Benefits of technology

The present patent relates to methods, compounds, and compositions for promoting smoking cessation or reducing tobacco use and nicotine addiction. The compounds described in the patent are designed to selectively modulate the function of a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which plays a role in the addictive effects of nicotine. The compounds can be administered as pharmaceutical compositions or as selective antagonists for the receptor. The technical effects of the patent include promoting smoking cessation, reducing tobacco use, and treating nicotine addiction.

Problems solved by technology

Consequently, providing therapeutic treatment for smoking addiction is an extremely difficult challenge.
Tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, pipes and smokeless tobacco, can cause a variety of well-recognized health problems.
However, some individuals cannot quit smoking tobacco products, in spite of focused attempts to succeed.
One major factor in the difficulty of quitting smoking is the presence of nicotine in tobacco.
For complex reasons, this method is not always entirely successful.
Varenicline, a partial nicotine agonist, has been used for smoking cessation, but there is some evidence that varenicline produces increased risk of heart attack, stroke and / or other cardiovascular problems and neuropsychiatric side effects.
For example, the nonselective antagonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors mecamylamine has been used to promote smoking cessation; however, due to undesirable side effects, it is generally ineffective alone.
Compounds which act as nicotine substitutes and block nicotine's effects would be preferred smoking cessation agents, but are difficult to identify.
In spite of the known methods for treating smoking addiction, there remains a lack of generally effective means of treating and / or reducing smoking addiction.

Synthesis of 2′-Fluoro-3′-(4-substituted-phenyl)deschloroepibatidine analogues

[0061]

X═SO2NH2 (RTI-7527-192), SO2CF3 (RTI-7527-193), CF3 (RTI-7527-153), SO2CH3 (RTI-7527-154), CN(RTI-7527-155)

[0062]The steps in the synthesis of 2′-fluoro-3′-(4-benzenesulfonamide), 2′-fluoro-3′-(4-trifluoromethanesulfonyl phenyl), 2′-fluoro-3′-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl), 2′-fluoro-3′-(4-methanesulfonylphenyl), and 2′-fluoro-3′-(4-cyanophenyl) deschloroepibatidines were carried out as represented in Schemes 1-4 below.

[0063]Heck-cross coupling of olefin 1, followed by bromination of 3 and fluorination of 4 via the Sandmeyer reactions were all performed to provide the 2′-fluoro-3′-bromo compound 5. Boc re-protection was achieved by stirring 5 in the presence of Boc anhydride, Et3N and DMAP in THF as the solvent to furnish compound 6. Suzuki-Miyaura borylation of 2′-fluoro-3′-bromo deschloroepibatidine (6) was performed through a microwave assisted cross-coupling of 6 with bis(pinacolato)diboron in the pre...

Experimental Procedures

7-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-2-exo-(2′-fluoro-3′-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-5′-pyridinyl)-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (7)

[0070]

[0071]In a microwave vial was placed 7-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2-exo-(2′-fluoro-3′-bromo-5′-pyridinyl)-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (6) (214 mg, 0.578 mmol, 1.0 equiv), bis(pinacolato)diboron (176 mg, 0.694 mmol, 1.2 equiv), KOAc (170 mg, 1.73 mmol, 3.0 equiv), Pd(dppf)Cl2 (21 mg, 0.0289 mmol, 5 mol %) and anhydrous 1,4-dioxane (3 mL). The mixture was degassed through bubbling nitrogen for 20 min and then was irradiated in a microwave at 140° C. for 15 min. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc, filtered through a plug of Celite and anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was purified by flash chromatograph through an ISCO column (EtOAc-hexanes) to provide 200 mg (83%) of 7 as a colorless oil.

After cooling to room temperature, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was re-dissolved in EtOAc. Water (20 mL) was added and the organic product extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered through Celite and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified on silica ge...
