Benefits of technology

[0010]The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are useful for the prevention and treatment of disorders, such as CNS disorders, which are characterized by an alteration of normal neurotranismitter release. The pharmaceutical compositions provide therapeutic benefit to individuals suffering from such disorders and exhibiting clinical manifestations of such disorders in that the compounds within those compositions, when employed in effective amnounts, have the potential to: (i) exhibit nicotinic pharmacology and affect relevant nicotinic receptors sites (e.g.,act as a pharmacological agonist to activate nicotinic receptors), and / or (ii) modulate neurotransmitter secretion and thus prevent and suppress the symptoms associated with those diseases. In addition, the compounds are expected to have the potential to fulfill the following results for the patient: (i) to alter the number of nicotinic cholinergic receptors of the brain of the patient, (ii) to exhibit neuroprotective effects and (iii) to result in no appreciable adverse side effects when administered in effective amounts—side effects such as significant increases in blood pressure and heart rate, significant negative effects upon the gastrointestinal tract, and significant effects upon skeletal muscle. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are believed to be safe and effective with regards to prevention and treatment of a wide variety of conditions and disorders.

Problems solved by technology

It would be highly beneficial to provide individuals suffering from certain disorders (e.g., CNS diseases) with interruption of the symptoms of those disorders by the administration of a pharmaceutical composition containing an active ingredient having nicotinic pharmacology and which has a beneficial effect (e.g., upon the functioning of the CNS), but which does not provide any significant associated side effects.
It would be highly desirable to provide a pharmaceutical composition incorporating a compound with interacts with nicotinic receptors, such as those which have the potential to effect the functioning of the CNS, but, when employed in an amount sufficient to effect the fimctioning of the CNS, does not significantly effect those receptor subtypes which have the potential to induce undesirable side effects (e.g., appreciable activity at cardiovascular and skeletal muscle sites).

example 1

[0109]Sample No. 1 is (1S,4S)-2-(5-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-3-pyridyl)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane hernigalactarate, which was prepared in accordance with the following techniques:

3-Bromo-5-(4-methoxyphenoxy)pyridine

[0110]To a stirred suspension of sodium hydride (3.0 g of 80% in mineral oil, 100 mmol) in DMF (95 mL) in an ice water bath, 4-methoxyphenol (12.2 g, 96 mmol) was added slowly under a nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting mixture was warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for 1 h. 3,5-Dibromopyridine (15.6 g of 98%, 65 mmol) was added and the mixture was then heated at 85° C. (bath temperature) for 32 h. The mixture was cooled, diluted with water (120 mL), poured into 5N sodium hydroxide (15 mL), and extracted with ether (3×150 mL). The combined ether extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated by rotary evaporation, to give a light-yellow oil (21.9 g). The oil was diluted with ethanol and rotary evaporated (twice) to remove residual DMF and then diluted with et...

[0115]Sample No. 2 is (1S,4S)-2-(5-(3-methoxyphenoxy)-3-pyridyl)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane hernigalactarate, which was prepared in accordance with the following techniques:

3-Bromo-5-(3-methoxyphenoxy)pyridine

[0116]Following a procedure similar to that described for the preparation of 3-bromo-5-(4-methoxyphenoxy)pyridine, 3-bromo-5-(3-methoxyphenoxy)pyridine was prepared using 3-methoxyphenol (2.79 g, 0.023 mole), 75% sodium hydride suspension in oil (0.72 g, 0.023 mol) in dimethyl-formamide (20 mL) and 3,5-dibromopyridine (3.55 g, 0.015 mol). The reaction was worked up using water (50 mL), 5 N NaOH solution (5 mL), and diethyl ether (3×50 mL), and a yellow oil (4.6 g) was obtained as crude product. This oil was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with cyclohexane-ethyl acetate (92.5:7.5, v / v). Selected fractions containing the product were concentrated via rotary evaporation to give 2.3 g (55%) of a yellow oil.

[0121]Sample No. 3 is (1S,4S)-2-(5-(4-fluorophenoxy)-3-pyridyl)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane dihydrochloride, which was prepared in accordance with the following techniques:

3-Bromo-5-(4-fluorophenoxy)pyridine

[0122]Sodium hydride (1.53 g of 80% in mineral oil, 51 mmol) was slowly added to a solution of 4-fluorophenol (5.6 g, 50 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) as it was stirred and cooled (ice water bath) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting mixture was warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for 1 h. 3,5-Dibromopyridine (5.9 g, 25 mmol) was added and the mixture was then heated at 90° C. (bath temperature) for 62 h. The mixture was cooled, diluted with water (150 mL), poured into 5N sodium hydroxide (150 mL), and extracted with diethyl ether (2×150 mL). The combined ether extracts were washed with water, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated by rotary evaporation. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel, using 5% ethyl acetate: hexane as eluent, to yield 1.4...
