Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to substituted pyrazine-carboxamide derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and their use in therapy, particularly in the treatment and / or prevention of neurological and non-neurological conditions associated with mGluR4 function. [Background technology]
[0002] L-glutamate (hereinafter referred to as glutamate) is one of the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitters in the vertebrate brain. Dysfunction of the brain's glutamatergic system often leads to neurological or psychiatric disorders. Therefore, modulation of the glutamatergic system is considered an attractive therapeutic approach. Glutamate acts through different types of glutamate receptors located on the cell surface. These include AMPA receptors, kainate receptors, NMDA receptors, and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) exert their effects through coupling to G proteins and activation of a second messenger system. mGluR subtypes are classified into three groups (based on sequence homology, pharmacology, and a second messenger system), with Group III being the largest group (mGluR4, mGluR6, mGluR7, mGluR8) [Conn and Pin, Annu Rev Pharmacol Toxicol, 1997, 37: 205-237]. Group III mGlu receptors primarily share presynaptic expression (Schoepp, Pharmacol Exp Ther, 2001, 299: 12-20), where they regulate glutamic and GABAic transmission. Activation of Group III receptors (including mGluR4) reduces neurotransmitter release due to its activation of Gαi / o, which leads to attenuated adenylyl cyclase activity.
[0003] mGluR4 receptors are primarily located in the presynaptic terminals of nerve endings. mGluR4 expression is evident in multiple brain regions, with particularly high expression rates in the basal ganglia and cerebellum. Due to its role in regulating mGluR4 expression and neurotransmitter release within related brain circuits, mGluR4 modulators are thought to influence the regulation of excitation / inhibition balance, which is crucial for behavioral control (including Parkinson's disease), impulse control, learning and memory, cognition, anxiety, pain, cerebellar function, epilepsy, and information processing (Marino et al. Ann NY Acad Sci, 2003, 1003: 435-437; Isherwood et al. Neuropharmacology 2017, 123: 249-260; Makoff et al. Mol Brain Res, 1996, 37: 239-248; Davis et al. Neuropharmacology 2013, 66: 365-372; Iscru et al. Genes Brain Behav. 2013, 12: 615-625; Szczurowska and Mares, (Physiol Res, 2012, 61: 619-628) are not the only effects of this drug. Since mGluR4 has been reported to be expressed in peripheral tissues, including but not limited to the islets of Langerhans, it is thought that mGluR4 antagonists may also have therapeutic effects in metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and cancer, but not limited to these (Chang et al. Clin Cancer Res. 2005, 11: 3288-3295; Uhera et al. Diabetes 2004, 53: 998-1006; Nunez-Salces et al. Neurogastroenterol Motil 2020, 32). Since mGluR4 has been reported to be expressed in vagal afferent pathways, as well as in the central satiety pathway and brain circuits, it is thought that antagonists of mGluR4 function may also have therapeutic effects in disorders including, but not limited to, overweight and obesity (Blackshow et al. Front Neurosci 2011, 5: 40; 1-7; Page et al. Br J Pharmacol. 2012, 166: 1537-1558).
[0004] WO21028512 describes aryl sulfonamides as mGluR4 NAM. However, the activity of these compounds appears to be too low to be applicable as pharmaceuticals, and in particular, the activity of acidic aryl sulfonamides appears to be too low because they may be further exposed to the blood-brain barrier, which limits brain exposure for CNS applications.

[0014] The compounds of the present invention are effective mGluR4 negative modulators that inhibit the function of mGluR4, thereby blocking glutamate-induced intracellular cAMP reduction. Thus, the present invention provides compounds for use in the treatment of mGluR4-mediated disorders. The present invention further provides a method for treating mGluR4-mediated disorders in human subjects, comprising administering to a subject a compound, a composition of the compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof of the present invention.
[0015] In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for treating a condition in which the severity of the condition can be reduced by administering a compound described herein that inhibits mGluR4 function by reducing mGluR4 activity, for example, a compound that inhibits glutamate-induced intracellular cAMP reduction. Described herein are measured IC50 for mGluR4 inhibition at 100 nanometers, preferably 50 nM or less. 50 It is a compound that possesses mGluR4 function and is an antagonist. In another embodiment, compounds described herein that are mGluR4 function antagonists may be used to inhibit mGluR4 function, for example, mGluR4-mediated glutamate-induced intracellular cAMP reduction. In some embodiments, compounds described herein may be used to inhibit mGluR4-mediated glutamate-induced intracellular cAMP reduction in vitro, for example, in cells in culture medium. In other embodiments, compounds described herein may be used to inhibit mGluR4-mediated glutamate-induced intracellular cAMP reduction in vivo.
[0016] definition Terms not specifically defined herein should be given the meanings that a person skilled in the art would assign to them in light of this disclosure and context. The terms “negative modulator,” “antagonist,” and “inhibitor” are interchangeable and refer to agents that reduce or suppress biological activity, such as reducing receptor activity, and include negative allosteric modulators (NAMs). The mGluR4 receptor described herein includes homomultimeric and heteromultimeric structures (e.g., homomultimeric mGluR4 and heterologous mGluR4-mGluR2). Inhibitors of mGluR4 function include inhibitors having any combination of the structural and / or functional properties disclosed herein.
[0017] In terms of methods of inhibition or treatment of the subject matter, the “effective dose” of an (mGluR4) antagonist refers to the amount of antagonist in a preparation that, when applied as part of a desired dosage regimen, produces the desired clinical or functional outcome. While not wishing to be bound by theory, an effective dose of an mGluR4 antagonist for use in the methods of the present invention would be the amount of mGluR4 antagonist effective in reducing the in vitro or in vivo function of one or more mGluR4 receptors. Illustrative functions include, but are not limited to, changes in intracellular cAMP, or the release of synaptic neurotransmitters, or changes in neuronal activity or modulation of impulsive behavior. Compounds that antagonize mGluR4 function include compounds that antagonize the in vitro or in vivo functional activity of mGluR4. When a particular functional activity can be immediately observed only in an in vitro assay, the ability of a compound to inhibit mGluR4 function in that in vitro assay acts as a reasonable substitute for the activity of that compound. In certain embodiments, the effective dose is sufficient to inhibit mGluR4-mediated cellular function.
[0018] mGluR4 antagonists for use in the methods of the present invention may be characterized according to their action or lack of action on one or more receptors. When other receptors are referred to, inhibition of the function of such other receptors is similarly defined. For example, receptor inhibition or receptor activation means that the antagonist inhibits the functional activity of one or more of the other receptors. Such functions include, for example, transmembrane signaling, and / or changes in the intracellular concentration of intracellular substances such as cAMP mediated by a particular receptor, and subsequent functions such as neurotransmitter release. The terms "compound" and "agent" are interchangeable and used to refer to the negative modulator of the present invention.
[0019] In the groups, radicals, or subgroups defined below, the number of carbon atoms is often specified before the group; for example, C1-6-alkyl means an alkyl group or radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Generally, for groups containing two or more subgroups, the last designated subgroup is the chemical bond site of the group; for example, the substituent "aryl-C1-3-alkyl-" means an aryl group bonded to a C1-3-alkyl- group, the latter of which is bonded to the core or the group to which the substituent is chemically bonded. If the compounds of the present invention are described in terms of their chemical names and formulas, in the event of any discrepancy, the formula shall prevail. An asterisk can be used in a sub-formula to indicate a bond connected to the defined core molecule.
[0020] Stereochemistry / solvates / hydrates The compounds described herein may be chiral (e.g., having one or more stereocenters). All stereoisomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, are intended unless otherwise specified. Compounds of the present invention containing asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms may be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. Methods for preparing optically active forms from optically active starting materials are known in the art, for example, by the resolution of racemic mixtures or by stereoselective synthesis.
[0021] The separation of racemic mixtures of compounds can be carried out by any of the many methods known in the art. An example of such a method is fractional crystallization using a “chiral resolving agent” which is an optically active, salt-forming organic acid. Suitable resolving agents for fractional crystallization are, for example, optically active acids, such as D and L forms of tartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, lactic acid, or a variety of optically active camphorsulfonic acids, such as β-camphorsulfonic acid. Other suitable resolving agents for fractional crystallization include stereoisomerically pure forms of α-methylbenzylamine (e.g., S- and R- forms, or diastereomerically pure forms), 2-phenylglycinol, norefedrine, ephedrine, N-methylephedrine, cyclohexylethylamine, and 1,2-diaminocyclohexane. The separation of racemic mixtures can also be carried out by elution on a column packed with an optically active resolving agent (e.g., dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine). Suitable elution solvent compositions can be determined by those skilled in the art. The compounds of the present invention also include tautomers, such as keto-enol tautomers.
[0022] Unless otherwise indicated, throughout this specification and the accompanying "Claims," a given chemical formula or name will encompass tautomers and all stereoisomers, optical isomers and geometric isomers (e.g., enantiomers, diastereomers, E / Z isomers) and racemic compounds thereof, as well as mixtures of different enantiomers in different proportions, mixtures of diastereomers, or mixtures of any of the aforementioned forms in which such isomers and enantiomers exist. The compounds of the present invention may also include all isotopes of atoms generated in the intermediate or final compound. For example, the compounds of the present invention may include radioactive isotopes, such as tritium. 3 H) or carbon-14 ( 14 C) may be radiolabeled. All variations of the isotope, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be included within the scope of this invention.
[0023] salt The phrase “medically acceptable” is used herein to mean a compound, material, composition and / or dosage form that is suitable for use without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions, or other problems or complications, and has a reasonable benefit / risk ratio, within the bounds of sound medical judgment. As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” means a derivative of the disclosed compound, wherein the parent compound forms a salt with an acid or a base. Examples of acids that form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with parent compounds containing a basic moiety include mineral acids or organic acids, such as benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, citric acid, ethanesulfonic acid, fumaric acid, gentisic acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrochloric acid, maleic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, salicylic acid, succinic acid, sulfuric acid, and tartaric acid. Also included are salts of amino acids such as alginates, and salts of organic acids such as glucuronic acid and galacturonic acid (see, for example, Berge et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts," Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, 66, 1-19).
[0024] The neutralized form of the compound of the present invention is preferably regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid in a conventional method to isolate the parent compound. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents; otherwise, the salt is equivalent to the parent form of the compound for the purposes of the present invention.
[0025] halogen The term "halogen" generally refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. Alkyl The term "C1-n-alkyl" (wherein n is an integer from 2 to n) refers to an acyclic, saturated, branched, or linear hydrocarbon group having 1 to n carbon atoms, either alone or in combination with another group. For example, the term C1-C5-alkyl includes the following groups: H3C-, H3C-CH2-, H3C-CH2-CH2-, H3C-CH(CH3)-, H3C-CH2-CH2-CH2-, H3C-CH2-CH(CH3)-, H3C-CH(CH3)-CH2-, H3C-C(CH3)2-, H3C-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-, H3C-CH2-CH2-CH(CH3)-, H3C-CH2-CH(CH3)-CH2-, H3C-CH(CH3)-CH2-CH2-, H3C-CH2-C(CH3)2-, H3C-C(CH3)2-CH2-, H3C-CH(CH3)-CH(CH3)-, and H3C-CH2-CH(CH2CH3)-.
[0026] Cycloalkyl The term "C3-n-cycloalkyl" (wherein n is an integer from 4 to n) refers to a cyclic, saturated, unbranched hydrocarbon group having 3 to n carbon atoms, either alone or in combination with another group. For example, the term C3-7-cycloalkyl includes cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and cycloheptyl. Heterocycloalkyl The term "heterocycloalkyl" refers to a saturated or unsaturated, mono- or polycyclic ring system containing an aromatic ring system consisting of 3 to 14 ring atoms, with one or more heteroatoms selected from N, O, or S(O)r (where r=0, 1, or 2), where none of the heteroatoms are part of the aromatic ring. Many of the terms assigned above may be used repeatedly in the definitions of formulas or bases, and in each instance, independently of each other, have one of the meanings assigned above.

After centrifugation, the cell pellet is resuspended in culture medium and then distributed from a stirred spinner flask into the wells of an assay plate. The plate is incubated at room temperature for 1 hour, and then incubated at 37°C / 5% CO2 for 24 hours. The cells are washed three times in the plate with 80 μL of HBSS / HEPES buffer (10 μL of buffer remaining in the wells after washing), and then 5 μL of the compound per well, diluted in HBSS / HEPES buffer containing 0.2% BSA (final concentration: 0.1%), and 1 mM IBMX (final concentration: 0.5 mM) are added to the wells of the assay plate. Subsequently, 1 mM IBMX (final concentration: 0.5 mM) dissolved in HBSS / HEPES buffer containing 5 μL of L-glutamic acid (final concentration: 10 μM), forskolin (final concentration: 1 μM), and 0.2% BSA (final concentration: 0.1%) per well is added to the assay plate (final DMSO concentration: 1%). Several wells of the assay plate are used for either a positive or negative control, or for the cAMP standard curve. The assay plate is incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, 5 μL of anti-cAMP-antibody-d2 solution and 5 μL of cAMP-europium cryptochloride dilution per well are added to all wells of the plate, and the plate is photoprotected at room temperature and incubated for a further 60 minutes. Emissions at 615 nm and 665 nm (excitation wavelength: 320 nm) are measured using an EnVision® reader (PerkinElmer). The ratio between emissions at 665 nm and emissions at 615 nm is calculated using a reader. The entire assay is performed in a dark room or under green light.
[0049] cAMP standards are prepared by diluting the cAMP stock solution with HBSS / Hepes buffer: 5 μl / well of cAMP dilution (in HBSS / Hepes buffer containing 1 mM IBMX and 0.2% BSA - final concentration: 0.5 mM IBMX and 0.1% BSA) is added to the wells of the assay plate, along with 10 μl / well of HBSS / Hepes buffer containing 0.2% BSA + 5 μl / well of 4% DMSO (final DMSO concentration: 1% - as in the well containing the compound). The final cAMP concentrations in the assay plate are 0, 0.17, 0.69, 2.78, 11.1, 44.5, 178, and 712 nM (two wells / cAMP concentration).
[0050] The microtiter plates for each assay also contained a well with a vehicle control (negative control; 100% CTL; 10 μM L-glutamate + 1 μM forskolin + 0.5 mM IBMX + 1% DMSO) instead of the compound as a control for L-glutamate-induced signaling, and a well with a vehicle control without L-glutamate (positive control; 0% CTL; 0 μM L-glutamate + 1 μM forskolin + 0.5 mM IBMX + 1% DMSO) as a control for non-specific changes in the signal. The data analysis is performed by calculating the ratio of emissions at 665 nm to emissions at 615 nm (Em665 / Em615 ratio). Then, the compound signal is normalized using positive and negative controls according to the following formula: PoC = 100 × ((Signal sample - Positive control) / (Negative control - Positive control))
[0051] B. Evaluation of metabolic stability in human liver microsomes (human MSTs) The metabolic stability of the compounds according to the present invention can be studied as follows: The metabolic degeneration of the test compound is assayed at 37°C using stored human liver microsomes. Each time point contains a final incubation volume of 100 μL, consisting of TRIS buffer (0.1 M), MgCl2 (5 mM), microsomal protein (1 mg / mL), and the test compound at a final concentration of 1 μM at pH 7.6 at room temperature. Following a short preliminary incubation period at 37°C, the reaction is initiated by adding beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate in its reduced form (NADPH, 1 mM) and terminated by transferring aliquots to the solvent after different time points. After centrifugation (10000 g, 5 min), aliquots of the supernatant are assayed by LC-MS / MS for the amount of the parent compound. Half-life (t 1 / 2 This is determined by the slope of the semi-logarithmic plot of the concentration-time profile.
[0052] Evaluation of efflux in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells into which the human MDR1 gene has been introduced. The apparent permeability coefficient (PE) of compounds across the MDCK-MDR1 cell monolayer is measured in the apical-to-basal (AB) and basal-to-apical (BA) transport directions (pH 7.4, 37°C). AB permeability (PEAB) represents drug absorption from the blood into the brain, while BA permeability (PEBA) represents drug efflux from the brain back into the bloodstream via both passive permeability and active transport mechanisms mediated by efflux and uptake transporters expressed on MDCK-MDR1 cells, mostly by overexpressed human MDR1P-gp. Compounds are assigned permeability / absorption classes by comparison with the AB permeability of a reference compound with known in vitro permeability and oral absorption in humans. Identical or similar permeability in both transport directions suggests passive permeability and a point of permeability in the vector to further active transport mechanisms. Higher PEBA than PEAB suggests the involvement of active efflux mediated by MDR1 P-gp. Active transport is concentration-dependently saturable.
[0053] MDCK-MDR1 cells (1~2×10e5 cells / 1cm 2Cells were seeded on a filter insert (Costar transwell polycarbonate or PET filter, pore size 0.4 μm) and cultured for 7 days (DMEM). Subsequently, MDR1 expression was increased by culturing the cells in complete medium with 5 mM sodium butyrate for 2 days. The compound was dissolved in a suitable solvent (such as DMSO, a 1-20 mM stock solution). The stock solution was diluted with HTP-4 buffer (128.13 mM NaCl, 5.36 mM KCl, 1 mM MgSO4, 1.8 mM CaCl2, 4.17 mM NaHCO3, 1.19 mM Na2HPO4 × 7H2O, 0.41 mM NaH2PO4 × H2O, 15 mM HEPES, 20 mM glucose, 0.25% BSA, pH 7.4) to prepare a transport solution (0.1-300 μM compound, final DMSO ≤ 0.5%). The transport solution (TL) is applied to the apical or basolateral donor side to measure AB permeability or BA permeability (3 filter repeats), respectively. The receiver side contains the same buffer as the donor side. Samples are collected from the donor at the start and end of the experiment, and also from the receiver side at various time intervals up to 2 hours for concentration measurement by HPLC-MS / MS or scintillation counting. The sampled receiver volume is replaced with unused receiver solution.
[0054] Evaluation of efficacy against impulsive behavior in rats using the 5-choice reaction time task and the 5-CSRTT. The efficacy of the treatment for motor impulse behavior can be studied as follows: 5-CSRTT task training was performed according to the standard protocol (Isherwood et al. Neuropharmacology 2017, 123: 249-260). In short, rats were trained to stick their noses into one of five positions on the curved wall of an operant chamber where a light cue was presented (Med Associates Inc, St. Albans, Vermont). If a rat stuck its nose into the lit position for 1 second or up to 1 second after stimulus presentation, a sugar pellet was delivered into a reward container located across the chamber. Infrared beams at each selection opening and reward container allowed for precise detection of the rat's response to this task related to the operant. Any response at any nose-poking opening that occurred before the start of the light cue (premature response) was defined as motor impulse behavior.
[0055] After achieving stable performance, a new analytical approach was applied, which revealed characteristic (long-term) stability in the number of premature responses made by individual animals over several months. In general, this analysis allowed for reliable stratification of animals into high-impulse and low-impulse groups based on a long-term assessment of the number of premature responses they made during training.
[0056] All subjects received both the vehicle and the compound on separate days, with each dose separated by approximately two weeks, in a crossover experiment. The order of vehicle and compound administration was randomized within the subjects, while a third group received atomoxetine on both experimental days as a technical control. As a standardized numerical threshold for impulse levels, animals with >40 premature responses in the vehicle (out of 200 initiated trials) were labeled as high impulse, and animals with <40 premature responses were labeled as low impulse. Importantly, this numerical threshold-based labeling overlapped >80% with long-term analysis of the training data (as described above). The high convergence of these two approaches to stratification allowed us to reliably compare the compound effects in consistently high-impulse rats with those in consistently low-impulse rats in the 5-CSRTT. Biological data
[0057] [Table 1]
[0058] The compound of the present invention is structurally different from the structurally closest compound in the prior art (i.e., Examples 8, 12, 125 and Intermediate-250 in WO2019 / 138017) in that the heterocyclic linkage as a carboxamide is a pyrazine (6-membered heteroaryl) group rather than a pyrazole or isoxazole moiety (5-membered heteroaryl). While the structurally closest compound disclosed in WO2019 / 138017 is the immunomodulator (IL-17 modulator) disclosed therein, the compound of the present invention is unexpectedly a highly potent mGluR4 negative modulator (see Table 2). The structurally closest compound disclosed in WO2019 / 138017 was tested in Assay A and found to lack therapeutic activity as an mGluR4 modulator (Table 1). Unexpectedly, the compound of the present invention is >100-fold potent in Assay A (compare the data in Table 1 with the data in Table 2).

[0161] NMR method: NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AVANCE IIIHD 400MHz instrument using TopSpin3.2pl6 software. Chemical shifts were assigned in δ units, downfield from an internal reference such as trimethylsilane and / or water and / or solvent (e.g., d6-DMSO) to parts per million (ppm). Selected data were reported in the following manner: chemical shift (multiplicity, coupling coefficient (J), number of hydrogens). Abbreviations are as follows: s (singularity), d (doubleity), t (triplicity), q (quadripleity), spt (septuplicity), m (multiplicity), br (broadly multiplicity). [Examples]
