Description:
SUBSTITUTED DIHYDROPYRAZINEDIO NE AS MODULATORS OF THE NMDA RECEPTOR CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63/052,749, filed on July 16, 2020, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD This present application relates to compounds of Formula (I), as defined herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The present application also describes pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and methods of using the compounds and compositions for treating neurological disorders such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform disorder, mild congnitive impairment, and neuropathic pain. BACKGROUND D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) is a flavoenzyme that degrades D-amino acids via oxidative deamination. D-amino acid levels have been implicated in various physiological processes including hormone secretion, synaptic transmission, and cognition. In particular, the levels of D- serine, an endogenous co-agonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor, are regulated by DAAO. The NMDA receptor regulates a number of pathways involved in neurological function, including the positive (psychotic), negative, and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia. Further, patients with schizophrenia exhibit increased expression and/or acivity of DAAO relative to healthy subjects. See, for example, Chumakov, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad Sci. USA, 99:13675– 13680 (2002); Burnet, et al., Mol. Psychiatry, 13:658–660 (2008); and Hashimoto, et al., Neurosci. Lett., 152:33–36 (1993). Increased levels of D-Ser are also correlated with both acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, stroke, epilepsy, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. See, for example, Sacchi, et al., Amino Acids, 43, 1833–1850 (2012). Many of these neurological conditions have no currently approved therapies. For schizophrenia, standard of care therapies are treatment with typical and atypical (second generation) antipsychotic agents. While these therapies are moderately efficacious in addressing the positive symptoms, they do not address the negative symptoms and cognitive deficits observed in schizophrenics. In addition, these therapies can result in significant undesired side effects, both cognitive side effects such as flatten affect, and the development of motor disorders such as tardive dyskinesia. See, for example, Lieberman, et al., Pharmacol. Rev., 60:358–403 (2008). Thus, there remains a need for alternative approaches to modulate NMDA receptor activity, for example, by modulating levels of NMDA receptor co-agonists such as D-serine.

As used herein, the term “geminal” refers to substituent atoms or groups attached to the same atom in a molecule. As used herein, the term “vicinal” refers to substituent atoms or groups attached to adjacent atoms in a molecule. The stereochemical relationship between the substituent atoms or groups can be cis, trans, undefined, or unresolved. As used herein, the term “oxo” refers to an “=O” group attached to a carbon atom. As used herein, the symbol depicts the point of attachment of an atom or moiety to the indicated atom or group in the re mainder of the molecule. It is to be understood that the ring in compounds of Formula (I) comprising groups X and Y does not contain two adjacent sulfur atoms, -S(=O) groups, -C(=O)- groups, or -S(O2)- groups. The compounds of Formula (I) include pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. In addition, the compounds of Formula (I) also include other salts of such compounds which are not necessarily pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and which may be useful as intermediates for preparing and/or purifying compounds of Formula (I) and/or for separating enantiomers of compounds of Formula (I). Non-limiting examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of Formula (I) include trifluoroacetic acid and hydrochloride salts. It will further be appreciated that the compounds of Formula (I) or their salts may be isolated in the form of solvates, and accordingly that any such solvate is included within the scope of the present invention. For example, compounds of Formula (I) and salts thereof can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. In one embodiment, the compounds of Formula (I) include the compounds of Examples 1- 306 and stereoisomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. In one embodiment, the compounds of Examples 1-306 are in the free base form. In one embodiment, the compounds of Examples 1-306 are in the salt form. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” indicates that the compound, or salt or composition thereof is compatible chemically and/or toxicologically with the other ingredients comprising a formulation and/or the subject being treated therewith. Protecting groups can be a temporary substituent which protects a potentially reactive functional group from undesired chemical transformations. The choice of the particular protecting group employed is well within the skill of one of ordinary skill in the art. A number of considerations can determine the choice of protecting group including, but not limited to, the functional group being protected, other functionality present in the molecule, reaction conditions at each step of the synthetic sequence, other protecting groups present in the molecule, functional group tolerance to conditions required to remove the protecting group, and reaction conditions for the thermal decomposition of the compounds provided herein. The field of protecting group chemistry has been reviewed (Greene, T. W.; Wuts, P. G. M. Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2.sup.nd ed.; Wiley: New York, 1991). A nitrogen protecting group can be any temporary substituent which protects an amine moiety from undesired chemical transformations. Examples of moieties formed when such protecting groups are bonded to an amine include, but are not limited to allylamine, benzylamines (e.g., bezylamine, p-methoxybenzylamine, 2,4-dimethoxybenzylamine, and tritylamine), acetylamide, trichloroacetammide, trifluoroacetamide, pent-4-enamide, phthalimides, carbamates (e.g., methyl carbamate, t-butyl carbamate, benzyl carbamate, allyl carbamates, 2,2,2- trichloroethyl carbamate, and 9-fluorenylmethyl carbamate), imines, and sulfonamides (e.g., benzene sulfonamide, p-toluenesulfonamide, and p-nitrobenzenesulfonamide). An oxygen protecting group can be any temporary substituent which protects a hydroxyl moiety from undesired chemical transformations. Examples of moieties formed when such protecting groups are bonded to a hydroxyl include, but are not limited to esters (e.g., acetyl, t- butyl carbonyl, and benzoyl), benzyl (e.g., benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl, and 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl, and trityl), carbonates (e.g., methyl carbonate, allyl carbonate, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl carbonate and benzyl carbonate) ketals, and acetals, and ethers. Compounds provided herein may also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. That is, an atom, in particular when mentioned in relation to a compound according to Formula (I), comprises all isotopes and isotopic mixtures of that atom, either naturally occurring or synthetically produced, either with natural abundance or in an isotopically enriched form. For example, when hydrogen is mentioned, it is understood to refer to 1 H, 2 H, 3 H or mixtures thereof; when carbon is mentioned, it is understood to refer to 11 C, 12 C, 13 C, 14 C or mixtures thereof; when nitrogen is mentioned, it is understood to refer to 13 N, 14 N, 15 N or mixtures thereof; when oxygen is mentioned, it is understood to refer to 14 O, 15 O, 16 O, 17 O, 18 O or mixtures thereof; and when fluoro is mentioned, it is understood to refer to 18 F, 19 F or mixtures thereof; unless expressly noted otherwise. For example, in deuteroalkyl and deuteroalkoxy groups, where one or more hydrogen atoms are specifically replaced with deuterium ( 2 H). As some of the aforementioned isotopes are radioactive, the compounds provided herein therefore also comprise compounds with one or more isotopes of one or more atoms, and mixtures thereof, including radioactive compounds, wherein one or more non-radioactive atoms has been replaced by one of its radioactive enriched isotopes. Radiolabeled compounds are useful as therapeutic agents, e.g., cancer therapeutic agents, research reagents, e.g., assay reagents, and diagnostic agents, e.g., in vivo imaging agents. All isotopic variations of the compounds provided herein, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention. For illustrative purposes, general methods for preparing the compounds are provided herein as well as key intermediates. For a more detailed description of the individual reaction steps, see the Examples section below. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other synthetic routes may be used to synthesize the inventive compounds. Although specific starting materials and reagents are depicted in the Schemes and discussed below, other starting materials and reagents can be easily substituted to provide a variety of derivatives and/or reaction conditions. In addition, many of the compounds prepared by the methods described below can be further modified in light of this disclosure using conventional chemistry well known to those skilled in the art.

The carrier can take a wide variety of forms depending upon the desired route of administration (e.g., oral, parenteral). In some embodiments, the composition is a solid oral composition. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are well known in the art. Descriptions of some of these pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be found in The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, published by the American Pharmaceutical Association and the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. Methods of formulating pharmaceutical compositions have been described in numerous publications such as Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets, Second Edition, Revised and Expanded, Volumes 1-3, edited by Lieberman et al; Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Parenteral Medications, Volumes 1-2, edited by Avis et al; and Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Disperse Systems, Volumes 1-2, edited by Lieberman et al; published by Marcel Dekker, Inc. In preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media can be employed. Thus for liquid oral preparations such as suspensions, elixirs and solutions, suitable carriers and additives include water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, stabilizers, coloring agents and the like; for solid oral preparations, such as powders, capsules and tablets, suitable carriers and additives include starches, sugars, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like. Suitable binders include, without limitation, starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth or sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl cellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum and the like. Solid oral preparations can also be coated with substances such as sugars or be enteric-coated so as to modulate major site of absorption. For parenteral administration, the carrier will usually consist of sterile water and other ingredients can be added to increase solubility or preservation. Injectable suspensions or solutions can also be prepared utilizing aqueous carriers along with appropriate additives.

Chem. Educ., 74(11), 1297 (1997). The following are representative procedures for the preparation of the compounds used in the following Examples, or which can be substituted for the compounds used in the following Examples which may not be commercially available. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry UPLC-MS was performed on a Waters Acquity I-Class with Waters Diode Array Detector coupled to a Waters SQD2 single quadrupole mass spectrometer using an Waters HSS C18 column (1.8 µm, 100 × 2.1 mm) or on a Waters DAD + Waters SQD2, single quadrupole UPLC-MS spectrometer using an Acquity UPLC BEH Shield RP181.7um 100 x 2.1mm (plus guard cartridge), maintained at 40 °C. The columns were initially held at 5% acetonitrile/water (with 0.1% formic acid or 10 mM ammonium bicarbonate in each mobile phase), followed by a linear gradient of 5-100% and then held at 100%. NMR 1H Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was carried out using a Bruker instrument operating at 400 MHz using the stated solvent at around room temperature unless otherwise stated. In all cases, NMR data were consistent with the proposed structures. Characteristic chemical shifts (δ) are given in parts-per-million using conventional abbreviations for designation of major peaks: e.g. s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; q, quartet; dd, doublet of doublets; dt, doublet of triplets; m, multiplet; br, broad. Preparative reverse-phase HPLC conditions Preparative HPLC purification was performed by reverse phase HPLC using a Waters Fractionlynx preparative HPLC system (2525 pump, 2996/2998 UV/VIS detector, 2767 liquid handler) or an equivalent HPLC system such as a Gilson Trilution UV directed system. The Waters 2767 liquid handler acted as both auto-sampler and fraction collector. The columns used for the preparative purification of the compounds were a Waters Sunfire OBD Phenomenex Luna Phenyl Hexyl or Waters Xbridge Phenyl at 10 µm 19 × 150 mm or Waters CSH Phenyl Hexyl, 19 × 150, 5 µm column. Appropriate focused gradients were selected based on acetonitrile and methanol solvent systems under either acidic or basic conditions. The modifiers used under acidic/basic conditions were formic acid or trifluoroacetic acid (0.1% V/V) and ammonium bicarbonate (10 mM) respectively. The purification was controlled by Waters Fractionlynx software through monitoring at 210-400 nm, and triggered a threshold collection value at 260 nm and, when using the Fractionlynx, the presence of target molecular ion as observed under API conditions. Collected fractions were analysed by LCMS (Waters Acquity systems with Waters SQD). The diastereomeric separation of compounds was achieved by Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) using a Waters Thar Prep100 preparative SFC system (P200 CO2 pump, 2545 modifier pump, 2998 UV/VIS detector, 2767 liquid handler with Stacked Injection Module). The Waters 2767 liquid handler acted as both auto-sampler and fraction collector. Appropriate isocratic methods were selected based on methanol, ethanol or isopropanol solvent systems under un-modified or basic conditions. The standard SFC method used was modifier, CO2, 100 mL/min, 120 Bar backpressure, 40 °C column temperature. The modifier used under basic conditions was diethylamine (0.1% V/V). The modifier used under acidic conditions was either formic acid (0.1% V/V) or trifluoroacetic acid (0.1% V/V). The SFC purification was controlled by Waters Fractionlynx software through monitoring at 210-400 nm and triggered at a threshold collection value, typically 260 nm. Collected fractions were analysed by SFC (Waters/Thar SFC systems with Waters SQD). The fractions that contained the desired product were concentrated by vacuum centrifugation.

Biological Assays The D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) assays are fluorescence-based assays, in which the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generated from the reaction of D-serine with DAO and Flavine Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD), is linked to oxidation of Amplex Red in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The Amplex Red reagent reacts with H2O2 in a 1:1 stoichiometry to produce the red-fluorescent oxidation product, resorufin, which is measured fluorometrically. Preparation of Assay Ready Plates 100-fold concentrated, 12-point serial dilutions of test compounds (250 nL) in duplicate were prepared using DMSO in 384 well black plates (262260, Nunc) using the Echo555 Acoustic Dispenser (Labcyte). These assay ready plates were employed in the biochemical and cellular screening assays described below.

The plates were incubated at 25˚C for 20 minutes (pre- incubation of compound with human DAO). 10 µL of a working solution containing 125 µM Amplex Red and 0.25 U/mL HRP (A22188, ThermoFisher Scientific) in assay buffer was then added to all the wells. The reaction was initiated by the addition of 5 µL of 50 mM D-Serine (S4250, Sigma-Aldrich) to all the wells.
