Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to novel heterocyclic compounds. The present invention is also directed to compounds that are modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), preferably modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 7 ("mGluR7"). The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, methods for preparing such compounds and compositions, and the use of such compounds and compositions for the prevention or treatment of disorders associated with glutamate dysfunction or disorders involving metabotropic glutamate receptors, preferably disorders involving the mGluR7 subtype of metabotropic glutamate receptor. [Background technology]

[0002] Glutamate is the major amino acid neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and plays a key role in several physiological functions, including learning and memory, sensory perception, the development of synaptic plasticity, and motor control. Furthermore, glutamate is central to several neurological and psychiatric disorders in which an imbalance in glutamatergic neurotransmission is observed.

[0003] Glutamate regulates synaptic neurotransmission through activation of mGluRs. Class C G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), to which mGluRs belong, play a regulatory role, contributing to the fine-tuning of synaptic efficacy (Schoepp et al. Neuropharmacology (1999), 38:1431). In particular, mGlu receptor subtype 7 (mGluR7) is widely distributed in the brain and exhibits the highest degree of evolutionary conservation among all mGlu receptor species (Flor et al. Neuropharmacol. (1997), 36:153). More importantly, mGluR7 has the lowest affinity for glutamate and is inactive under normal neurotransmission conditions, becoming active only under severe pathophysiological conditions or excessive glutamate release (Ferraguti and Shigemoto, Cell Tissue Res. (2006), 326:483). MGluR7 is thought to act as a tonic break, inhibiting further release of glutamate by affecting the release of other neurotransmitters (e.g., GABA), preventing glutamate excitotoxicity, which is involved in many pathologies of CNS and sensory disorders.

[0004] Specifically, modulators of mGluR7, preferably antagonists, inverse agonists, and negative allosteric modulators (NAMs), have been reported to be potential therapeutic approaches for neurological, psychiatric, and mood disorders, as well as pain and hearing impairment, which are thought to be associated with clinical syndromes based on experimental studies using laboratory animals.

[0005] Isoxazolopyridinone derivatives, such as MMPIP (6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-3-(4-pyridinyl)-isoxazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-4(5H)-one hydrochloride), have been reported to be mGluR7 NAMs (Nakamura et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. (2010), 20:726; Suzuki et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. (2007), 323:147), and have shown partial to complete antagonism of mGluR7 in vivo and in vitro, demonstrating context-dependent pharmacology (Niswender et al., Mol. Pharmacol. (2010), 77:459; Hikichi et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol. (2010), 10, 106). MMPIP also exerts inverse agonist activity due to the constitutive activity of mGluR7 (Cieslik et al., Front. Mol. Neurosci., 20 September 2018, doi:10.3389 / fnmol.2018.00316).

[0006] Tetrahydrobenzoxazole derivatives, such as (+)-6-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-2-ethyl-6,7-dihydrobenzo[d]oxazol-4(5H)-one (ADX71743) and its racemic form, are mGluR7 NAMs or inverse agonists and have been reported to exhibit anxiolytic and antipsychotic activities (Kalinichev et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. (2013), 344:624; Cieslik et al., Front. Mol. Neurosci., 20 September 2018, doi:10.3389 / fnmol.2018.00316).

[0007] Chromenone derivatives, such as 7-hydroxy-3-(4-indophenoxy)-4H-chromen-4-one (XAP044), are reported to be weak mGluR7 allosteric antagonists that bind to the extracellular domain of the receptor. XAP044 has been shown to have anxiolytic, antidepressant, antistress, and antipsychotic activities (Gee et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2014), 289:10975).

[0008] Combinatorial expression of mGluR7 in brain regions using genetically engineered and wild-type mice, as well as pharmacological manipulation of mGluR7, are revealing its important role in many CNS disorders, including depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and related conditions (reviewed by Pallazo et al., Curr. Neuropharmacol. (2016), 14(5): 504), and especially acute and chronic stress-related disorders (reviewed by Peterlik et al., Curr. Neuropharmacol. (2016), 14(5): 514). Furthermore, mGluR7 has also provided a novel therapeutic tool for the treatment of psychostimulant drug (i.e., nicotine and cocaine) dependence (Li and Markou, CNS Neurol. Disord. Drug Targets (2015), 14(6):738; Li et al., Neuropharmacology (2013), 66:12). Furthermore, the mGluR7 NAM MMPIP and the allosteric antagonist XAP44 have been shown to suppress pain responses, alleviate anxiety- and depression-like behaviors, and improve cognitive performance in mouse models of neuropathic pain (Pallazzo et al., Pain (2015), 156(6):1060).

[0009] Furthermore, mGluR7 has been reported to be expressed in peripheral tissues such as the colonic mucosa and stomach (Julio-Pepper et al., Pharmacol. Rev. (2011), 63:35), suggesting that it may also be effective in treating pathologies such as visceral pain and stress-related gastrointestinal dysfunction, such as diarrhea or constipation in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other related disorders.

[0010] Furthermore, mGluR7 has been reported to be expressed in hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons of the inner ear (Friedman et al. (2008) WO2008 / 131439), as well as within the vestibular system (Zhou et al., Int J Mol. Sci. (2013) 14(11):22857; Horii et al., Exp. Brain Res. (2001) 139(2):188), suggesting that it may be effective in treating conditions related to the inner ear and auditory nervous system, such as age-related hearing loss (presbycusis), noise-induced hearing loss, acute and chronic hearing loss, tinnitus, Meniere's disease, and vestibular disorders.

[0011] mGluR7 has been shown to be expressed at the synaptic terminals of certain cone bipolar cells in the retina (Brandstatter et al., (1996) J. Neurosci., 16(15):4749-4756), suggesting that mGluR7 modulators may also be effective in the acute and chronic treatment of glaucoma and other visual disorders.

[0012] Finally, multiple genome-wide human studies have also demonstrated an association between GRM7, the gene encoding mGluR7, and severe disease. For example, age-related hearing loss (ARHL) / presbycusis has been reported by Friedman et al. (Hum. Mol. Genet. (2009), 18:785), Van Laer et al. (Eur. J. Hum. Genet. (2010), 18:685), Newman et al. (Hear. Res. (2012), 294:125), Luo et al. (Plos One (2013), 8(10):e77153), and more recently by Haider et al. (Front. Aging Neurosci. (2017), 9:346) and Matyas et al. (Pathol. Oncol. Res. (2018), doi: 10.1007 / s12253-018-0388-6). Noise-induced hearing loss has been reported by Lu et al. (BMC Med. Genet. (2018), 19(1):4). Tinnitus has been reported by Haider et al. (Front. Aging Neurosci. (2017), 9:346). Schizophrenia has been reported by Niu et al. (Neurosci. Lett. (2015), 604:109). Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been reported by Elia et al. (Nat. Genet. (2011), 44:78). Major depressive disorder has been reported by Li et al. (Eur. Neuropsychopharmacol. (2015), doi: 10.1016 / j.euroneuro.2015.05.004).Bipolar disorder has been reported by Kandaswamy et al. (Am. J. Med. Genet. B. Neuropsychiatr. Genet. (2015), 165B(4):365). Alcohol-related dependence has been reported by Vadasz et al. (Genomics (2007), 90(6):690). Autism spectrum disorders, e.g., autism, have been reported by Liu et al. (Am. J. Med. Genet. B. Neuropsychiatr. Genet. (2015), 168B(4):258).

[0013] Taken together, these pharmacological and genetic data strongly support the potential efficacy of mGluR7 modulators for the treatment of a wide range of diseases and related conditions, spanning psychiatric, neurological, and neurodevelopmental disorders, otalgia, pain, visual disorders, and gastrointestinal disorders.

As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the term "solvate" refers to a complex of variable stoichiometry formed by a solute (e.g., a compound of formula (I)) and a solvent. The present invention encompasses any solvated form of a compound of formula (I) in solid form. The present invention encompasses, for example, solvates with water (e.g., hydrates), or solvates with organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, or acetonitrile (commonly known as methanolates, ethanolates, or acetonitriles, respectively), or any polymorphs thereof. Such solvents may not interfere with the biological activity of the solute.

[0108] Pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs of compounds usable in the present invention, particularly compounds of Formula (I), are derivatives that have chemically or metabolically cleavable groups and are converted into pharmaceutically active compounds in vivo by solvolysis or under physiological conditions. Prodrugs of compounds usable in the present invention can be formed by conventional methods using functional groups of the compounds, such as amino, hydroxy, or carboxy groups. Prodrug derivative forms often offer advantages in terms of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in mammals, including humans (see Bundgaard, H., Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well known to those skilled in the art, such as esters prepared by reacting parent acidic compounds with a suitable alcohol or amides prepared by reacting parent acidic compounds with a suitable amine. When the compound used in the present invention, particularly the compound of formula (I), has a carboxyl group, examples of prodrugs include ester derivatives prepared by reacting the carboxyl group with an appropriate alcohol, and amide derivatives prepared by reacting the carboxyl group with an appropriate amine. Particularly preferred ester derivatives as prodrugs include methyl esters, ethyl esters, n-propyl esters, i-propyl esters, n-butyl esters, and i-butyl esters. When the compound used in the present invention has a hydroxyl group, examples of prodrugs include acyloxy derivatives obtained by reacting the hydroxyl group with an appropriate acyl halide or an appropriate acid anhydride. When the compound used in the present invention has an amino group, examples of prodrugs include amide derivatives obtained by reacting the amino group with an appropriate acid halide or an appropriate mixed anhydride.

[0109] The compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or prodrug thereof may be administered as a compound per se or formulated as a pharmaceutical. The present invention includes within its scope pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or prodrug thereof as an active ingredient. Such pharmaceutical compositions may optionally contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, such as carriers, diluents, fillers, disintegrants, lubricants, binders, colorants, pigments, stabilizers, preservatives, or antioxidants.

[0164] The amount of a compound of the present invention that can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dose will vary depending on the disease being treated, the mammalian species being treated, the particular mode of administration, etc. However, as a general guideline, a suitable unit dose of a compound of the present invention preferably contains, for example, 0.1 mg to about 1000 mg of active compound. A preferred unit dose is 1 mg to about 500 mg. A more preferred unit dose is 1 mg to about 300 mg. An even more preferred unit dose is 1 mg to about 100 mg.

[0165] Such a unit dose can be administered two or more times daily, for example, two, three, four, five, or six times daily, preferably once or twice daily. For a 70 kg adult, the total dose can be adjusted so that the single dose is in the range of 0.001 to about 15 mg per kg of body weight. A preferred single dose is 0.01 to about 1.5 mg per kg of body weight. Such treatment can be continued for weeks or months, or even years. However, the specific dose level for an individual patient will, of course, vary depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the activity of the specific compound used, the age, weight, general health, sex, diet, etc., of the individual being treated, the time and route of administration, excretion rate, other drugs previously administered to the subject, and the severity of the particular disease for which the subject is being treated.

[0166] Typical dosages include a tablet of 1 mg to about 100 mg or 1 mg to about 300 mg taken once a day or multiple times a day, or a sustained-release capsule or tablet containing a relatively high concentration of the active ingredient taken once a day. The sustained-release effect can be achieved by using multiple capsule materials with different dissolving pH values, capsule or gel formulations with an osmotic sustained-release effect, or other known controlled-release means.

[0167] It may be necessary to use dosages outside these ranges in some cases, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. It should also be noted that a clinician or treating physician will know how and when to initiate, interrupt, adjust, or terminate treatment depending on an individual patient's response. [Example]

[0741] C.Analysis Department Melting point: Values ​​are peak values ​​and are obtained with the experimental error normally associated with this analytical method. For many compounds, melting points were determined on a YRT-3 apparatus using open capillary tubes. Melting points were measured with a temperature gradient of 1.5°C / min. The maximum temperature was 270°C. Melting points were read from a digital display. For some compounds, a DSC method was used according to the following conditions:

[0742] [Table 2]

[0743] LCMS method: High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) measurements were performed using an LC pump, diode array, or UV detector. The flow from the column was directed to a mass spectrometer (MS) configured with an atmospheric pressure ion source. By appropriately setting tuning parameters, it is within the knowledge of one skilled in the art to obtain ions that allow identification of the apparent monoisotopic molecular weight (MW) and / or the exact mass monoisotopic molecular weight of a compound. Data collection was performed using appropriate software. An ES MS detector was used, and data was acquired in both positive and negative ionization modes.

[0744] Compounds can be described using molecular ions corresponding to [M+H] (protonated molecule) and / or [MH] (deprotonated molecule). For molecules with multiple isotopic patterns (Br, Cl), the reported value is that obtained at the lowest isotopic mass. All results are subject to experimental error normally associated with the method used.

[0745] NMR: 1 H NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian 400 MHz spectrometer. Chemical shifts are expressed in parts per million (ppm, δ units). Splitting patterns indicate apparent multiplicity and are designated as s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet), q (quartet), m (multiplet), or br (broad line).

[0746] SFC-MS: Preparative chiral separations were performed using a Waters 2998 PDA detector equipped with a preparative instrument. The specific methods used are described below, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0747] [Table 3]

[0748] Optical rotation: Optical rotations were measured using a Rudolph AUTOPOL V polarimeter at 20°C using a sodium lamp (589 nm) at a concentration of 10 mg / mL and methanol or chloroform as the solvent. The sign (+ or -) and degree (°) of rotation are shown in Table 1.

[0750] In vitro pharmacology The compounds of formula (I), (II) and (III) are antagonists or negative allosteric modulators of mGluR7 because they reduce or inhibit the mGluR7 response induced by mGluR7 agonists such as glutamate or L-AP4.

[0751] Suitable methods for the characterization of such compounds, more particularly compounds according to formula (I), are described below.

[0752] Inositol monophosphate synthesis assay (IP1 assay): Membrane preparation and protocol: HEK293 cells were transiently transfected with mGluR7 by electroporation and seeded at a density of 150,000 cells / well in polyornithine-coated 96-well plates. To enable monitoring of receptor activity by measuring inositol monophosphate (IP1) production, mGluR7 was transfected with a chimeric Gq / Gi protein (Gqtop). To avoid the influence of extracellular glutamate, mGluR7 was cotransfected with the glutamate transporter EAAC1. Cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM; Invitrogen, Cergy-Pontoise, France) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Glutamax® was used. TM The medium was replaced with 100 mL of 1000 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) (Invitrogen, Cergy Pontoise, France) to reduce extracellular glutamate concentrations 3 hours before stimulation.

[0753] CisBio Bioassays' HTRF-based assays can measure various cell signaling pathways and, based on the results, determine the production of the second messenger inositol phosphate (IP). IP production was determined using the IP-One HTRF kit (CisBio Bioassays), a competitive immunoassay using cryptate-labeled anti-IP1 antibody and d2-labeled IP, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Each point was performed in triplicate.

[0754] Data analysis Data were analyzed using Prism 6 software (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA). In principle, data were fitted using a four-parameter concentration-response curve equation for each experiment. Potency (IC 50 ) is the logarithm (logIC 50 ) Data w...
