells were lysed and luciferase activity was measured in a Lu inometer. Luminescence units were plotted against the compound concentrations using Graphpad software. EC50 values of the compounds were defined as the concentration required in stimulating the luciferase activity by 50 % in presence of EC20 of acetylcholine.

Object Recognition Task Model

The cognition enhancing properties of compounds of this invention were estimated by using this model,

Male YVistar rats (8- 10 weeks old) were used as experimental animals. Four animals were housed in each cage. Animals were kept on 20 % food deprivation from a day prior to experimentation. Water was provided ad libitum throughout the experiment. Animals were maintained on a 12 hours light/dark cycle in temperature and humidity controlled room. The experiment was carried out in an open field made up of acrylic. Rats were habituated to individual arenas (open field) for 1 hour in the absence of any objects on day 1.

One group of 12 rats received vehicle and another set of animals received test compounds or test compounds and Donepezil, before the familiar (T|) and choice (T 2 ) trials. During the familiarization phase, (T , the rats were placed individually in the arena for 3 minutes, in which two identical objects (ai and a ) were positioned 10 cm from the wall. 24 hours after T t . trial for long-term memory test was performed. The same rats were placed in the same arena as they were placed in T| trial. During the choice phase (T 2 ) rats were allowed to explore the arena for 3 minutes in presence of a copy of familiar object (aj) and one novel object (b). During the T| and T 2 trial, explorations of each object (defined as sniffing, licking, chewing or having moving vibrissae whilst directing the nose towards the object at a distance of less than 1 cm) were recorded using stopwatch.

T| is the total time spent exploring the familiar objects (al + a2).

Ti is the total time spent exploring the familiar object and novel object (a3 +b).

Discriminative index = Time spent with novel object / (time spent with novel and familiar object).

The object recognition test was performed as described in Behavioural Brain Research, 1988, 31 , 47-59.

Contextual fear conditioning task

Experiment was carried out over a period of two days. On day 1 , rats were placed in the operant behavior chamber and allowed to acclimatize for 2 minutes. Rats received an unavoidable foot shock (unconditioned stimulus (US): electric shock of 0.5 - 0.7 mA for 3 sec). Following a 1 minute interval, shocks were repeated to deliver a total of three US. Rats were administered with vehicle or test compound post training. Scopolamine (0.3 mg/kg, s.c.) was administered 120 minutes after training.

On day 2, rats were placed in the operant behavior chamber and total freezing time was scored for a period of 5 minutes. Test compound, example 18 reversed the scopolamine induced memory deficit and the result is shown in figure 3.

Rodent Pharmacokinetic Study

Male Wistar rats (260 ± 50 grams) were used as experimental animals. Animals were housed individually in polypropylene cage. Two days prior to study, male Wistar rats were anesthetized with isoflurane for surgical placement of jugular vein catheter. Rats were randomly divided for oral (3 mg kg) and intravenous (1 mg kg) dosing (n = 3/group) and fasted overnight before oral dosing {p.o.), However, rats allocated to intravenous (/. v.) dosing food and water was provided ad libitum.

At pre-determined point, blood was collected through jugular vein and replenished with an equivalent volume of normal saline. Collected blood was transferred into a labeled eppendorf tube containing 10 μί of heparin as an anticoagulant. Typically blood samples were collected at following time points: 0.08, 0.25, 0.5, 1 , 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours post dose. Blood was centriruged at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes. Plasma was separated and stored frozen at -80 °C until analysis. The concentrations of the test compounds were quantified in plasma by qualified LC-MS/MS method using suitable extraction technique, The test compounds were quantified in the calibration range around 1 - 1000 ng/mL in plasma. Study samples were analyzed using calibration samples in the batch and quality control samples spread across the batch. Pharmacokinetic parameters C max , T max , AUC,, T1/2, clearance, Vz and bioavailability were calculated by non-compartmental model using standard non- compartmental model by using Phoenix WinNonlin 6.0.2 or 6.0.3 version Software package.

Rodent Brain Penetration Study

Male Wistar rats (260 ± 40 grams) were used as experimental animals. Three animals were housed in each cage. Animals were given water and food ad libitum throughout the experiment and maintained on a 12 hours light/dark cycle.

Brain penetration was determined in discrete manner in rats. One day prior to dosing day, male Wistar rats were acclimatized and randomly grouped according to their weight. At each time point (0.50, 1 and 2 hours) n = 3 animals were used.

The test compounds were suitably preformulated and administered orally at (free base equivalent) 3 mg/kg. Blood samples were removed via cardiac puncture by using isoflurane anesthesia. The animals were sacrificed to collect brain tissue. Plasma was separated and brain samples were homogenized and stored frozen at -20 °C until analysis. The concentrations of the test compounds in plasma and brain were determined using LC- MS/MS method.

The test compounds were quantified in plasma and brain homogenate by qualified LC-MS/MS method using suitable extraction technique. The test compounds were quantified in the calibration range of 1 -500 ng/mL in plasma and brain homogenate. Study samples were analyzed using calibration samples in the batch and quality control samples spread across the batch. Extent of brain-plasma ratio was calculated (Ct>/C p ).

Modulation of soluble amyloid precursor protein a (sAPPa) levels in cortex

In addition to providing symptomatic · treatment for cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease, activation of the M l receptor also has disease modifying effects in AD patients. Positive allosteric modulators at M l receptor have demonstrated to increase the generation of sAPPa in-vitro indicating processing of amyloid precursor protein the non-amyloidogenic pathway.

Experimental Procedure:

Estimation of cortical sAPPa levels in rat brain

Male istar rats (250 ± 40 grams) were randomly divided (n=8 group) into different treatment groups. Control group of rats were intraperitoneally (i.p.) administered with vehicle (99.75 % of 0.25 % HEC HHX + 0.25 % tween 80). Rats from treatment groups received a single intraperitoneal injection of test compound (dose volume of 2 mL kg). Rats were sacrificed by cerv ical dislocation at 60 minutes after administration of test compound. Brains were quickly isolated and the cortex was dissected at -20 °C. The cortex was immediately kept on a dry ice and weighed before being stored at -80 °C until quantification of sAPPa using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Estimation of cortical sAPPa levels in mice brain

Male C57BL/6J mice (25 ± 5 grams) were randomly divided (n=8 group) into five groups. Control group of mice were intraperitoneally (i.p.) administered with vehicle (99.75 % of 0.25 % HEC HHX + 0.25 % tween 80) and the treatment group of mice received a single intraperitoneal injection of example 18 (dose volume of 10 mL kg). Mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation at 60 minutes after administration of test compound. Brains were quickly isolated and the cortex was dissected at -20 °C. The cortex was immediately kept on a dry ice and weighed before being stored at -80 °C until quantification of sAPPa using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Sample Preparation: 1. Protease inhibitor cocktail tablets (complete mini. Make- Roche; 1 tablet for 8 mL) were added to the Tris Buffer Saline (TBS) prior to using the buffer for the tissue processing.

2. Cortical tissues were thawed and homogenized in five volumes of TBS and the solution was centrifuged at 15,000 rpm at 4 °C for 90 minutes.

3. The supernatant was discarded and homogenized in five volumes of TBS. Samples were centrifuged at 15,000 rpm at 4 °C for 30 minutes.

4. Supernatant was discarded and precipitated was sonicated in ten volumes of 6 M Guanidine-HCl (in 50 mM Tris buffer, pH: 7.6). Sonication was repeated four times with duration of five seconds every time.

5. Resulting mixture was incubated at the room temperature for 30 minutes and centrifuged at 15,000 rpm at 4 °C for 30 minutes. Supernatant was diluted 100 times with EIA buffer prior to addition in the pre-coated ELISA plates.

Measurement of sAPPa by ELISA Kit:

To investigate the role of an acute treatment of test compound on sAPPa levels, the expression of this protein was measured in homogenates obtained from the cortex of treated and untreated rats by employing ELISA assay. The entire procedure was followed as described in the ELISA kit manual (Mouse/Rat sAPPa ELISA, Catalog Number: JP27419, Immuno-Biological Laboratories, Hamburg, Germany).

Statistical analysis:

Statistical analyses were performed using the Graph Pad Prism (Version 4). Results are expressed as Mean ± SEM levels of sAPPa expressed as percentage of control values (rats treated with vehicle). Statistical significance after treatment was assessed using One-Way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's post test and the significance level was set below/? value less than 0.05.

Result:

After sixty minutes post treatment, the test compound, example 18 produced significant increases in the cortical sAPPa levels in mice brain with mean increase of 38 % observed at a dose 10 mg/kg, i.p. and the result are shown in figure 4. Similarly, Example 18 produced dose-dependent increase in the rat brain cortical sAPPa levels with mean maximum increase of 26 % observed at a dose 10 mg kg, i.p. and the result is shown in figure 5.

Example 109:

Modulation of cerebral blood flow in frontal cortex:

The effect of test compound on modulation of cerebral blood flow was evaluated using rats.

Rats were acclimatized to the laboratory environment for at least 7 days. Rats (300 - 350 grams) were housed in a group of four in a controlled environment (Temp = 21 ± 3 °C; Humidity = 30-70 %) and maintained on a 12-hour light/dark cycle with lights on at 07:00 AM. Food and water was provided ad libitum.

Rats were anaesthetized with 12% urethane (i.p.). .Animal's body core temperature was maintained at 37 °C via a heating pad and rectal temperature probe. A small incision was made at one of the ventral side of the hind limb and the femoral vein was cannulated with PEIO tubing for drug application. Then animal was placed into a stereotaxic frame and a midline incision was made to expose the skull. A burr hole was drilled over the frontal cortex (stereotaxic coordinates 1 mm anterior and 4 mm lateral to bregma). Oxygen was supplied through the nose cone of the seterotaxic apparatus which was connected to the controlled gaseous supplier with a flow of 200 mL/minute. Laser Doppler probe (AD Instruments Inc) was placed over the hole to monitor cerebral blood flow, The Laser Doppler probe was connected to a computerized data acquisition system (PowerLab 16/30, AD Instruments Inc). Vehicle or test compound were administered intravenously after cerebral blood flow was stable for 30 minutes. The cerebral blood flow was collected for further 90 minutes. Data obtained was calculated as percent increase relative to resting basal blood flow level. Test compound data was compared with the control group using one-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni post test.
