FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to novel 5-chlorobenzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-one derivatives having pharmacological activity, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in the treatment of various disorders.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Kynurenine monooxygenase (KMO) is a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) dependent monooxygenase located on the outer mitochondrial membrane. KMO is known to oxidise L-Kynurenine (KYN) to 3-hydroxykynurenine (3HK) as part of the major route of catabolism of tryptophan. 3HK is then converted to 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid and quinolinic acid by kynureninase (KYNU) and 3-hydroxyanthranilate 3,4-dioxygenase (3-HAAO).
[0003] KMO is highly expressed in tissues including the liver, placenta, kidney [Alberati-Giani, FEBS Lett. 410:407-412(1997)] endothelial cells and monocytes and at a lower level in microglia and macrophages in the brain.
[0004] Increased levels of 3HK and quinolinic acid and red...
