Oxytocin receptor modulators Field The present disclosure relates to fused indole compounds that modulate the activity of oxytocin at the oxytocin receptor and methods for their use. Related application This application claims priority from Australian provisional application AU 2020904677, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Background Oxytocin (OT) is a peptide neurotransmitter which exerts its physiological effects by acting predominantly on the oxytocin receptor (OTR). The OTR is a class A G-protein- coupled receptor (GPCR) distributed widely throughout the brain and periphery. This receptor plays a key role in social, drug-seeking and reproduction-related behaviours. The OTR has become a target for development of pro-social therapeutics for mental disorders that feature social symptoms such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), schizophrenia, and social anxiety. The OTR is a target for development of anti- addiction therapeutics. The OTR is also a target for treatment of social and neuropsychiatric behaviours in patients with neurodegenerative conditions, such as frontotemporal dementia and related dementias. There are two processes through which drugs can engage GPCRs. The first is through binding of a ligand to the orthosteric site of the receptor, which is the site at which the main endogenous ligand binds. The second is through binding of a ligand to a spatially separate site from the orthosteric site. This is an allosteric site, and typically allosteric ligands modulate the activity of orthosteric ligands. Orthosteric OTR ligands and their use in treating diseases, conditions and/or disorders are described in WO 03/000692 A2, WO 2005/023812 A2, WO 2017/004674 A1, WO2018/107216 A1 and WO 2019/060692 A1. However, none of these publications discloses compounds able to bind allosterically modulate OT activity at the OTR. OT has a high degree of structural similarity to vasopressin (VP), as both OT and VP are cyclic nonapeptides secreted by the posterior pituitary gland. Several VP receptors (VPR) have been identified including V ^1α , V ^1b and V ² receptors. Due to the structural similarity of OT and VP, selectivity between OTR and the various VPRs of orthosteric inhibitors is important. Orthosteric VPR ligands and their use in treating diseases, conditions and /or disorders are described in WO 2006/021213 A2 and WO 2010/097576 A1. It would therefore be advantageous to provide novel compounds able to modulate OT activity at OTR. It would also be advantageous to provide these compounds able to bind an allosteric site of OTR, which may modulate OT activity at the OTR through this allosteric interaction. Allosteric OTR modulators may also be selective for the OTR relative to one or more VPRs. All publications, patents and patent applications that may be cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Any discussion of documents, acts, materials, devices, articles or the like which has been included in the present specification is not to be taken as an admission that any or all of these matters form part of the prior art base or were common general knowledge in the field relevant to the present disclosure as it existed before the priority date of each claim of this application.

The term “heterocyclyl” refers to a moiety obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from a ring atom of a heterocyclic compound which moiety has from 3 to 10 ring atoms (unless otherwise specified), of which 1, 2, 3 or 4 are ring heteroatoms each heteroatom being independently selected from O, S and N. Heterocyclyl groups include monocyclic and polycyclic (such as bicyclic) ring systems, such as fused, bridged and spirocyclic systems, provided at least one of the rings of the ring system contains at least one heteroatom. In this context, the prefixs 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9- and 10- membered denote the number of ring atoms, or range of ring atoms, whether carbon atoms or heteroatoms. For example, the term “3-10 membered heterocylyl”, as used herein, pertains to a heterocyclyl group having 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 ring atoms. Examples of heterocylyl groups include 5-6-membered monocyclic heterocyclyls and 9-10 membered fused bicyclic heterocyclyls. Examples of monocyclic heterocyclyl groups include, but are not limited to, those containing one nitrogen atom such as aziridine (3-membered ring), azetidine (4- membered ring), pyrrolidine (tetrahydropyrrole), pyrroline (e.g., 3-pyrroline, 2,5- dihydropyrrole), 2H-pyrrole or 3H-pyrrole (isopyrrole, isoazole) or pyrrolidinone (5- membered rings) , piperidine, dihydropyridine, tetrahydropyridine (6-membered rings), and azepine (7-membered ring); those containing two nitrogen atoms such as imidazoline, pyrazolidine (diazolidine), imidazoline, pyrazoline (dihydropyrazole) (5- membered rings), piperazine (6-membered ring); those containing one oxygen atom such as oxirane (3-membered ring), oxetane (4-membered ring), oxolane (tetrahydrofuran), oxole (dihydrofuran) (5-membered rings), oxane (tetrahydropyran), dihydropyran, pyran (6-membered rings), oxepin (7-membered ring); those containing two oxygen atoms such as dioxolane (5-membered ring), dioxane (6-membered ring), and dioxepane (7-membered ring); those containing three oxygen atoms such as trioxane (6-membered ring); those containing one sulfur atom such as thiirane (3- membered ring), thietane (4-membered ring), thiolane (tetrahydrothiophene) (5- membered ring), thiane (tetrahydrothiopyran) (6-membered ring), thiepane (7- membered ring); those containing one nitrogen and one oxygen atom such as tetrahydrooxazole, dihydrooxazole, tetrahydroisoxazole, dihydroisoxazole (5-membered rings), morpholine, tetrahydrooxazine, dihydrooxazine, oxazine (6-membered rings); those containing one nitrogen and one sulfur atom such as thiazoline, thiazolidine (5- membered rings), thiomorpholine (6-membered ring); those containing two nitrogen and one oxygen atom such as oxadiazine (6-membered ring); those containing one oxygen and one sulfur such as: oxathiole (5-membered ring) and oxathiane (thioxane) (6- membered ring); and those containing one nitrogen, one oxygen and one sulfur atom such as oxathiazine (6-membered ring). Heterocyclyls encompass aromatic heterocyclyls and non-aromatic heterocyclyls. Such groups may be substituted or unsubstituted. The term “aromatic heterocyclyl” may be used interchangeably with the term “heteroaromatic” or the term “heteroaryl” or “hetaryl”. The heteroatoms in the aromatic heterocyclyl group may be independently selected from N, S and O. The aromatic heterocyclyl groups may comprise 1, 2, 3, 4 or more ring heteroatoms. In the case of fused aromatic heterocyclyl groups, only one of the rings may contain a heteroatom and not all rings must be aromatic. “Heteroaryl” is used herein to denote a heterocyclic group having aromatic character and embraces aromatic monocyclic ring systems and polycyclic (e.g. bicyclic) ring systems containing one or more aromatic rings. The term aromatic heterocyclyl also encompasses pseudoaromatic heterocyclyls. The term “pseudoaromatic” refers to a ring system which is not strictly aromatic, but which is stabilized by means of delocalization of electrons and behaves in a similar manner to aromatic rings. The term aromatic heterocyclyl therefore covers polycyclic ring systems in which all of the fused rings are aromatic as well as ring systems where one or more rings are non-aromatic, provided that at least one ring is aromatic. In polycyclic systems containing both aromatic and non-aromatic rings fused together, the group may be attached to another moiety by the aromatic ring or by a non-aromatic ring. Examples of heteroaryl groups are monocyclic and bicyclic groups containing from five to ten ring members. The heteroaryl group can be, for example, a five membered or six membered monocyclic ring or a bicyclic structure formed from fused five and six membered rings or two fused six membered rings or two fused five membered rings. Each ring may contain up to about four heteroatoms typically selected from nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen. The heteroaryl ring will contain up to 4 heteroatoms, more typically up to 3 heteroatoms, more usually up to 2, for example a single heteroatom. In one embodiment, the heteroaryl ring contains at least one ring nitrogen atom. The nitrogen atoms in the heteroaryl rings can be basic, as in the case of an imidazole or pyridine, or essentially non-basic as in the case of an indole or pyrrole nitrogen. In general the number of basic nitrogen atoms present in the heteroaryl group, including any amino group substituents of the ring, will be less than five. Aromatic heterocyclyl groups may be 5-membered or 6-membered mono-cyclic aromatic ring systems. Examples of 5-membered monocyclic heteroaryl groups include but are not limited to furanyl, thienyl, pyrrolyl, oxazolyl, oxadiazolyl (including 1,2,3 and 1,2,4 oxadiazolyls and furazanyl i.e.1,2,5-oxadiazolyl), thiazolyl, isoxazolyl, isothiazolyl, pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, triazolyl (including 1,2,3, 1,2,4 and 1,3,4 triazolyls), oxatriazolyl, tetrazolyl, thiadiazolyl (including 1,2,3 and 1,3,4 thiadiazolyls) and the like. Examples of 6-membered monocyclic heteroaryl groups include but are not limited to pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazinyl, triazinyl, pyranyl, oxazinyl, dioxinyl, thiazinyl, thiadiazinyl and the like. Examples of 6-membered aromatic heterocyclyls containing nitrogen include pyridyl (1 nitrogen), pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl and pyridazinyl (2 nitrogens). Aromatic heterocyclyl groups may also be bicyclic or polycyclic heteroaromatic ring systems such as fused ring systems (including purine, pteridinyl, napthyridinyl, 1H thieno[2,3-c]pyrazolyl, thieno[2,3-b]furyl and the like) or linked ring systems (such as oligothiophene, polypyrrole and the like). Fused ring systems may also include aromatic 5-membered or 6-membered heterocyclyls fused to carbocyclic aromatic rings such as phenyl, naphtyl, indenyl, azulenyl, fluorenyl, anthracenyl and the like, such as 5- membered aromatic heterocyclyls containing nitrogen fused to phenyl rings, 5- membered aromatic heterocyclyls containing 1 or 2 nitrogens fused to phenyl ring.

The term “halo” refers to fluoro, chloro, bromo or iodo. Unless otherwise defined, the term “optionally substituted” or “optional substituent” as used herein refers to a group which may or may not be further substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4 or more groups, preferably 1, 2 or 3, more preferably 1 or 2 groups selected from the group consisting of C1-6alkyl, C2-6alkenyl, C2-6alkynyl, C3-8cycloalkyl, hydroxyl, oxo, C1- 6alkoxy, aryloxy, C1-6alkoxyaryl, halo, C1-6alkylhalo (such as CF3), C1-6alkoxyhalo (such as OCF ³ ), carboxyl, esters, cyano, nitro, amino, substituted amino, disubstituted amino, acyl, ketones, substituted ketones, amides, aminoacyl, substituted amides, disubstituted amides, thiol, alkylthio, thioxo, sulfates, sulfonates, sulfinyl, substituted sulfinyl, sulfonyl, substituted sulfonyl, sulfonylamides, substituted sulfonamides, disubstituted sulfonamides, aryl, arylC1-6alkyl, heterocyclyl and heteroaryl wherein each alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, aryl and heterocyclyl and groups containing them may be further optionally substituted. Optional substituents in the case of heterocycles containing N may also include but are not limited to C1-6alkyl i.e. N-C1-3alkyl, more preferably methyl particularly N-methyl. For optionally substituted “C1-6alkyl”, “C2-6alkenyl” and “C2-6alkynyl”, the optional substituent or substituents are preferably selected from halo, aryl, heterocyclyl, C3-8cycloalkyl, C1-6alkoxy, hydroxyl, oxo, aryloxy, haloC1-6alkyl, haloC1-6alkoxyl and carboxyl. Each of these optional substituents may also be optionally substituted with any of the optional substituents referred to above, where nitro, amino, substituted amino, cyano, heterocyclyl (including non-aromatic heterocyclyl and heteroaryl), C1-6alkyl, C2-6akenyl, C2-6alkynyl, C1-6alkoxyl, haloC1-6alkyl, haloC1-6alkoxy, halo, hydroxyl and carboxyl are preferred. It will be understood that suitable derivatives of aromatic heterocyclyls containing nitrogen include N-oxides thereof. In the case of hybrid naming of substituent radicals describing two moieties that may both form a bond attaching the radical to the rest of the compound, such as alkylamino and alkylaryl, no direction in the order of groups is intended, so the point of attachment may be to any of the moieties included in the hybrid radical. For example, the terms “alkylaryl” and “arylalkyl”, are intended to refer to the same group and the point of attachment may be via the alkyl or the aryl moiety (or both in the case of diradical species). The direction of attachment of such a hybrid radical may be denoted by inclusion of a bond, for example, “-alkylaryl” or “arylalkyl-“ denotes that the point of attachment of the radical to the rest of the compound is via the alkyl moiety, and “alkylaryl-“ or “-arylalkyl” denotes that the point of attachment is via the aryl moiety. As used herein, except where the context requires otherwise, the term "comprise" and variations of the term, such as "comprising", "comprises" and "comprised", are not intended to exclude further additives, components, integers or steps. It must be noted that as used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” include plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, a reference to “a salt” may include a plurality of salts and a reference to “at least one heteroatom” may include one or more heteroatoms, and so forth. The term “and/or” can mean “and” or “or”. The term “(s)” following a noun contemplates the singular or plural form, or both. Various features of the invention are described with reference to a certain value, or range of values. These values are intended to relate to the results of the various appropriate measurement techniques, and therefore should be interpreted as including a margin of error inherent in any particular measurement technique. Some of the values referred to herein are denoted by the term “about” to at least in part account for this variability. The term “about”, when used to describe a value, may mean an amount within ±10%, ±5%, ±1% or ±0.1% of that value. Further aspects of the present invention and further embodiments of the aspects described in the preceding paragraphs will become apparent from the following description, given by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed description of embodiments The inventors have shown that compounds of the invention are allosteric modulators of OT activity at the OTR.

In another aspect, there is also provided a process for preparing a compound of formula (I) or a salt, solvate, tautomer, N-oxide, stereoisomer and/or prodrug thereof. In one aspect there is provided a c A Aompound of formula ( w 32 A A41 NHZ1 Z Z23III) herein A ¹ , A ² , A ³ , A ⁴ , Z ¹ , Z ² , Z ³ are as defined herein. In some embodiments, a compound of formula (I) is prepared from a compound of a formula (III) wherein A ¹ , A ² , A ³ , A ⁴ , Z ¹ , Z ² , Z ³ are as def A A in32ed A A41 herein NH.

Methods In another aspect, there is provided a method for modulating OT activity at the OTR, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a compound according to Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, N-oxide, stereoisomer and/or prodrug thereof. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the compounds of the invention bind to an allosteric site of OTR, and it is through this allosteric binding that the activity of OT at the OTR is modulated. It is therefore believed, that through this modulation any disease, conditions and/or disorder associated with OT activity and mediated by the OTR may be treated with the compounds of Formula (I). The present invention therefore includes methods and uses of the compounds described herein, for the treatment of any disease or condition associated with reduced OT activity, or for which modulation of the OTR would be beneficial. Intranasal oxytocin has been used in clinical trials for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), social anxiety disorder, frontotemporal dementia and schizophrenia. While some trials have shown improvements in social behaviour, others have found no effect, or even an induction of antisocial behaviour, such as aggression or impairments in social cognition. These inconclusive results may be due to the significant problems inherent in using intranasal OT to activate the OTR. Such limitations include: a) having an unknown concentration enter the brain. As a neuropeptide, OT does not rapidly cross the blood-brain barrier. It has been estimated that only 0.002-0.005% of intranasal OT enters the brain, and while levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) OT increase significantly compared to placebo in humans, it is still unclear what receptor occupancy this corresponds to and whether the concentration is adequate to alter behaviour. b) poor stability. OT has a half-life of 3-8 min in blood after administration to rats, potentially indicating a low period of activity. c) potential non-selective activation of vasopressin receptors. The neuropeptide vasopressin shares seven of the nine amino acids to that of OT. The vasopressin receptor family consists of 3 receptors (V1aR, V1bR and V2R), and homology between these receptors and the OTR varies from 40-85%, with the highest homology between the OTR and V1aR. OT can bind the V1aR with nanomolar affinity (e.g.78 nM at rat V1aR, 120 nM human V1aR), and activation of the V1aR can have the opposite effect on behaviour compared to OTR activation. Such limitations of OT and intranasal OT administration highlight the importance of developing improved methods to specifically target the OTR. As used herein, the term "effective amount" means that amount of a drug or pharmaceutical agent that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought, for instance, by a researcher or clinician. Furthermore, the term "therapeutically effective amount" means any amount which, as compared to a corresponding subject who has not received such amount, results in improved treatment, healing, prevention, or amelioration of a disease, disorder, or side effect, or a decrease in the rate of advancement of a disease or disorder. The term also includes within its scope amounts effective to enhance normal physiological function. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, administration of a compound according to Formula (I) inhibits a conformational change of OTR. It is envisaged that some compounds of the present disclosure can bind to OTR in various species and modulate OT activity. In another aspect, there is provided use of a compound of Formula (I) a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, N-oxide, stereoisomer and/or prodrug thereof in the preparation of a medicament for modulating OT activity at the OTR.

Modulation of OTR activity may include agonism, partial agonism, super agonism, reverse agonism, antagonism or partial antagonism of the OTR. In another aspect, there is provided a method of agonising OTR, comprising contacting a cell with an effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or a salt, solvate, tautomer, N-oxide, stereoisomer and/or prodrug thereof. The salts of the compounds of Formula (I) are preferably pharmaceutically acceptable, but it will be appreciated that non-pharmaceutically acceptable salts also fall within the scope of the present disclosure, for example, as these may be useful as intermediates in the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts or in methods not requiring administration to a subject. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” may be used to describe any salt, solvate, tautomer, N-oxide, stereoisomer and/or prodrug thereof, or any other compound which upon administration to a subject, is capable of providing (directly or indirectly) a compound of Formula (I) or an active metabolite or residue thereof and typically that is not deleterious to the subject. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, salts of pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric, nitric, carbonic, boric, sulfamic, and hydrobromic acids, or salts of pharmaceutically acceptable organic acids such as acetic, propionic, butyric, tartaric, maleic, hydroxymaleic, fumaric, malic, citric, lactic, mucic, gluconic, benzoic, succinic, oxalic, phenylacetic, methanesulphonic, toluenesulphonic, benzenesulphonic, salicylic, sulphanilic, aspartic, glutamic, edetic, stearic, palmitic, oleic, lauric, pantothenic, tannic, ascorbic and valeric acids. Base salts include, but are not limited to, those formed with pharmaceutically acceptable cations, such as sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, ammonium, alkylammonium such as salts formed from triethylamine, alkoxyammonium such as those formed with ethanolamine and salts formed from ethylenediamine, choline or amino acids such as arginine, lysine or histidine. General information on types of pharmaceutically acceptable salts and their formation is known to those skilled in the art and is as described in general texts such as “Handbook of Pharmaceutical salts” P.H.Stahl, C.G.Wermuth, 1st edition, 2002, Wiley-VCH. In the case of compounds that are solids, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the inventive compounds, agents and salts may exist in different crystalline or polymorphic forms, all of which are intended to be within the scope of the present invention and specified formulae. The invention includes all crystalline forms of a compound of Formula (I) including anhydrous crystalline forms, hydrates, solvates and mixed solvates. If any of these crystalline forms demonstrates polymorphism, all polymorphs are within the scope of this invention. Formula (I) is intended to cover, where applicable, solvated as well as unsolvated forms of the compounds. Thus, Formula (I) includes compounds having the indicated structures, including the hydrated or solvated forms, as well as the non-hydrated and non-solvated forms. The compounds of Formula (I) or salts, tautomers, N-oxides, polymorphs or prodrugs thereof may be provided in the form of solvates. Solvates contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of a solvent, and may be formed during the process of crystallization with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol or isopropyl alcohol, DMSO, acetonitrile, dimethyl formamide (DMF), acetic acid, and the like with the solvate forming part of the crystal lattice by either non-covalent binding or by occupying a hole in the crystal lattice. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. Solvates of the compounds of the present invention can be conveniently prepared or formed during the processes described herein. In general, the solvated forms are considered equivalent to the unsolvated forms for the purposes of the invention. Basic nitrogen-containing groups may be quarternised with such agents as C1-6alkyl halide, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl chlorides, bromides and iodides; dialkyl sulfates like dimethyl and diethyl sulfate; and others. Nitrogen containing groups may also be oxidised to form an N-oxide. The compound of Formula (I) or salts, tautomers, N-oxides, solvates and/or prodrugs thereof that form crystalline solids may demonstrate polymorphism. All polymorphic forms of the compounds, salts, tautomers, N-oxides, solvates and/or prodrugs are within the scope of the invention. The compound of Formula (I) may demonstrate tautomerism. Tautomers are two interchangeable forms of a molecule that typically exist within an equilibrium. Any tautomers of the compounds of Formula (I) are to be understood as being within the scope of the invention. The compound of Formula (I) may contain one or more stereocentres. All stereoisomers of the compounds of formula (I) are within the scope of the invention. Stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, geometric isomers (E and Z olephinic forms and cis and trans substitution patterns) and atropisomers. In some embodiments, the compound is a stereoisomerically enriched form of the compound of formula (I) at any stereocentre. The compound may be enriched in one stereoisomer over another by at least about 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 98 or 99%. The compound of Formula (I) or its salts, tautomers, solvates, N-oxides, and/or stereoisomers, may be isotopically enriched with one or more of the isotopes of the atoms present in the compound. For example, the compound may be enriched with one or more of the following minor isotopes: ² H, ³ H, ¹³ C, ¹⁴ C, ¹⁵ N and/or ¹⁷ O. An isotope may be considered enriched when its abundance is greater than its natural abundance. A "prodrug" is a compound that may not fully satisfy the structural requirements of the compounds provided herein, but is modified in vivo, following administration to a subject or patient, to produce a compound of formula (I) provided herein. For example, a prodrug may be an acylated derivative of a compound as provided herein. Prodrugs include compounds wherein hydroxy, carboxy, amine or sulfhydryl groups are bonded to any group that, when administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxy, carboxy, amino, or sulfhydryl group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate, phosphate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol and amine functional groups within the compounds provided herein. Prodrugs of the compounds provided herein may be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compounds in such a way that the modifications are cleaved in vivo to generate the parent compounds. Prodrugs include compounds wherein an amino acid residue, or a polypeptide chain of two or more (eg, two, three or four) amino acid residues which are covalently joined to free amino, and amido groups of compounds of Formula (I). The amino acid residues include the 20 naturally occurring amino acids commonly designated by three letter symbols and also include, 4-hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine, demosine, isodemosine, 3- methylhistidine, norvlin, beta-alanine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, citrulline, homocysteine, homoserine, ornithine and methionine sulfone. Prodrugs also include compounds wherein carbonates, carbamates, amides and alkyl esters which are covalently bonded to the above substituents of Formula (I) through the carbonyl carbon prodrug sidechain. Pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated from compounds according to Formula (I) for any appropriate route of administration including, for example, oral, rectal, nasal, vaginal, topical (including transdermal, buccal, ocular and sublingual), parenteral (including subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intradermal, intravascular (for example, intravenous), intramuscular, spinal, intracranial, intrathecal, intraocular, periocular, intraorbital, intrasynovial and intraperitoneal injection, intracisternal injection as well as any other similar injection or infusion techniques), inhalation, insufflation, infusion or implantation techniques (e.g., as sterile injectable aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions). In certain embodiments, compositions in a form suitable for oral use or parenteral use are preferred. Suitable oral forms include, for example, tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. For intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intraperitoneal administration, one or more compounds may be combined with a sterile aqueous solution which is preferably isotonic with the blood of the recipient. Such formulations may be prepared by dissolving solid active ingredient in water containing physiologically compatible substances such as sodium chloride or glycine, and having a buffered pH compatible with physiological conditions to produce an aqueous solution, and rendering said solution sterile. The formulations may be present in unit or multi- dose containers such as sealed ampoules or vials. Examples of components are described in Martindale – The Extra Pharmacopoeia (Pharmaceutical Press, London 1993), and Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Ed., 2005, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. All methods include the step of bringing the active ingredient, for example a compound defined by Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, into association with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the pharmaceutical compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing the active ingredient, for example a compound defined by Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, into association with a liquid carrier or a finely divided solid carrier or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation. In the pharmaceutical composition the active object compound is included in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect. In some embodiments, the method of the invention comprises administering a pharmaceutical comprising a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent and/or excipient. In the context of this specification the term “administering” and variations of that term including “administer” and “administration”, includes contacting, applying, delivering or providing a compound or composition of the invention to an organism, or a surface by any appropriate means. For the modulation of OTR, the dose of the biologically active compound according to the invention may vary within wide limits and may be adjusted to individual requirements. Active compounds according to the present invention are generally administered in a therapeutically effective amount. The daily dose may be administered as a single dose or in a plurality of doses. The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the subject treated and the particular mode of administration. It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level for any particular subject will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the subject, time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion, drug combination (i.e. other drugs being used to treat the subject), and the severity of the particular disorder undergoing therapy. Such treatments may be administered as often as necessary and for the period of time judged necessary by the treating physician. A person skilled in the art will appreciate that the dosage regime or therapeutically effective amount of the compound of formula (I) to be administered may need to be optimized for each individual. It will also be appreciated that different dosages may be required for treating different disorders. The terms “treating”, “treatment” and “therapy” are used herein to refer to curative therapy, prophylactic therapy and preventative therapy. Thus, in the context of the present disclosure the term “treating” encompasses curing, ameliorating or tempering the severity of the disease, condition and/or disorder associated with modulation of OT activity at the OTR, or their symptoms. “Preventing” or "prevention" means preventing the occurrence of disease, condition and/or disorder associated with modulation of OT activity at the OTR or their symptoms, or tempering the severity of the disease, condition and/or disorder associated with modulation of OT activity at the OTR, or their symptoms, if symptoms exhibit subsequent to the administration of the compounds or pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention. “Subject” includes any human or non-human animal. Thus, in addition to being useful for human treatment, the compounds of the present invention may also be useful for veterinary treatment of mammals, including companion animals and farm animals, such as, but not limited to dogs, cats, horses, cows, sheep, and pigs. The compounds of the present invention may be administered along with a pharmaceutical carrier, diluent and/or excipient as described above. The methods of the present disclosure can be used to prevent or treat any disease, condition and/or disorder where OTR modulation would be beneficial. These disease(s), conditions(s) and/or disorder(s) therefore include any previously described for any OTR orthosteric ligand, including those described in WO 03/000692 A2, WO 2005/023812 A2, WO 2017/004674 A1, WO2018/107216 A1 and WO 2019/060692 A1. In some embodiments, the disease, condition and/or disorder may be selected from a sexual disorder (such as male erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory disorders, female sexual dysfunction and so on), cancer (such as cancer of the prostate, breast, ovary or bone), osteoporosis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, post-partum bleeding, abnormal labour (such as inducing labour, pre-term labour, delivery of placenta and so on), a psychiatric disorder that features anti-social behaviour as a primary or secondary feature (such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), schizophrenia, depression, and so on), substance abuse disorder (such as alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine), a social dysfunction (such as anti-social behaviour), and a combination thereof. The disease, condition and/or disorder may also include neurodegenerative diseases (such as frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative diseases), characterised by neuropsychiatric and anti-social behaviours. In some embodiments, the compound of the invention may be administered in combination with a further active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The API may be any that is suitable for treating any of the diseases, conditions and/or disorders associated with OT activity at the OTR, such as those described herein. The compound of the invention may be co-formulated with the further API in any of the pharmaceutical compositions described herein, or the compound of the invention may be administered in a concurrent, sequential or separate manner. Concurrent administration includes administering the compound of the invention at the same time as the other API, whether coformulated or in separate dosage forms administered through the same or different route. Sequential administration includes administering, by the same or different route, the compound of the invention and the other API according to a resolved dosage regimen, such as within about 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 hours of the other. When sequentially administered, the compound of the invention may be administered before or after administration of the other API. Separate administration includes administering the compound of the invention and the other API according to regimens that are independent of each other and by any route suitable for either active, which may be the same or different. The methods may comprise administering the compound of Formula (I) in any pharmaceutically acceptable form. In some embodiments, the compound of Formula (I) is provided in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, N-oxide, polymorph, tautomer or prodrug thereof, or a combination of these forms in any ratio. The methods may also comprise administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, N-oxide, polymorph, tautomer or prodrug thereof to the subject in need thereof. The pharmaceutical composition may comprise any pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent and/or excipient described herein. The compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, N-oxide, polymorph, tautomer or prodrug thereof, may be administered by any suitable means, for example, orally, rectally, nasally, vaginally, topically (including buccal and sub- lingual), parenterally, such as by subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intravenous, intramuscular, or intracisternal injection, inhalation, insufflation, infusion or implantation techniques (e.g., as sterile injectable aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions). The compounds of the invention may be provided as pharmaceutical compositions including those for oral, rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal and sub-lingual), parenteral administration (including intramuscular, intraperitoneal, sub-cutaneous and intravenous), or in a form suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation. The compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, together with a conventional adjuvant, carrier or diluent, may thus be placed into the form of pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosages thereof, and in such form may be employed as solids, such as tablets or filled capsules, or liquids as solutions, suspensions, emulsions, elixirs or capsules filled with the same, all for oral use, or in the form of sterile injectable solutions for parenteral (including subcutaneous) use. Kits Also provided is a kit of parts, comprising in separate parts: ^ a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, N- oxide, polymorph, tautomer or prodrug thereof; and ^ instructions for its use in any of the methods of the invention.

Compounds where R ^a is C(O)R ¹ may be prepared according to the general amide bond formation procedure shown below. Scheme 1. General synthesis of compounds of formula (I) where R ^a is C(O)R ¹ Step 1 A magnetically stirred solution of ethyl indole-2-carboxylate (1.00 g, 5.29 mmol, 1.0 eq.) in DMF (5 mL) was treated with N-chlorosuccinimide (0.776 g, 5.81 mmol, 1.1 eq.) at r.t. for 2 h. Upon completion of the reaction, the mixture was poured into ice-cold water (15 mL). The precipitate was filtered off and washed with water, followed by hexane to give a colourless powder (1.06 g, 89%). Step 2 A magnetically stirred solution of ethyl 3-chloro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (1.00 g, 4.5 mmol, 1 eq.) in DMF (10 mL) was treated with NaH (215 mg, 5.4 mmol, 1.2 eq.) at 0 °C. After stirring for 30 mins, TsCl (850 mg, 4.5 mmol, 1 eq.) was added and the reaction was stirred for 2 h. The reaction was diluted with water (100 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3 x 40 mL). The organic fractions were combined, washed with LiCl (5% w/v, 2 x 15 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was subjected to flash column chromatography (silica gel, EtOAc:hexane = 1:20) to afford ethyl 3-chloro-1-tosyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylate as a white solid (1.59 g, 94%). Step 3 A magnetically stirred solution of ethyl 3-chloro-1-tosyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (1.00 g, 2.65 mmol, 1 eq.) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL) at 78 °C was treated dropwise with a solution of DIBAl-H in hexane (1.0 M, 5.29 mL, 5.29 mmol, 2 eq.) for 2 h. Upon completion of the reaction, the mixture was quenched with portion-wise addition of Glauber's salt (2.00 g) and stirred for 4 h. The suspension was filtered and filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in CHCl3 (20 mL) and treated with MnO2 (770 mg, 4.5 mmol, 15 eq.) and the mixture brought to reflux for 18 h. Upon completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to r.t. and filtered through Celite®, washing with CHCl3, and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to afford 3-chloro-1-tosyl-1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde as a white solid (652 mg, 74%). Step 4 A magnetically stirred solution of 3-chloro-1-tosyl-1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde (600 mg, 1.8 mmol, 1 eq.) in DMF (3 mL) was treated with methylhydrazine (95 µL, 1.8 mmol, 1 eq.) and stirred at 70 °C for 4 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature. Copper(I) iodide (34 mg, 0.18 mmol, 0.1 eq.), trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (47 mg, 0.36 mmol, 0.2 eq.) and Cs2CO3 (1.17 g, 3.6 mmol, 2 eq.) were added to the reaction mixture and heated to 90 °C for 24 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled and diluted with water (20 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3 x 15 mL). The organic fractions were combined, washed with LiCl (5% w/v, 2 x 10 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was subjected to flash column chromatography (silica gel, EtOAc:hexane = 3:7) to afford 1-methyl-4-tosyl-1,4-dihydropyrazolo[4,3-b]indole as a white solid (430 mg, 74%). Step 5 A solution of 1-methyl-4-tosyl-1,4-dihydropyrazolo[4,3-b]indole (400 mg, 1.2 mmol, 1 eq.) in MeOH (6 mL) was treated with KOH (275 mg, 4.9 mmol, 5 eq.) and the reaction was then heated to reflux for 6 h. Upon completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed in vacuo and residue taken up in water (15 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3 x 10 mL). The organic fractions were combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was recrystallised with CH ² Cl ² /hexane to afford 1-methyl- 1,4-dihydropyrazolo[4,3-b]indole as a white solid (202 mg, 96%). General amide formation A magnetically stirred solution of amine (1 eq.) in THF was added NaH (1.2 eq.) followed by acid chloride (1.2 eq.) of the formula R ³ C(O)Cl, wherein R ³ is as defined for formula (I). Upon completion of the reaction, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo, taken up in NaHCO3, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 20 mL). The organic fractions were combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude oil was subjected to column chromatography (silica gel) to afford the title product. Example 1.2 – Synthesis of compounds 1-27, 29-30 Compounds 1-27, 29-30 were prepared according to the General Synthesis A described in example 1.1. Characterisation data for each of these compounds are provided below. As indicated, each compound was characterised by melting point (MP), infrared spectroscopy (IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( ¹ H NMR), carbon NMR ( ¹³ C NMR), fluorine NMR ( ¹⁹ F NMR; where appropriate), low resolution mass spectrometry (LRMS) in positive electrospray ionisation mode (ESI ⁺ ), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) also in ESI ⁺ and by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Melting points were measured with open capillaries using a Stanford Research Systems (SRS) MPA160 melting point apparatus with a ramp rate of 0.5–2.0 °C/min and are uncorrected. Infrared absorption spectra were recorded on a Bruker ALPHA FT-IR spectrometer, and the data are reported as vibrational frequency (cm–1). Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were recorded at 298 K unless stated otherwise, using either a Bruker AVANCE DRX200 (200 MHz), DRX300 (300 MHz), DRX400 (400.1 MHz), or AVANCE III 500 Ascend (500.1 MHz) spectrometer. The data is reported as the chemical shift (δ ppm) relative to the solvent residual peak, relative integral, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, m = multiplet, b = broad, dd = doublet of doublets, etc.), coupling constant (J Hz). Low resolution mass spectra (LRMS) were recorded using electrospray ionisation (ESI). High resolution mass spectra were run on a Bruker 7T Apex Qe Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer equipped with an Apollo II ESI/APCI/MALDI Dual source. Samples run by ESI were directly infused (150 μL/hr) using a Cole Palmer syringe pump. Analytical HPLC purity traces were taken on a Waters 2695 Separations module equipped with Waters 2996 Photodiode Array detector (set at 230, 254 and 271 nm). All samples were eluted through a Waters SunFire™ C185 μm column (2.1x150 mm) using a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min of Solvent A: MilliQ water (+0.1% trifluoroacetic acid or 0.1% formic acid) and Solvent B: acetonitrile (+0.1% trifluoroacetic acid or 0.1% formic acid). This method consisted of gradient elution (0-100% Solvent A:B over 30 minutes). Chiral HPLC traces were taken on a Waters 2695 Alliance HPLC equipped with Waters 2996 PDA detector. All samples were eluted through a Daicel OD-H column (0.46 x 25 cm) using a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min of Solvent A: hexane and Solvent B: isopropanol. This method consisted of a gradient elution (0-100% Solvent A:B over 30 minutes). Data acquisition and processing were performed with the Waters Empower 2 software. Reported data for all compounds are based on the 254 nm channel. Compound 1.

The brown oily residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel; 1:9 v/v ethyl acetate–hexane) to give the 1-phenyl-1,4-dihydropyrazolo[4,3-b]indole (322 mg, 55%) as an off-white solid. 1-phenyl-1,4-dihydropyrazolo[4,3-b]indole was subjected to the genral amide synthesis conditions described in Exanple 1.1 to afford Compound 41. ¹ H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.74 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.89 – 7.78 (m, 2H), 7.79 – 7.76 (m, 1H), 7.75 – 7.69 (m, 1H), 7.64 – 7.54 (m, 2H), 7.51 – 7.38 (m, 2H), 7.30 (td, J = 7.5, 1.1 Hz, 1H), 3.11 (tt, J = 11.5, 3.3 Hz, 1H), 2.21 – 2.07 (m, 2H), 2.01 – 1.94 (m, 2H), 1.88 – 1.65 (m, 3H), 1.59 – 1.28 (m, 3H); ¹³ C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl ³ ) δ 174.7, 143.2, 140.2, 133.6, 129.9, 129.7, 127.8, 127.4, 125.4, 123.8, 122.3, 119.0, 118.9, 117.1, 44.9, 29.1, 25.9, 25.9; HPLC: 95.31%, RT: 33.01 min. Example 2 – OTR modulation The ability of compounds 1-7, 10, 12-14,16, 23, 29, 31-33, 35, 37 and 42-43 to modulate the increase of intracellular IP1 and Ca ²⁺ evoked by oxytocin on HEK cells stably transfected with the OTR using the Flp-In TREX system (Invitrogen) was investigated. These assays were performed using commercial kits (IP1 HTRF from Cisbio and Fluo-4AM from Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were exposed to a dose-response concentration range of oxytocin in the presence, and absence, of 10 µM of compounds to identify compounds that induced a leftward shift in the oxytocin dose-response curve. Compounds 1-6 were tested in 8 groups, namely compounds 1-3 (results in Table 2 below), compounds 4-6 (results in Table 3 below), compounds 12, 13 and 23 (results in Table 4 below), compounds 31-33 (results in Table 5 below), compounds 42-43 (results in Table 6 below), compounds 7, 10, 14, 16, 37 (results in Table 7 below), compound 29 (results in Table 8 below) and compound 35 (result in Table 9 below).

Example 3 – OTR allosteric modulation parameters Calcium (Ca ²⁺ ) influx induced by OT in the presence various concentrations of compound 3 was measured in the HEK assay described in Example 2. This assay was performed with 6 different concentrations of compound 3 (0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.3, 1 and 10 µM) to determine dose-response. The results are shown in Table 10 and Figure 3. Table 10. Ca ²⁺ -influx induced by OT in presence of different concentrations of compound 3. These results show that the compounds of the invention are able to positively modulate the activity of OT in a dose dependent manner. Example 4 – Tritiated OT displacement with compounds 1, 2 and 3 The ability of compounds 1, 2 and 3 to displace the binding of a Kd concentration of ³ H- OT was also probed, according to methods described in Eur J Med Chem 143:1644- 1656. None of compounds 1, 2 or 3 displaced ³ H-OT at a concentration up to 10 ^M, suggesting that the mode of action is mediated by binding to an allosteric site on the OTR. It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that numerous variations and/or modifications may be made to the above-described embodiments, without departing from the broad general spirit and scope of the present disclosure. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
