Description:
SUBSTITUTED 3-HETEROARYLOXY-3-(HETERO)ARYL-PROPYLAMINES AS SEROTONIN

TRANSPORTER AND SEROTONIN HT2C RECEPTOR MODULATORS

Field of the invention

The present invention relates to the preparation of certain substituted phenyl propyl amine compounds possessing serotonin (5-HT) transporter inhibitory effects and 5-HT 2 c receptor antagonist or inverse agonist effects, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of using them for application in the prophylaxis or treatment of CNS disorders.

Background of the invention

Serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRI) such as fluoxetine, citalopram, sertraline and paroxetine act by blocking the serotonin transporter and are the first drugs of choice for the treatment of depression and other affective disorders such as major anxiety disorder and panic disorder. However, SSRI's are not optimal and patients using these drugs suffer from side effects including sexual dysfunction and sleeping problems. Moreover, a high percentage of the patients do not respond, or only poorly, to treatment with SSRI's. Furthermore, SSRI's have a rather slow onset of action (4-8 weeks) due to complicated neurobiological adaptive mechanisms. In order to shorten the on-set time several augmentation strategies have been proposed, which result in a more rapid increase in 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) than SSRI's alone (A. Adell et al., Drug discovery Today, 2005, 578-585; incorporated by reference). One approach used is combining SSRI's with 5-HT 2 c antagonists/inverse agonists (T.I.F.H. Cremers et al., Neurophsychopharmacology, 2004, 1782-1789; T.I.F.H. Cremers et al. Neurophsychopharmacology, 2007, 1550-1557; US 2002/0103249, US 2003/0032636, US 2007/0105843, US 2009/0176808; all incorporated by reference). US 2005/0070577, incorporated by reference, discloses compositions comprising a 5-HT 2 A receptor antagonists and an SSRI.

Fluoxetine is disclosed in US 4.314.081, incorporated by reference, and has the formula:

Similar compounds are for example disclosed in US 4.956.388, US 5.145.870 and US 5.238.959, all incorporated by reference.

WO 02/14273, incorporated by reference, discloses certain indole derivatives which are 5-HT 2 c receptor antagonists.

US 6.369.060, incorporated by reference, discloses pyridazine and pyridine indole carboxamides of the general formula:

These compounds are 5-HT 2 c receptor antagonists.

US 2009/0258876, incorporated by reference, discloses indole carboxylic acid bispyridiyl carboxamide derivatives as 5-HT 2 c receptor antagonists.

US 6.462.056, incorporated by reference, discloses oxazolidine derivatives of the general formula:

These compounds are 5-HT 2 A receptor antagonists with a 5-HT reuptake- inhibiting effect. US 7.291.738, incorporated by reference, discloses compounds of the general formula:

wherein R 1 is for example (substituted) aryl, (substituted) heteroaryl. These compounds are 5-HT2c receptor ligands.

In order to avoid e.g. potential drug-drug interactions for drug combinations (2 tablets, 2 drugs) and fixed dose combinations (1 tablet, 2 drugs), compounds have been developed modulating the activity of multiple biological targets. Series of arylpiperazine pyrrole 3-carboxamides, pyrimidin 4-carboxamides and aryl piperazine purine derivatives were prepared for combined targeting of the serotonin transporter (5-

HTT) and the serotonin 5-HT 2a and 5-HT 2c receptors (S.Y. Kang et al., Bioorg. Med.

Chem.Lett., 2010, 1705-1711; J.Y. Kim et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem.Lett., 2010, 6439- 6442; S.Y. Kang et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem.Lett., 2010, 6156-6169; US 201 1/0178091;

WO 2011/005052; WO 2011/059207; all incorporated by reference).

However, there is still an unmet need for compounds that are potent serotonin 5-

HT 2c receptors and serotonin transporter modulators with desirable pharmaceutical properties.

5HT r and 5HT?A functional assay

The development of an AequoScreen® calcium assay for the serotonin 5HT 2 c and 5HT 2A receptors was guided by an article of Brini et al (J. Biol. Chem. 1995; 270: 9896-9903).

The AequoScreen® assay is a cellular aequorin-based assay in which cells are loaded with the apoaequorin cofactor coelenterazine. Aequorin is a photoprotein originating from the jellyfish Aequorea Victoria. The apo-enzyme (apoaequorin) is a 21 kD protein that needs a hydrophobic prosthetic group, coelenterazine, to be converted to aequorin, the active form of the enzyme. This enzyme possesses three calcium binding sites which control its activity. Upon calcium binding, aequorin oxidizes coelenterazine into coelenteramide with production of C0 2 and emission of light. The consumption of aequorin is proportional to the calcium concentration and the measurement of the light (luminescence) emitted upon oxidation of coelenterazine is therefore a reliable tool for measurement of intracellular calcium flux resulting from the activation of the 5HT 2 c or 5HT 2 A receptor by a compound.

5ΗΤ Γ aequorin calcium assay

Commercially available frozen irradiated CHO-Kl cells expressing the human recombinant serotonin 5HT 2 c receptor were used. Agonist and antagonist dose- response experiments were performed.

The agonistic response of a compound was expressed as % of the control (i.e. the maximal response of the agonist a-methyl- 5HT was defined as 100%). The E max values were determined and EC 50 values were fitted.

In the antagonist assay, the compounds were screened in duplicate at 6 concentrations (ranging from 0.1 - 10000 nM) allowing an estimation of their IC 50 values. The results were expressed as % of the control response (i.e. the response of a- methyl-5HT at its EC 8 o value was set as 100%) and the IC50 values were calculated. Methysergide was used as reference inhibitor in each experiment (full concentration response curve 0.003 nM - 1000 nM) for the determination of its IC 50 value.
