The disclosure relates to Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds, compositions comprising an effective amount of a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound and methods to treat or prevent a condition, such as pain, comprising administering to an animal in need thereof an effective amount of a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound.

2. BACKGROUND

Chronic pain is a major contributor to disability and is the cause of much suffering. The successful treatment of severe and chronic pain is a primary goal of the physician, with opioid analgesics being preferred drugs for doing so.

Three major classes of opioid receptors in the central nervous system (CNS) have long been known, with each class having subtype receptors. These receptor classes are known as μ, κ and δ. As opiates have a high affinity for these receptors while not being endogenous to the body, research followed in order to identify and isolate the endogenous ligands to these receptors. These ligands were identified as endorphins, dynorphins and enkephalins, respectively.

Experimentation eventually led to the identification of an opioid receptor-like (ORL- 1 ) receptor with a high degree of homology to the known receptor classes. The ORL-1 receptor was classified as an opioid receptor based only on structural grounds, as the receptor did not exhibit pharmacological homology. It was initially demonstrated that non-selective ligands having a high affinity for μ, κ and δ receptors had low affinity for the ORL- 1 receptor. This characteristic, along with the fact that an endogenous ligand had not yet been discovered, led to the term "orphan receptor." See, e.g. , Henderson et ai, "The orphan opioid receptor and its endogenous ligand - nociceptin/orphanin FQ," Trends

Pharmacol. Sci. 18(8V.293-300 ( 1997).

Subsequent research led to the isolation and structure of the endogenous ligand of the ORL- 1 receptor (i.e., nociceptin; also known as orphanin FQ (OFQ)). This ligand is a seventeen amino acid peptide structurally similar to members of the opioid peptide family.

The discovery of the ORL-1 receptor presents an opportunity in drug discovery for novel compounds that can be administered for pain management or other syndromes modulated by this receptor.

In certain embodiments, the Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound is in the form of an anhydrate. The term "anhydrate" as used herein, is any crystal l ine form of a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one- Type Piperidine Compound in which water molecules are a non-integral part of the crystal. An anhydrate of a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound can be prepared, for example, by crystall ization from a solvent substantially free of water. In one embodiment, the Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type

Piperidine Compound is present as an anhydrate, i.e. , as a free base where the crystal lattice is substantial ly free of water molecules and any water molecules present are present as "surface water" (e.g. , loosely bound to the crystal's surface) as would be discernable and distinguishable to those in the art by, e.g. , thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and/or d ifferential scanning calorimetry (DSC), from water molecules that are an integral part of the crystal (e.g. , a hydrate). An anhydrate of a QuinazoIin-4(3 H)- one-Type Piperidine Compound has less than about 0.2 mole water in one embodiment, less than about 0.15 mole water in another embodiment, less than about 0.12 mole water in another embodiment, less than about 0.1 mole water in another embodiment, less than about 0.085 mole water in another embodiment, less than about 0.075 mole water in another embodiment, less than about 0.06 mole water in another embodiment, less than about 0.057 mole water in another embodiment, less than about 0.05 mole water in another embodiment, less than about 0.03 mole water in another embodiment, less than about 0.025 mole water in another embodiment, less than about 0.02 mole water in another embodiment, less than about 0.01 mole water in another embodiment, less than about 0.005 mole water in another embodiment, and less than about 0.001 mole water in another embodiment, each said embodiment taking 13 002874 into account the presence of surface water and each said embodiment being per 1 moie or a umazoim-

4(3 H)-one- Type Piperidine Compound.

In some embodiments, the Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound includes all solvates thereof. "Solvates" are known in the art and are considered in view of this disclosure to be a combination, physical association and/or solvation of a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine

Compound with a solvent molecule. This physical association can involve varying degrees of ionic and covalent bonding, including hydrogen bonding. When the solvate is of the stoichiometric type, there is a fixed ratio of the solvent molecule to Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound, e.g. , a disolvate, monosolvate or hemisolvate when the solvent molecule:Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine

Compound molecule molar ratio is 2: 1 , 1 : 1 or 1 :2, respectively. In other embodiments, the solvate is of the nonstoichiometric type. For example, the Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound crystal can contain solvent molecules in the structural voids, e.g. , channels, of the crystal lattice. In certain instances, the solvate can be isolated, for example when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. Thus, "solvate", as used herein, encompasses both solution- phase and isolatable solvates. A Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound can be present as a solvated form with a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, such as water, methanol, ethanol, and the like, and it is intended that the disclosure include both solvated and iinsolvated Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound forms. As "hydrate" relates to a particular subgroup of solvates, i.e. , where the solvent molecule is water, hydrates are included within the solvates of the disclosure. In one

embodiment, the Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound is present as a monohydrate, i.e. , as a free base where the water:Quinazol in-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound molar ratio is about 1 : 1 , e.g. , from 0.91 : 1 to 1 .09: 1 in one embodiment, from 0.94: 1 to 1 .06: 1 in another embodiment, from 0.97: 1 to 1 .03 : 1 in another embodiment, and from 0.985 : 1 to 1.01 5 : 1 in another embodiment, each said embodiment taking no account of surface water that might be present, if any.

Preparation of solvates is known in the art. For example, Caira et al. , "Preparation and Crystal

Characterization of a Polymorph, a Monohydrate, and an Ethyl Acetate Solvate of the Antifungal Fluconazole," J. Pharmaceut. Sci. , 93(3):601 -61 1 (2004), describes the preparation of solvates of fluconazole with ethyl acetate and with water. Simi lar preparations of solvates, hemisolvate, hydrates, and the like are described by Van Tonder et al, "Preparation and Physicochemical Characterization of 5 Niclosamide Solvates and 1 AAPS Pharm. Sci. Tech. , 5( l ):Article 12 (2004), and Bingham et al , "Over one hundred solvates of sulfath iazole," Chem. Comm. , pp. 603-604 (2001 ). In one embodiment, a non-limiting, process involves dissolving the QuinazoIin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound in a desired amount of the desired solvent (organic, water or mixtures thereof) at temperatures above about 20°C to about 25°C, cooling the solution at a rate sufficient to form crystals, and isolating the crystals by known methods, e.g. , filtration. Analytical techniques, for example, infrared spectroscopy, can be used to show the presence of the solvent in a crystal of the solvate.

10S In addition, one or more hydrogen, carbon or other atoms of a Quinazolin-4( j ti )-one- i ype

Piperidine Compound can be replaced by a radioactive isotope of the hydrogen, carbon or other atoms. Such a "radiolabeled", "radiolabeled form", and the like of a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound, each of which is encompassed by the present disclosure, may be useful as a research and/or diagnostic tool in metabolism pharmacokinetic studies and in binding assays.

Radiolabeled compounds of the disclosure can be prepared by methods known in the art. For example, tritiated Quinazol in-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds can be prepared by introducing tritium into the particular Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound, for example, by catalytic dehalogenation with tritium. This method can include reacting a suitably halogen-substituted precursor of a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound with tritium gas in the presence of a suitable catalyst, for example, Pd/C, in the presence or absence of a base. Other suitable metnoas ior preparing tritiated compounds can be found in Filer, "The Preparation and Characterization of Tritiated

In some embodiments, he nucleophilic component of E3 can be a heteroatom nucleophile (such as a free amine, hydroxyl, or deprotonated versions thereof) or a carbon nucleophile (such as a metallocarbon species, e.g., a Grignard reagent or organocopper reagent).

4.5.7 Scheme G - Methods for Diastereoselectively Preparing Intermediates in the

Diastereoselective Synthesis of Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds

In some embodiments, Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds are prepared diastereoselectively, i.e., yielding products with an excess of one or more diastereomers, such as endo or exo diastereomers of the piperidine ring. In certain embodiments, diastereoselective preparation „

θί Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds proceeds from diastereoselective preparation of intermediates, such as according to Scheme G:

exo-A7 R' = -Z-R ¹

exo-D2: R ^l = PG

Scheme G

As depicted in Scheme G, in some embodiments, amines of structure A4 or amine-protected compounds of structure D l (which is prepared from A l according to Scheme D) can be subject to reductive animation according to Lit 3a (U.S. Patent Appl ication Publ ication 201 0/02 16726) (e.g., by conversion to an oxime using aqueous hydroxylamine in an acidic solvent, such as acetic acid, followed by reduction by hydrogenation using a noble metal catalyst, such as platinum oxide, in a solvent, such as acetic acid) to afford the endo diastereomers of A7 or D2, respectively.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, amines of structure A4 or amine-protected compounds of structure D l can be subject to reductive amination according to Lit 3 b (Berdini et al. , "A Modified Palladium Catalyzed Reductive Amination Procedure," Tetrahedron, 58:5669-5674 (2002)) (e.g., by treatment with ammonium formate and a noble metal catalyst, such as, palladium on carbon, in a solvent, such as ethanol or methanol) to afford the endo diastereomers of A7 or D2, respectively.

In other embodiments, amines of structure A4 or amine-protected compounds of structure D l can be converted to the exo diastereomers of A7 or D2, respectively, according to the procedures of Lit 4 (Lewin et al. , "Molecular Features Associated with Polyamine Modulation of NMDA Receptors," J. Med. Chem. 41 :988-995 ( 1998)) (e.g., by reaction with aqueous hydroxylamine in a solvent, such as hexanes, to form an intermediate hydroxylamine, which can be converted to its oxime by dehydration in a solvent with a high boiling point, such as toluene, under Dean-stark conditions, followed by reduction of the oxime intermediate using a reductive metal, such as, sodium in propanol).

In these embodiments, the methods may produce, depending on the starting compound and the reagents selected, endo- l , endo-O2, exo-AT, or exo-D2 with a percent diastereomeric excess (% de) of . . . .. ₄ . . _Η , _„ _Α

at least aoout yir/o. in another embodiment, the endo-Al, endo-D2, exo-Al, or exo-uz produced has a % fife of at least about 95%. In another embodiment, the endo-Al, endo-O2, exo-Al, or exo-D2 produced has a % de of at least about 97%. In another embodiment, the endo-Al, endo-D2, exo-Al, or exo-D2 produced has a % <afe of at least about 98%. In another embodiment, the endo-Al, endo-O2, exo-Al, or exo-D2 produced has a % de of at least about 99%. In another embodiment, the endo-Al, endo-D2, exo- Al, or exo-O2 produced has a % de of greater than 99% {e.g. , 99.1 % to 99.9% or higher). In some embodiments, the above endo and exo diastereomers wil l have different spatial shapes and/or polarities and may be separable by chromatographic methods. As a result, if a given reaction produced a mixture of endo and exo diastereomers, in certain embodiments, routine chromatographic methods can be used to isolate either diastereomer or to prepare a diastereomeric mixture further enriched in a particular diastereomer. This mixture can then be iteratively purified to afford product mixtures increasingly enriched in a particular diastereomer.

In certain embodiments, endo-Al or endo-D2 prepared according to Scheme G can be further processed to afford compounds endo-C or endo-Cl, according to the procedures outlined in Schemes C, D, and E. Simi larly, in some embodiments, the exo-Al or exo-D2 prepared according to Scheme G can be further processed to afford compounds exo-C4 or exo-Cl, according to the procedures outlined in Schemes C, D, and E. It is understood that the final C4 or C7 product, which are Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one- Type Piperidine Compounds, wil l typically inherit the diastereoisomerism of the precursor compounds A7 or D2, although subsequent enrichment in one of the diastereomers is possible based on purification steps following each reaction. As noted above, the above endo and exo diastereomers may be separated and isolated using routine chromatographic methods. If a diastereomeric mixture resulting from a reaction is not separable or is only partially separable, the diastereomers may be separated after subsequent reactions that result in diastereomers that are more separable. As a result, diastereomers with the % de values noted above may be obtained. 4.5.8 Scheme H - Method for Preparing Selected Bicyclic Intermediates Corresponding to the

In certain embodiments, preparation of intermediates bearing the -Z-R ¹ Group of Quinazolin- 4(3 H)-one-Type Piperid ine Compounds proceeds according to Scheme H:

Scheme H

As depicted in Scheme H, commercially available 2-adamantanones HI , optionally substituted with one or more independently selected R groups, can undergo Baeyer-Villiger oxidation to afford a lactone (not pictured). Suitable conditions include, for example, use of trifluoroacetic acid as solvent and a peracid, such sodium percarbonate, at from about 20°C to about 30°C. In some embodiments, the lactone is then hydrolyzed to the corresponding hydroxycarboxylic acid H2, for example, by reaction with sodium hydroxide in a solvent, such as eOH or water, under reflux. During hydrolysis, the stereochemistry of the carboxyl group may epimerize from endo, relative to the bridge bearing the hydroxyl group, to exo.

In certain embodiments, the hydroxyl group of H2 can be oxidized to give a ketone (not pictured), which may then be reacted with H3, a nucleoph il ic reagent bearing an independently selected R ^z group, to afford addition product H4. In some embodiments, H4 may be dehydrated, for example, using an acid (such as methanesulfon ic acid, tosic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, etc.) in a solvent (such as toluene) by azeotropic drying, to afford the olefin H5.

In some embodiments, the olefin of H5 can be reduced with hydrogen and a catalyst, such as a noble metal catalyst (for example, palladium on carbon in a mixed solvent system, such as MeOH and EtOAc) to provide the saturated acid H6. In certain embodiments, the face of the double bond in H5 that is hydrogenated is governed by sterics and may afford H6 with the R ^z group of the double bond cis to the bridge bearing the carboxyl group (i.e., "up" in Scheme H). In other embodiments, the face of the double bond in H5 that is hydrogenated is directed by the carboxyl group (for example, by chelation of the catalyst), and may afford H6 with the R ^z group of the double bond trans to the bridge bearing the carboxyl group (i.e., "down" in Scheme H). In some embodiments wherein an alcohol ic solvent is used for the hydrogenation, reduction of H5 may afford a mixture of the saturated acid H6 and the

corresponding alcoholic ester (for example, the methyl ester of H6 if MeOH is used as solvent). In certain of such embodiments, the ester in the mixture can be hydrolyzed to the acid H6 by treating the mixture with a hydroxide source (such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, l ithium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, etc) in aqueous systems. In some embodiments, H6 can then be converted to an isocyanate (not pictured; using aipnenyl phosphorazidate, i.e., diphenylphosphoryl azide or DPPA (or an equivalent reagent) and a base (such as triethylamine in a solvent, such as toluene) in a Curtius-type reaction. In certain embodiments, the isocyanate can then be hydrolyzed to exo-amine H7, for example, using sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, etc in aqueous THF or another aprotic water miscible solvent. Amine H7 is one embodiment of A3 from Scheme A and which is used in preparing Quinazolin- 4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds according to the above Schemes.

In alternate embodiments, hydroxycarboxylic acid H2 is directly dehydrated to give H5 wherein the R ^z group in the middle of the bridge is -H. In some embodiments, H5 is then processed to H7 as described above.

Suitable conditions include, for example, exposure of J l to jc-toluenesulfonyl chloride in pyridine at a temperature of about 70°C for from about 2h to about 6h.

In some embodiments, J3 can be converted to the axo-amine J4 by conditions noted above in Lit 4 (for example, by formation of an oxime from J3 by reaction with hydroxylamine in acetic acid at a temperature from about 25°C to about 40°C, followed by subsequent reduction with sodium metal in iso- propanol and in a solvent, such as toluene, at a temperature of about 100°C).

Saturated ketone K2 can then be converted to one or both of the corresponding exo or endo bicycl ic amines exo-K4 and endo-K4 (( l R,6S)-bicyclo[4.3. 1 ]decan-8-amine) through literature methods, such as reductive amination methods discussed in Scheme A (Lit l b and 2), Scheme G (Lit 3a, 3b, and 4), and in Scheme J (Lit 4). In certain embodiments, exo-K4 or endo- .4 are prepared selectively, for example, in one or more of the diastereomeric ratios described in Scheme G for A7 and D2. In other embodiments, exo-K4 and endo- 4 are prepared as a mixture with substantial amounts of each, but are routinely separable because the two compounds are diastereomers with different physical properties. In specific embodiments, exo-K4 is prepared selectively using the procedure of Lit 4 in Scheme J (for example, by formation of an oxime from K2 by reaction with hydroxylamine in acetic acid at a temperature trom about 25°C to about 40°C, followed by subsequent reduction with sodium metal in iso- propanol and in a solvent, such as toluene, at a temperature of about 100°C), which, as noted for Scheme J, preferentially results in preparation of the exo-amine. Bicyclic amines exo-ΥΛ and endo- are embodiments of the compound H ₂ N-Z-R' (A3) used in Scheme A in preparing Quinazolin-4(3H)-one- Type Piperidine Compounds according to the above Schemes.

4.6 Therapeutic Uses of Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds

In accordance with the disclosure, the QuinazoIin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds are administered to an animal in need of treatment or prevention of a Condition.

In one embodiment, an effective amount of a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound can be used to treat or prevent any condition treatable or preventable by inhibiting the activity of the

ORL- 1 receptor. Examples of Conditions that are treatable or preventable by inhibiting the activity of the ORL-1 receptor include, but are not limited to: pain (CNS effect), memory disorders, obesity, constipation, depression, dementia, Parkinsonism, a sleep disorder, a metabolic disorder, a renal disorder, and a cardiovascular disorder.

In another embod iment, an effective amount of a Quinazol in-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine

Compound can be used to treat or prevent any condition treatable or preventable by activating the ORL- 1 receptor. Examples of Conditions that are treatable or preventable by activating the ORL- 1 receptor include, but are not l imited to, pain (PNS effect), anxiety, cough, diarrhea, blood pressure disorder (via vasodilation and via diuresis), epilepsy, anorexia/cachexia, urinary incontinence, and drug abuse.

The Quinazol in-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds can be used to treat or prevent acute or chronic pain. Examples of pain that can be treated or prevented using a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound include, but are not limited to, cancer pain, neuropathic pain, labor pain, myocardial infarction pain, pancreatic pain, colic pain, post-operative pain, headache pain, muscle pain, arthritic pain, and pain associated with a periodontal disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis.

The QuinazoI in-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds can also be used to treat or prevent pain associated with inflammation or with an inflammatory disease in an animal. Such pain can arise where there is an inflammation of the body tissue, which can be a local inflammatory response or a systemic inflammation. For example, a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound can be used to treat or prevent pain associated with inflammatory diseases including, but not l imited to, organ transplant rejection; reoxygenation injury resulting from organ transplantation {see Grupp et al. , "Protection against Hypoxia-reoxygenation in the Absence of Poly (ADP-ribose) Synthetase in Isolated Working Hearts," J. Mol. Cell Cardiol. 3J_:297-303 ( 1999)) including, but not limited to, transplantation of the heart, lung, liver, or kidney; chronic inflammatory diseases of the joints, including arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and bone diseases associated with increased bone resorption; inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ileitis, ulcerative colitis, Barrett's syndrome, and Crohn's disease; inflammatory lung diseases, 4 such as asthma, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and chronic obstructive airway disease, un iamiiiatory diseases of the eye, including corneal dystrophy, trachoma, onchocerciasis, uveitis, sympathetic ophthalmitis and endophthalmitis; chronic inflammatory disease of the gum, including gingivitis and periodontitis; tuberculosis; leprosy; inflammatory diseases of the kidney, including uremic complications, glomerulonephritis and nephrosis; inflammatory disease of the skin, including sclerodermatitis, psoriasis and eczema; inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, including chronic demyelinating diseases of the nervous system, multiple sclerosis, AIDS-related neurodegeneration and Alzheimer 's disease, infectious meningitis, encephalomyelitis, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and viral or autoimmune encephalitis; autoimmune diseases, including Type I and Type II diabetes mellitus; diabetic complications, including, but not limited to, diabetic cataract, glaucoma, retinopathy, nephropathy (such as microalbuminuria and progressive diabetic nephropathy), gangrene of the feet, atherosclerotic coronary arterial disease, peripheral arterial disease, nonketotic hyperglycemic- hyperosmolar coma, foot ulcers, joint problems, and a skin or mucous membrane complication (such as an infection, a shin spot, a candidal infection or necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum), immune-complex vasculitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); inflammatory disease of the heart, such as cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease hypercholesterolemia, and artherosclerosis; as wel l as various other diseases that can have significant inflammatory components, including preeclampsia, chronic liver failure, brain and spinal cord trauma, and cancer. A Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound can also be used to treat or prevent pain associated with inflammatory disease that can, for example, be a systemic inflammation of the body, exempl ified by gram-positive or gram negative shock, hemorrhagic or anaphylactic shock, or shock induced by cancer chemotherapy in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines, e.g. , shock associated with pro-inflammatory cytokines. Such shock can be induced, e.g. , by a chemotherapeutic agent that is administered as a treatment for cancer.

The Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds can also be used to treat or prevent pain associated with nerve injury {i. e. , neuropathic pain). Chronic neuropathic pain is a heterogenous disease state with an unclear etiology. In chronic neuropathic pain, the pain can be mediated by multiple mechanisms. This type of pain generally arises from inj ury to the peripheral or central nervous tissue. The syndromes include pain associated with spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, post-herpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, phantom pain, causalgia, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy and lower back pain. The chronic pain is different from acute pain in that chronic neuropathic pain patients suffer the abnormal pain sensations that can be described as spontaneous pain, continuous superficial burning and/or deep aching pain. The pain can be evoked by heat-, cold-, and mechano-hyperalgesia, or by heat-, cold-, or mechano-al lodynia.

Chronic neuropathic pain can be caused by injury or infection of peripheral sensory nerves. It includes, but is not limited to, pain from peripheral nerve trauma, herpes virus infection, diabetes mell itus, causalgia, plexus avulsion, neuroma, l imb amputation, and vasculitis. Neuropathic pain can also be caused by nerve damage from chronic alcoholism, human immunodeficiency virus infection, .

hypothyroidism, uremia, or vitamin deficiencies. Stroke (spinal or brain) and spinai coru injury can aiso induce neuropathic pain. Cancer-related neuropathic pain results from tumor growth compression of adjacent nerves, brain, or spinal cord. In addition, cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy, can cause nerve injury. Neuropathic pain includes but is not limited to pain caused by nerve injury such as, for example, the pain from which diabetics suffer.

The Quinazol in-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds can be used to treat or prevent a migraine including, but not limited to, migraine without aura ("common migraine"), migraine with aura ("classic migraine"), migraine without headache, basilar migraine, familial hemiplegic migraine, migrainous infarction, and migraine with prolonged aura.

The Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds can be used to treat or prevent a sleep disorder including, but not limited to, insomnia, hypersomnia, sleep deprivation, sleep apnea, dysomnia, delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS), advanced sleep phase syndrome (ASPS), non-24-hour sleep-wake syndrome (e.g. , circadian rhythm sleep disorder), situational circadian rhythm sleep disorders (e.g. , jet lag, shift work sleep disorders), hypopnea, irregular sleep wake rhythm, nightmares, night terror, parasomn ia, restless leg syndrome (RLS), nocturnal mycolonus/periodic limb movement disorder

(PLM D), rapid eye movement (REM) sleep disorder, somnambulism/sleep walking, somn i loquy/sleep talking, and somniphobia. For example, U.S. Patent No. 8,003,669 discloses a class of ORL- 1 agonists said to be therapeutic agents for circadian rhythm sleep disorder and M iyakawa el al. disclose that administration of the ORL- 1 receptor agonist known as W-212393 induces phase advance of locomotor activity circadian rhythm in mice ("ORL 1 receptor-mediated down-regu lation of mPER2 in the suprach iasmatic nucleus accelerates re-entrainment of the circadian clock following a shift in the environmental light/dark cycle," Nenropharmacol. 52: 1 055- 1 064 (2007)).

Metabolic disorders can be caused by an abnormal metabolic process and can be acquired, e.g. , failure of a metabolically important organ such as the liver or disease of an endocrine organ, or congenital, e.g. , an inherited enzyme abnormality. A congenital metabolic disorder can be caused by a defect in a single gene; some of the more well-known inborn metabolic errors include sickle cel l anemia, hypothyroidism, Tay-Sachs disease, phenylketonuria, and cystic fibrosis. The Quinazol in-4(3 H)-one- Type Piperidine Compounds can be used to treat or prevent a metabolic disorder including, but not limited to, anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and obesity. For example, U.S. Patent No. 7,241 ,770 discloses a class of hydronopol derivative ORL- 1 agonists said to be therapeutic agents for metabolic disorders.

A renal disorder may be acute or chronic. An acute renal disorder can be caused by impaired blood flow to the kidneys due to, e.g. , blood loss, heart attack, or liver failure; kidney damage due to, e.g. , blood clots, hemolytic uremic syndrome, or vasculitis; or urine blockage due to, e.g. , bladder cancer, an enlarged prostate, or kidney stones. A chronic renal disorder can be caused by, e.g., diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or polycystic kidney disease. The Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds can be used to treat or prevent a renal disorder including, but not lim ited to, those renal disorders characterized by the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (Sl unj ui v miuaia ces of water retention and/or water excretion or salt excretion. For example, U.S. Patent No. 6,869,960 discloses a class of spiropiperidine ORL- 1 ligands said to be therapeutic agents for renal disorders.

Cardiovascular disorders represent the leading cause of death in the United States, responsible for about 27% of yearly deaths. Cardiovascular disorders can be caused by tobacco use, alcohol abuse, obesity, diabetes mellitus, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other factors. The Quinazolin- 4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds can be used to treat or prevent a cardiovascular disorder including, but not limited to, myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, bradycardia, hypertension, hypotension, thrombosis, anemia, arteriosclerosis, and angina pectoris. For example, U.S. Patent No. 7,241 ,770 discloses a class of hydronopol derivative ORL- 1 agonists said to be therapeutic agents for cardiovascular disorders.

4.7 Therapeutic/Prophylactic Administration and Compositions

Due to their activity, the QuinazoIin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds are advantageously useful in human and veterinary medicine. As described above, the Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type

Piperidine Compounds are useful for treating or preventing a Condition in an animal in need thereof. The Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds of the disclosure can be administered to any an imal requiring modulation of the opioid and/or ORL-1 receptors.

When administered to an animal, a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound can be administered as a component of a composition that comprises a pharmaceutical ly acceptable carrier or excipient. The compositions, which comprise a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound, can be administered orally. A Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound can also be administered by any other convenient route, for example, by infusion or bolus injection, by absorption through epithelial or mucocutaneous linings (e.g. , oral, rectal, and intestinal mucosa, etc.) and can be administered together with a second therapeutically active agent. Administration can be systemic or local, v arious aenvery systems are known, e.g. , encapsulation in liposomes, microparticles, microcapsules, multiparticulates, capsules, etc., and can be used to administer a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound.

Methods of administration include, but are not limited to, intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, parenteral, intravenous, subcutaneous, intranasal, epidural, oral, sublingual, intracerebral, intravaginal, transdermal (e.g., via a patch), rectal, by inhalation, transmucosal, or topical, particularly to the ears, nose, eyes, or skin. The method of administration is left to the discretion of the practitioner. In some instances, admin istration wil l result in the release of a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound into the bloodstream. In other instances, administration will result in only local release of a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound.

In specific embodiments, it can be desirable to administer a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound locally. This can be achieved, for example and not by way of limitation, by local infusion during surgery, topical application, e.g., in conj unction with a wound dressing after surgery, by injection, by means of a catheter, by means of a suppository or enema, or by means of an implant, said implant being of a porous, non-porous, or gelatinous material, including membranes, such as sialastic membranes, or fibers.

In certain embodiments, it can be desirable to introduce a QuinazoIin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound into the central nervous system or gastrointestinal tract by any suitable route, including intraventricular, intrathecal, and epidural injection, and enema. Intraventricular injection can be facilitated by an intraventricular catheter, for example, attached to a reservoir, such as an Ommaya reservoir.

Pulmonary administration can also be employed, e.g. , by use of an inhaler or nebulizer, and formulation with an aerosolizing agent, or via perfusion in a fluorocarbon or synthetic pulmonary surfactant. In certain embodiments, a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound can be formulated as a suppository, with traditional binders and excipients such as triglycerides.

When a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound is incorporated for parenteral administration by injection (e.g. , continuous infusion or bolus injection), the formulation for parenteral administration can be in the form of a suspension, solution, emulsion in an oily or aqueous vehicle, and such formulations can further comprise pharmaceutically necessary additives such as one or more stabilizing agents, suspending agents, dispersing agents, and the l ike. A Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type

Piperidine Compound can also be in the form of a powder for reconstitution as an injectable formulation.

In another embodiment, a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound can be delivered in a vesicle, in particular a liposome (see Langer, "New Methods of Drug Delivery," Science 249: 1 527-1533 ( 1990); and Treat et al , "Liposome Encapsulated Doxorubicin Preliminary Results of Phase I and Phase II Trials," pp. 3 1 7-327 and 353-365 in Liposomes in the Therapy of Infectious Disease ana cancer

( 1989)).

In yet another embodiment, a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound can be delivered in a controlled-release system or sustained-release system {see, e.g. , Goodson, "Dental Applications," in Medical Applications of Controlled Release, Vol. 2, Applications and Evaluation, Langer and Wise, eds., CRC Press, Chapter 6, pp. 1 15- 138 ( 1984), hereafter "Goodson"). Other controlled- or sustained-release systems discussed in the review by Langer, Science 249: 1 527- 1533 ( 1990) can be used. In one embodiment, a pump can be used (Langer, Science 249: 1527- 1533 ( 1990); Sefton, "Implantable Pumps," in CRC Crit. Rev. Biomed. Eng. 14(3):201 -240 ( 1987); Buchwald et al , "Long-term, Continuous Intravenous Heparin Administration by an Implantable Infusion Pump in Ambulatory Patients with

Recurrent Venous Thrombosis," Surgery 88:507-516 ( 1980); and Saudek et al , "A Preliminary Trial of the Programmable Implantable Medication System for Insulin Delivery," New Engl. J. Med. 32 1 :574-579 ( 1989)). In another embodiment, polymeric materials can be used {see Goodson; Smolen et al. , "Drug Product Design and Performance," Controlled Drug Bioavailability Vol. I, John Wiley & Sons, New York ( 1984); Langer et al , "Chemical and Physical Structure of Polymers as Carriers for Controlled Release of Bioactive Agents: A Review," . Macromol. Sci. Rev. Macromol. Chem. C23( l ):6 1 - 126 ( 1983); Levy et al , "Inhibition of Calcification of Bioprosthetic Heart Valves by Local Controlled- Release Diphosphonate," Science 228: 190- 192 ( 1985); During et al , "Controlled Release of Dopamine from a Polymeric Brain Implant: In Vivo Characterization," Ann. Neurol. 25 :35 1 -356 ( 1989); and Howard et al , "Intracerebral drug delivery in rats with lesion-induced memory deficits," ./ Neurosurg. 71: 105- 1 1 2 ( 1989)). in yet another embodiment, a controlled- or sustained-release system can be placed in proximity of a target of a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound, e.g. , the spinal column, brain, or gastrointestinal tract, thus requiring only a fraction of the systemic dose.

In certain embodiments, compositions of the disclosure further comprise a suitable amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient so as to provide the form for proper administration to the animal. Such a pharmaceutical excipient can be a diluent, suspending agent, solubilizer, binder, disintegrant, preservative, coloring agent, lubricant, and the like. The pharmaceutical excipient can be a l iquid, such as water or an oil, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable, or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oi l, sesame oil, and the like. The pharmaceutical excipient can be sal ine, gum acacia, gelatin, starch paste, talc, keratin, colloidal silica, urea, and the like. In addition, auxiliary, stabi lizing, thickening, lubricating, and coloring agents can be used. In one embodiment, the

pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is sterile when administered to an animal. Water is a particularly useful excipient when a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound is administered intravenously. Saline solutions and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions can also be employed as liquid excipients, particularly for injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients also include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, dried skim milk, glycerol, propylene glycol, water, EtOH, and the like. The , . . , . _c .

compositions, it desired, can also contain minor amounts or wetting or emulsifying agents, or pn buffering agents. Specific examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and excipients that can be used to formulate oral dosage forms are described in the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, (Amer. Pharmaceutical Ass'n, Washington, DC, 1 986), incorporated herein by reference.

In certain embodiments, compositions of the disclosure take the form of solutions, suspensions, emulsions, tablets, pills, pellets, capsules, capsules containing liquids, powders, sustained-release formulations, suppositories, emulsions, aerosols, sprays, suspensions, or any other form suitable for use. In one embodiment, the composition is in the form of a capsule {see, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 5,698, 1 55). Other examples of suitable pharmaceutical excipients are described by Radebough et ai ,

"Preformulation," pp. 1447- 1676 in Remington 's Pharmaceutical Sciences Vol. 2 (Gennaro, ed., 19 ^th Ed., Mack Publishing, Easton, PA, 1995), incorporated herein by reference.

In one embodiment, the Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds are formulated in accordance with routine procedures as a composition adapted for oral administration to human beings. A Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound to be orally delivered can be in the form of tablets, capsules, gelcaps, caplets, lozenges, aqueous or oily solutions, suspensions, granules, powders, emulsions, syrups, or el ixirs, for example. When a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound is incorporated into oral tablets, such tablets can be compressed, tablet triturates, enteric-coated, sugar- coated, film-coated, multiply compressed, or multiply layered. Techniques and compositions for making solid oral dosage forms are described in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets (Lieberman et al , eds., 2 ^nd Ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1989 & 1 990). Techniques and compositions for making tablets

(compressed and molded), capsules (hard and soft gelatin) and pills are also described by King, "Tablets, Capsules, and Pil ls," pp. 1 553- 1 593 in Remington 's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Osol, ed., 16 ^th Ed., Mack Publishing, Easton, PA, 1980).

Liquid oral dosage forms include aqueous and nonaqueous solutions, emulsions, suspensions, and solutions and/or suspensions reconstituted from non-effervescent granules, optionally containing one or more suitable solvents, preservatives, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, diluents, sweeteners, coloring agents, flavoring agents, and the like. Techniques and composition for making liquid oral dosage forms are described in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Disperse Systems (Lieberman et al , eds., 2 ^nd Ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1996 & 1 998).

When a Quinazol in-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound is to be injected parenterally, it can be, e.g. , in the form of an isotonic sterile solution. Alternatively, when a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound is to be inhaled, it can be formulated into a dry aerosol or can be formulated into an aqueous or partially aqueous solution.

An orally administered Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound can contain one or more agents, for example, sweetening agents such as fructose, aspartame or saccharin; flavoring agents such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen, or cherry; coloring agents; and preserving agents, to provide a pharmaceutically palatable preparation. Moreover, when in tablet or pill form, the compositions can be coated to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract thereby providing a sustained action over an extended period of time. Selectively permeable membranes surrounding an osmotically active driving compound are also suitable for orally administered compositions. In these latter platforms, fluid from the environment surrounding the capsule is imbibed by the driving compound, which swells to displace the agent or agent composition through an aperture. These delivery platforms can provide an essentially zero order delivery profile as opposed to the spiked profiles of immediate release formulations. A time-delay material such as glycerol monostearate or glycerol stearate can also be used. Oral compositions can include standard excipients such as mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, cellulose, and magnesium carbonate. In one embodiment, the excipients are of pharmaceutical grade.

In another embodiment, the Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds can be formulated for intravenous administration. In certain embodiments, compositions for intravenous administration comprise sterile isotonic aqueous buffer. Where necessary, the compositions can also include a solubilizing agent. A Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound for intravenous administration can optionally include a local anesthetic such as benzocaine or pri iocaine to lessen pain at the site of the injection. General ly, the ingredients are supplied either separately or mixed together in unit dosage form, for example, as a dry lyophilized powder or water free concentrate in a hermetically sealed container such as an ampule or sachette indicating the quantity of active agent. Where a Quinazol in- 4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound is to be administered by infusion, it can be dispensed, for example, with an infusion bottle containing sterile pharmaceutical grade water or sal ine. When a

Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound is administered by injection, an ampule of sterile water for injection or saline can be provided so that the ingredients can be mixed prior to administration.

A Quinazol in-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound can be admin istered by controlled-release or sustained-release means or by delivery devices that are known to those in the art. Examples include, but are not limited to, those described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,845,770, 3, 1 6,899, 3,536,809, 3,598, 123, 4,008,719, 5,674,533, 5,059,595, 5,591 ,767, 5, 120,548, 5,073,543, 5,639,476, 5,354,556, and 5,733,566, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. Such dosage forms can be used to provide control led- or sustained-release of one or more active ingredients using, for example, hydropropylmethyl cel lulose, ethylcel lulose, other polymer matrices, gels, permeable membranes, osmotic systems, mu lti layer coatings, microparticles, multiparticulates, l iposomes, microspheres, or a combination thereof to provide the desired release profi le in varying proportions. Suitable controlled- or sustained-release formulations known to those in the art, including those described herein, can be readi ly selected for use with the active ingredients of the disclosure. The disclosure thus encompasses single unit dosage forms suitable for oral administration such as, but not limited to, tablets, capsules, gelcaps, and caplets that are adapted for controlled- or sustained-release. Controlled- or sustained-release pharmaceutical compositions can have a commuu gum υι improving drug therapy over that achieved by their non-controlled or non-sustained-release counterparts. In one embodiment, a controlled- or sustained-release composition comprises a minimal amount of a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound to treat or prevent the Condition or a symptom thereof in a minimum amount of time. Advantages of control led- or sustained-release compositions include extended activity of the drug, reduced dosage frequency, and increased compliance. In addition, controlled- or sustained-release compositions can favorably affect the time of onset of action or other characteristics, such as blood levels of the Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound, and can thus reduce the occurrence of adverse side effects.

Controlled- or sustained-release compositions can initial ly release an amount of a Quinazolin-

4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound that promptly produces the desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect, and gradually and continually release other amounts of the Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound to maintain this level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. To maintain a constant level of the Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound in the body, the Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound can be released from the dosage form at a rate that wi ll replace the amount of Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound being metabolized and excreted from the body. Controlled- or sustained-release of an active ingredient can be stimulated by various conditions, including but not limited to, changes in pH, changes in temperature, concentration or avai labi lity of enzymes, concentration or avai lability of water, or other physiological conditions or compounds.

The amount of the Quinazol in-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound that is effective for the treatment or prevention of a Cond ition can be determined by standard clinical techniques. In addition, in vitro and/or in vivo assays can optionally be employed to help identify optimal dosage ranges. The precise dose to be employed wi ll also depend on, e.g. , the route of administration and the seriousness of the Condition, and can be decided according to the judgment of a practitioner and/or each animal's circumstances. In other examples thereof, variations will necessarily occur depending upon the weight and physical condition (e.g., hepatic and renal function) of the animal being treated, the affliction to be treated, the severity of the symptoms, the frequency of the dosage interval, the presence of any deleterious side-effects, and the particular compound utilized, among other things.

Suitable effective dosage amounts, however, range from about O.O l mg/kg of body weight to about 3000mg/kg of body weight of the animal per day, although they are, in certain embodiments, from about 0.01 mg/kg of body weight to about 2500mg/kg of body weight of the an imal per day or from about 0.01 mg/kg of body weight to about 1 OOOmg/kg of body weight of the animal per day. In another embodiment, the effective dosage amount is about 1 OOmg/kg of body weight of the animal per day or less. In another embodiment, the effective dosage amount ranges from about 0.01 mg/kg of body weight to about 1 OOmg/kg of body weight of the animal per day of a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound, in another embodiment, about 0.02mg/kg of body weight to about 50mg/kg of body weight of the animal per day, and in another embodiment, about 0.025mg/kg of body weight tu ai -¾¾A? Q?J14 body weight of the animal per day.

Administration can be as a single dose or as a divided dose. In one embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 24 hr until the Condition is abated. In another embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 12 hr until the Condition is abated. In another embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 8 hr unti l the Condition is abated. In another embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 6 hr until the Condition is abated. In. another embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 4 hr until the Condition is abated. The effective dosage amounts described herein refer to total amounts administered; that is, if more than one Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound is administered, the effective dosage amounts correspond to the total amount administered.

Example 24: Cytochrome P450 1 A2, 2C9, 2D6, and 3A4

Cytochrome P450 1 A2 (CY I A2), 2C9 (CYP2C9), 2D6 (CYP2D6), and 3A4 (CYP3A4) are enzymes of the cytochrome P450 super fami ly known to be involved in metabol izing and eliminating many drugs, e.g. , orally-administered opiates, particularly at lower concentrations. Quinazolin-4(3 H)- one-Type Piperidine Compounds were tested for the extent to which they inhibited production of reference metabol ites for these enzymes.

For example, using commercially available pooled human hepatic microsome and employing, as an indicator, the O-demethylation of dextromethorphan ((4bR,8aS,9R)-3-methoxy- l l -methyl- 6,7,8,8a,9, 10-hexahydro-5H-9,4b-(epiminoethano)phenanthrene) as a typical substrate metabolism reaction for human CYP2D6, Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds were tested for the extent to which they inhibited reference metabol ite production by CYP2D6. The reaction conditions were . - _ ₀ „

as follows: 5 μηιοΙ/L dextromethorphan substrate, 15 minute reaction time, 37 C reacuun lempei auire,

0.2 mg protein/mL pooled human hepatic microsome enzyme, and Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type

Piperidine Compound concentrations of 1 , 5, 10, and 20 μπιοΙ/L (four concentrations for each compound). Similar reactions were performed for the other CYP enzymes.

The substrate, human hepatic microsome, or a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound in 50 mmol/L HEPES buffer as a reaction solution was added to a 96-well plate at the concentrations as described above, cofactor NADPH was added to initiate metabol ism reactions as a marker and, after incubation at 37°C for 15 minutes, a 1 : 1 MeOH:MeCN (vol:vol) solution was added to stop the reaction. Following centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 1 5 minutes, the amount of dextrorphan ((4bR,8aS,9R)- l 1 - methyl-6,7,8,8a,9, l 0-hexahydro-5H-9,4b-(epiminoethano)phenanthren-3-ol, the CYP2D6 metabolite) present was determined quantitatively by LC/MS/MS.

As a control, addition of only DMSO (a solvent for Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compounds) to a reaction system was adopted (i. e., 100% metabolite production). At each concentration of a Quinazolm-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound added, the activity (%) was calculated from the amount of dextrorphan present. The 1C ₅₀ was determined by reverse presumption by a logistic model using a concentration and an inhibition rate.

A "low" value of CYP 1 A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4 1C ₅₀ , e.g. , about 1 μΜ or less, is an indicator that undesirable drug-drug interactions are possible. In contrast, a "high" value of CYP 1 A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4 1C ₅₀ , e.g. , about 1 7-20μΜ or greater, is an indicator of the absence of undesirable drug-drug interactions.

In certain embodiments, a Quinazol in-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound has a CYP 1 A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4 1C ₅₀ of about 1 5 μΜ or greater, or of about 16μΜ or greater, or of about 1 7μΜ or greater, or of about 1 7.5μΜ or greater, or of about 18μΜ or greater, or of about 1 8.5 μΜ or greater, or of about 19μ or greater, or of about 20μΜ or greater.

In Table 5, binding efficacy to the ORL- 1 receptor was determined by the procedure in Example 10. Activity response to the ORL- 1 receptor was determined by the procedure in Example 1 1 . Also in Table 5, Cytochrome P450 (i.e., CYP 1 A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4) response, in the form of IC ₅₀ , was determined by the procedure in Example 1 8. _{n/l c} , ,

The volume of carrier administered to the control group is the same as the volume of carrier and Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound administered to the test group.

Acute Pain: To assess the actions of a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound for the treatment or prevention of acute pain, the rat tail flick test is used. Rats are gently restrained by hand and the tail exposed to a focused beam of radiant heat at a point 5 cm from the tip using a tail flick unit (Model 7360, commercially available from Ugo Basile of Italy). Tail flick latencies are defined as the interval between the onset of the thermal stimulus and the flick of the tail. Animals not responding within 20 seconds are removed from the tail flick unit and assigned a withdrawal latency of 20 seconds. Tail flick latencies are measured immediately before (pre-treatment) and 1 , 3, and 5 hours following administration of a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound. Data are expressed as tail flick latency(s) and the percentage of the maximal possible effect (% MPE), i.e., 20 seconds, is calculated as follows: MPE = — ~T~r~. -r— ^■ X 100

(20 s pre-admimstration latency)

The rat tail flick test is described in D' Amour et al., "A Method for Determining Loss of Pain Sensation," . Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 72:74-79 ( 1941 ).

Inflammatory Pain: To assess the actions of a Quinazoliri-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound for the treatment or prevention of inflammatory pain, the Freund's complete adjuvant ("FCA") mode) of inflammatory pain is used. FCA-induced inflammation of the rat hind paw is associated with the development of persistent inflammatory mechanical hyperalgesia and provides reliable prediction of the anti-hyperalgesic action of clinically useful analgesic drugs (Bartho et al, "Involvement of capsaicin- sensitive neurons in hyperalgesia and enhanced opioid antinociception in inflammation," Navnyn- Schmiedeberg 's Archives of Pharmacol. 342:666-670 ( 1990)). The left hind paw of each animal is administered a 50 yL intraplantar injection of 50% FCA. 24 hour post injection, the animal is assessed for response to noxious mechanical stimuli by determining the PWT, as described below. Rats are then administered a single injection of 1 , 3, 10 or 30mg/kg of either a Quinazo!in-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound; 30mg/kg of a control selected from Celebrex, indomethacin, and naproxen; or carrier.

Responses to noxious mechanical stimuli are then determined I , 3, 5 and 24 hours post administration. Percentage reversal of hyperalgesia for each animal is defined as:

[ (post administration PWT) - (pre-administration PWT) ]

% Reversal = — _: x 100

[ (basel ine PWT) - (pre-administration PWT) ]

Neuropathic Pain: To assess the actions of a Quinazolin-4(3H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound for the treatment or prevention of neuropathic pain, either the Seltzer model or the Chung model is used.

In the Seltzer model, the partial sciatic nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain is used to produce neuropathic hyperalgesia in rats (Seltzer et al. , "A Novel Behavioral Model of Neuropathic Pain Disorders Produced in Rats by Partial Sciatic Nerve Injury," Pain 43:205-21 8 ( 1990)). Partial ligation of the left sciatic nerve is performed under isoflurane/0 ₂ inhalation anesthesia. Following induction of anesthesia, the left thigh of the rat is shaved and the sciatic nerve exposed at high thigh level through a small incision and is carefully cleared of surrounding connective tissues at a site near the trocanther just distal to the point at which the posterior biceps semitendinosus nerve branches off of the common sciatic nerve. A 7-0 silk suture is inserted into the nerve with a 3/8 curved, reversed-cutting mini-needle and tightly ligated so that the dorsal ⁾ B to ½ of the nerve thickness is held within the ligature. The wound is closed with a single muscle suture (4-0 nylon (Vicryl)) and vetbond tissue glue. The wound area is then dusted with antibiotic powder. Sham treatment involved an identical surgical procedure except that the sciatic nerve is not manipulated or ligated.

Following surgery, animals are weighed and placed on a warm pad until they recovered from anesthesia. Animals are then returned to their home cages until behavioral testing began. The animal is assessed for response to noxious mechanical stimuli by determining PWT for the rear paw of the animal, ,

drug-iri-vehicle administration (for day 1 ). Thus, the 24 hour time point is the start of the next day when drug-in-vehicle was again orally administered (24 hours after the prior administration). On days 4 and 7, PWT response is determined 1 , 3, and 5 hours thereafter. Percentage reversal of neuropathic hyperalgesia at each of the specified times after administration is defined as:

[ (post administration PWT) - (pre-administration PWT) ]

% Reversal = . x 1 00

[ (baseline PWT) - (pre-administration PWT) ]

Additionally, l Omg/kg of pregabalin (Kemprotec, Ltd., Middlesbrough, UK), an anticonvulsant accepted for relief of particular neuropathic pain, in vehicle and the vehicle alone (0.5% weight/volume methylcellulose (400cP, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.)/aqueous solution) are orally administered as controls. Eight rats that underwent partial ligation of the left sciatic nerve are used for each treatment group except for pregabalin, where six rats are treated. Dunnett's test is conducted for the % reversal; values with p < 0.05 are considered to be statistically significant.

Additionally, as a control the rats undergo sham surgery in which an identical surgical procedure is followed with regard to the right thigh but the sciatic nerve is neither manipulated nor ligated.

In the Chung model, the spinal nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain is used to produce mechanical hyperalgesia, thermal hyperalgesia and tacti le allodynia in rats. Surgery is performed under isoflurane/O? inhalation anesthesia. Following induction of anesthesia, a 3 cm incision is made and the left paraspinal muscles are separated from the spinous process at the L ₄ -S? levels. The L ₆ transverse process is carefully removed with a pair of small rongeurs to identify visually the L ₄ -L ₆ spinal nerves. The left L ₅ (or L ₅ and L ₆ ) spinal nerve(s) is isolated and tightly l igated with silk thread. A complete hemostasis is confirmed and the wound is sutured using non-absorbable sutures, such as nylon sutures or stainless steel staples. Sham-treated rats undergo an identical surgical procedure except that the spinal nerve(s) is not manipulated. Following surgery animals are weighed, administered a subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of saline or ringers lactate, the wound area is dusted with antibiotic powder and they are kept on a warm pad until they recover from the anesthesia. Animals are then returned to their home cages until behavioral testing begins. The animals are assessed for response to noxious mechanical stimuli by determining PWT, as described below, prior to surgery (baseline), then immediately prior to and 1 , 3, and 5 hours after being administered a Quinazolin-4(3 H)-one-Type Piperidine Compound for the left rear paw of the animal. The animal can also be assessed for response to noxious thermal stimuli or for tacti le al lodyn ia, as described below. The Chung model for neuropathic pain is described in Kim, "An

Experimental Model for Peripheral Neuropathy Produced by Segmental Spinal Nerve Ligation in the Rat," Pain 50(3):355-363 ( 1992).

Response to Mechanical Stimul i as an Assessment of Mechanical Hyperalgesia: The paw pressure assay is used to assess mechanical hyperalgesia. For this assay, hind paw withdrawal thresholds (PWT) to a noxious mechan ical stimulus are determined using an analgesymeter (Model 372 1 5, Hindpaw in Rats as a Model of Prolonged Noxious Stimulation: Alterations in Behavior and Nociceptive

Thresholds," Pharmacol. Biochem. Behavior 31 :45 1-455 (1988). The maximum weight that can be applied to the hind paw is set at 250 g and the end point is taken as complete withdrawal of the paw. PWT is determined once for each rat at each time point and either only the affected (ipsilateral) paw is tested, or both the ipsilateral and contralateral (non-injured) paw are tested.

Response to Thermal Stimuli as an Assessment of Thermal Hyperalgesia: The plantar test is used to assess thermal hyperalgesia. For this test, hind paw withdrawal latencies to a noxious thermal stimulus are determined using a plantar test apparatus (commercially available from Ugo Basile of Italy) following the technique described by Hargreaves et al, "A New and Sensitive Method for Measuring Thermal

Nociception in Cutaneous Hyperalgesia," Pain 32(l):77-88 (1988). The maximum exposure time is set at 32 seconds to avoid tissue damage and any directed paw withdrawal from the heat source is taken as the end point. Three latencies are determined at each time point and averaged. Either only the affected (ipsilateral) paw is tested, or both the ipsilateral and contralateral (non-injured) paw are tested.

Assessment of Tactile Allodynia: To assess tactile allodynia, rats are placed in clear, plexiglass compartments with a wire mesh floor and allowed to habituate for a period of at least 1 5minutes. After habituation, a series of von Frey monofilaments are presented to the plantar surface of the left (operated) foot of each rat. The series of von Frey monofilaments consists of six monofilaments of increasing diameter, with the smallest diameter fiber presented first. Five trials are conducted with each filament with each trial separated by approximately 2 minutes. Each presentation lasts for a period of 4-8 seconds or until a nociceptive withdrawal behavior is observed. Flinching, paw withdrawal or licking of the paw are considered nociceptive behavioral responses.
