Description

[0001] NOVEL PHENYLALKYLAMINES AND THEIR USE IN THE TREATMENT OF PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE Psychiatric illnesses, including depression and anxiety, represent a serious detriment to health and effective human functioning worldwide. Although a number of psychiatric medications are available and extensively prescribed, they fail to deliver relief for many individuals. For those patients who do respond, changes in mood and behavior are often slow to manifest. In recent years, these persistent unmet needs for improved pharmacotherapies to treat psychiatric disorders have led to consideration of previously maligned options. For example, classical serotonergic hallucinogens such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), psilocybin, and dimethyltryptamine (DMT), have been considered as experimental therapeutics for a variety of psychiatric indications. However, such compounds induce profound hallucinogenic effects, which inhibit normal functioning of individuals so treated. Accordingly, these compounds are currently classified as Schedule I drugs under the Controlled Substances Act due to their high abuse potential, no accepted medical use, and lack of established safety. Such effects are mediated largely through engagement of serotonin receptors. Of particular importance is agonism of the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2A), which is responsible for the problematic hallucinogenic activity of these compounds but also thought to be critical for their purported therapeutic effects. Accordingly, compounds of this type that would deliver therapeutic benefits while limiting hallucinogenic activity, and therefore the potential for abuse and adverse events, would be of high therapeutic value. SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE The present disclosure relates to a compound of Formula (I): 1 (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein: R1is H, methyl, ethyl, -CH2-OH, -CH2-O-(methyl), -CH2F, or -CH2CH2F; R2 is H, C1-C5 alkyl, C3-C5 cycloalkyl, C3-C5 alkenyl, or C3-C5 alkynyl, wherein alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and cycloalkyl are optionally substituted with one or more F; R3is H, C1-C3 alkyl, cyclopropyl, or F, wherein alkyl and cyclopropyl are optionally substituted with one or more F; R6 is H, C1-C3 alkyl, cyclopropyl, or F, wherein alkyl and cyclopropyl are optionally substituted with one or more F; R4 is C2-C8 alkyl, C2-C8 alkenyl, C2-C8 alkynyl, C3-C8 cycloalkyl, -(C1-C5 alkyl)- (C3-C6 cycloalkyl), -S-(C1-C8 alkyl), -S-(C3-C8 alkenyl), -S-(C3-C8 alkynyl), -S-(C3-C8 cycloalkyl), -S-(C1-C5 alkyl)-(C3-C6 cycloalkyl), Cl, Br, I, CF3, NO2, or SF5, wherein alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl are optionally substituted with one or more F, and wherein cycloalkyl is optionally substituted with one or more F, C1-C5 alkyl, C2-C5 alkenyl, or C2-C5 alkynyl, or R4is C2 alkyl substituted with one or more F, C3-C8 alkyl, C2-C8 alkenyl, C2-C8 alkynyl, C3-C8 cycloalkyl, -(C1-C5 alkyl)-(C3-C6 cycloalkyl), -S-(C1-C8 alkyl), -S-(C3-C8 alkenyl), -S-(C3-C8 alkynyl), -S-(C3-C8 cycloalkyl), -S-(C1-C5 alkyl)-(C3-C6 cycloalkyl), NO2, or SF5, wherein alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl are optionally substituted with one or more F, wherein cycloalkyl is optionally substituted with one or more F, C1-C5 alkyl, C2-C5 alkenyl, or C2-C5 alkynyl, and wherein R4 is not isopropyl; R5 is C1-C5 alkyl, C2-C5 alkenyl, C2-C5 alkynyl, C3-C5 cycloalkyl, -S(O)(O)-(C1-C5 alkyl), NH2, NH(C1-C5 alkyl), or N(C1-C5 alkyl)2, wherein alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and cycloalkyl are optionally substituted with one or more F, or R5 is F, Cl, Br, I, -S-(C1-C5 alkyl), CN, or NO2, wherein alkyl is optionally substituted with one or more F; with the provisos that when R5is C1-C5 alkyl, C2-C5 alkenyl, C2-C5 alkynyl, C3-C5 cycloalkyl, -S(O)(O)-(C1-C5 alkyl), NH2, NH(C1-C5 alkyl), or N(C1-C5 alkyl)2, wherein alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and cycloalkyl are optionally substituted with one or more F, then R4 is C2-C8 alkyl, C2-C8 alkenyl, C2-C8 alkynyl, C3-C8 cycloalkyl, -(C1-C5 alkyl)-(C3-C6 cycloalkyl), - S-(C1-C8 alkyl), -S-(C3-C8 alkenyl), -S-(C3-C8 alkynyl), -S-(C3-C8 cycloalkyl), -S-(C1-C5 alkyl)-(C3-C6 cycloalkyl), Cl, Br, I, CF3, NO2, or SF5, wherein alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl are optionally substituted with one or more F, and wherein cycloalkyl is optionally substituted with one or more F, C1-C5 alkyl, C2-C5 alkenyl, or C2-C5 alkynyl, or when R5 is F, Cl, Br, I, -S-(C1-C5 alkyl), CN, or NO2, wherein alkyl is optionally substituted with one or more F, then R4is C2 alkyl substituted with one or more F, C3-C8 alkyl, C2-C8 alkenyl, C2-C8 alkynyl, C3-C8 cycloalkyl, -(C1-C5 alkyl)-(C3-C6 cycloalkyl), -S-(C1- C8 alkyl), -S-(C3-C8 alkenyl), -S-(C3-C8 alkynyl), -S-(C3-C8 cycloalkyl), -S-(C1-C5 alkyl)- (C3-C6 cycloalkyl), NO2, or SF5, wherein alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl are optionally substituted with one or more F, wherein cycloalkyl is optionally substituted with one or more F, C1-C5 alkyl, C2-C5 alkenyl, or C2-C5 alkynyl, and wherein R4 is not isopropyl; R7 is H, -CH2-(aryl), or -CH2-(heteroaryl), wherein aryl and heteroaryl are optionally substituted with one or more substituents independently selected from the group consisting of halo, CN, OH, NH2, NO2, C1-C5 alkyl, C2-C5 alkenyl, C2-C5 alkynyl, C3-C5 cycloalkyl, - O-(C1-C5 alkyl), -O-(C3-C5 alkenyl), -O-(C3-C5 alkynyl), -O-(C3-C5 cycloalkyl), -S-(C1-C5 alkyl), -S-(C3-C5 alkenyl), -S-(C3-C5 alkynyl), and -S-(C3-C5 cycloalkyl), wherein alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and cycloalkyl are optionally substituted with one or more F, and wherein any two adjacent substituents on aryl or heteroaryl, together with the atoms to which they are connected, form a 4-6-membered ring optionally interrupted by 1-3 heteroatoms selected from O, N, and S; with the further provisos that: (a) when R2 is methyl, R3 is methyl, R4 is Cl or Br, R5 is methyl, R6 is H, and R7 is H, then R1is not H or methyl; (b) when R1 is H or methyl, R2 is H or methyl, R3 is H, R5 is methyl, R6 is H, and R7 is H, then R4 is not Cl; (c) when R1is H, R2is methyl, R3is H, R5is CF3, R6is H, and R7is ortho-methoxybenzyl, then R4is not Br; (d) when R1is H, R2is H, R3is H, R5is Cl, R6is H, and R7is H or benzyl, then R4is not cyclohexyl; and (e) when R1 is methyl, R2 is H, R3 is H, R5 is NH2, R6 is H, and R7 is H, then R4 is not Cl.

In the present specification, the term “therapeutically effective amount” means the amount of the subject compound that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, or animal, (e.g. mammal or human) that is being sought by the researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor, or other clinician. The compounds of the disclosure are administered in therapeutically effective amounts to treat a disease. Alternatively, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound is the quantity required to achieve a desired therapeutic and / or prophylactic effect, such as an amount which results in a decrease in symptoms of a psychiatric disorder, including, but not limited to, reducing the frequency or severity of sadness or lethargy, depressed mood, anxious or sad feelings, diminished interest in all or nearly all activities, significant increased or decreased appetite leading to weight gain or weight loss, insomnia, irritability, fatigue, feelings of worthlessness, feelings of helplessness, inability to concentrate, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide; or providing a desired pharmacologic and / or physiologic effect, for example, reducing, inhibiting, or reversing one or more of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the neurological dysfunction, modulating dopamine levels or signaling, modulating serotonin levels or signaling, modulating norepinephrine levels or signaling, modulating glutamate or GABA levels or signaling, modulating synaptic connectivity or neurogenesis in certain brain regions, or a combination thereof. The precise dosage will vary according to a variety of factors, such as subject-dependent variables (e.g., age, immune system health, clinical symptoms, and the like), the disease or disorder being treated, as well as the route of administration and the pharmacokinetics of the agent being administered. Unless indicated to the contrary, the terms “drugs” and “medicament” are synonymous. As used herein, the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” “including,” “has,” “having,” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a composition, process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements, but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such composition, process, method, article, or apparatus. Also, the use of “a” or “an” are employed to describe elements and components described herein. This is done merely for convenience and to give a general sense of the scope of the invention. This description should be read to include one or at least one. Moreover, the singular also includes the plural and vice versa unless it is obvious that it is meant otherwise. Further, unless expressly stated to the contrary, “or” refers to an inclusive “or” and not to an exclusive “or.” For example, a condition A or B is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or present), and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not present), and B is true (or present), and both A and B are true (or present). Moreover, the term “and / or” is synonymous with the term “or”, as used herein. When a range or list of values is expressed, an embodiment includes the endpoint of the ranges and / or list and all the points therebetween. For example, a range of 6 to 9, includes the value 6 and 9 and all values therebetween. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the values range from about the two endpoints, where “about” is defined as herein described. All ranges are inclusive and combinable. Further, reference to values stated in ranges includes each and every value within that range. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt(s)" as used herein refers to salts of acidic or basic groups that may be present in compounds used in the compositions. Compounds included in the present compositions that are basic in nature are capable of forming a wide variety of salts with various inorganic and organic acids. The acids that may be used to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of such basic compounds are those that form non-toxic acid addition salts, i.e., salts containing pharmaceutically acceptable anions, including, but not limited to, malate, oxalate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, nitrate, sulfate, bisulfate, phosphate, acid phosphate, isonicotinate, acetate, lactate, salicylate, citrate, tartrate, oleate, tannate, pantothenate, bitartrate, ascorbate, succinate, maleate, gentisinate, fumarate, gluconate, glucaronate, saccharate, formate, benzoate, glutamate, methanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, and pamoate (i.e., 1,1'-methylene-bis-(2- hydroxy-3-naphthoate)) salts. Compounds included in the present compositions that are acidic in nature are capable of forming a wide variety of salts with various inorganic and organic bases. The bases that may be used to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable base salts of such acidic compounds are those that form non-toxic base salts, i.e., salts containing pharmaceutically acceptable cations. Examples of such salts include alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts, particularly calcium, magnesium, sodium, lithium, zinc, potassium, and iron salts. Compounds included in the present compositions that include a basic or acidic moiety may also form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with various amino acids. The compounds of the disclosure may contain both acidic and basic groups, for example, one amino and one carboxylic acid group. In such a case, the compound can exist as an acid addition salt, a zwitterion, or a base salt. The compounds of the disclosure may contain one or more chiral centers and, therefore, exist as stereoisomers. The term “stereoisomers” when used herein refers to all enantiomers or diastereomers. Specific stereoisomers of such compounds may be designated by the symbols “R”, or “S,” depending on the configuration of substituents around the stereogenic carbon atom, but the skilled artisan will recognize that a structure may denote a chiral center implicitly. The present disclosure encompasses various stereoisomers of these compounds in pure form and mixtures thereof. Mixtures of enantiomers or diastereomers may be designated “(±)” in nomenclature, but the skilled artisan will recognize that a structure may denote a chiral center implicitly. The compounds of the disclosure may contain one or more double bonds and, therefore, exist as geometric isomers resulting from the arrangement of substituents around a carbon- carbon double bond. The symbol denotes a bond that may be a single, double or triple bond as described herein. Substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond are designated as being in the “Z” or “E” configuration wherein the terms “Z” and “E” are used in accordance with IUPAC standards. Unless otherwise specified, structures depicting double bonds encompass both the “E” and “Z” isomers. Substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond alternatively can be referred to as “cis” or “trans,” where “cis” represents substituents on the same side of the double bond and “trans” represents substituents on opposite sides of the double bond. Compounds of the disclosure may contain a carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring and therefore, exist as geometric isomers resulting from the arrangement of substituents around the ring. The arrangement of substituents around a carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring are designated as being in the “Z” or “E” configuration wherein the terms “Z” and “E” are used in accordance with IUPAC standards. Unless otherwise specified, structures depicting carbocyclic or heterocyclic rings encompass both “Z” and “E” isomers. Substituents around a carbocyclic or heterocyclic rings may also be referred to as “cis” or “trans”, where the term “cis” represents substituents on the same side of the plane of the ring and the term “trans” represents substituents on opposite sides of the plane of the ring. Mixtures of compounds wherein the substituents are disposed on both the same and opposite sides of the plane of the ring are designated “cis / trans.” Individual enantiomers and diastereomers of compounds of the present disclosure can be prepared synthetically from commercially available starting materials that contain asymmetric or stereogenic centers, or by preparation of racemic mixtures followed by resolution methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. These methods of resolution are exemplified by (1) attachment of a mixture of enantiomers to a chiral auxiliary, separation of the resulting mixture of diastereomers by recrystallization or chromatography, and liberation of the optically pure product from the auxiliary, (2) salt formation employing an optically active resolving agent, (3) direct separation of the mixture of optical enantiomers on chiral liquid chromatographic columns, or (4) kinetic resolution using stereoselective chemical or enzymatic reagents. Racemic mixtures can also be resolved into their component enantiomers by well-known methods, such as chiral-phase liquid chromatography or crystallizing the compound in a chiral solvent. Stereoselective syntheses, a chemical or enzymatic reaction in which a single reactant forms an unequal mixture of stereoisomers during the creation of a new stereocenter or during the transformation of a pre-existing one, are well known in the art. Stereoselective syntheses encompass both enantio- and diastereoselective transformations, and may involve the use of chiral auxiliaries. For examples, see Carreira and Kvaerno, Classics in Stereoselective Synthesis, Wiley-VCH: Weinheim, 2009. In some embodiments, a composition prepared herein may be enriched in a specific enantiomer of any compound disclosed herein relative to the corresponding opposite enantiomer of that compound, such that the mixture is not racemic. In such cases, the subject mixture of isomers is understood to have an enantiomeric excess and optical purity >0%. The enantiomeric excess or optical purity of the isomeric mixture may be, for example, >0%, >5%, >25%, >50%, >75%, >90%, >95%, >97%, >98%, or >99%. The enantiomeric excess or optical purity of the isomeric mixture may be, for example, 5-100%, 25-100%, 50-100%, 75-100%, 90-100%, 95- 100%, 97-100%, 98-100%, or 99-100%. Thus, for example, contemplated herein is a composition including the S enantiomer of a compound substantially free of the R enantiomer, or the R enantiomer substantially free of the S enantiomer. Further, if the named compound includes more than one chiral center, the scope of the present disclosure also includes compositions containing the various stereoisomers and diastereomers, including mixtures of varying proportions between the various stereoisomers and / or diastereomers or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, as well as compositions including one or more stereoisomers and diastereomers substantially free of one or more of the other stereoisomers and / or diastereomers, respectively. By “substantially free” in this context, it is meant that the composition includes less than, for example, 50%, 25%, 15%, 10%, 8%, 5%, 3%, 2%, or 1% of the minor enantiomer or diastereomer(s). For example, the expression that a compound is enantiomerically pure refers to the compound being substantially free of other stereoisomers, including any other enantiomers or diastereomers. For clarity, in the context of the present disclosure, chemical structures of a compound depicted with a specific stereochemical orientation at any particular chiral center, as defined by wedge and dash notation, are intended to represent the specified stereoisomer of said compound in substantially pure form, or a mixture enriched in the stereoisomer(s) with the specified stereochemical orientation at the defined chiral center over the stereoisomer(s) with the opposite orientation at said chiral center. The compounds disclosed herein can exist in solvated as well as unsolvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like, and it is intended that the disclosure embrace both solvated and unsolvated forms. In one embodiment, the compound is amorphous. In one embodiment, the compound is a single polymorph. In another embodiment, the compound is a mixture of polymorphs. In another embodiment, the compound is in a crystalline form. The disclosure also embraces isotopically labeled compounds of the disclosure which are identical to those recited herein, except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine, such as2H,3H,13C,14C,15N,18O,17O,31P,32P,35S,18F, and36Cl, respectively. For example, a compound of the disclosure may have one or more H atoms replaced with deuteriums. Certain isotopically-labeled disclosed compounds (e.g., those labeled with3H and14C) are useful in compound and / or substrate tissue distribution assays. Compounds incorporating tritium (i.e.,3H) or carbon-14 (i.e.,14C) isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, due to the kinetic isotope effect, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e.,2H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosage requirements, or attenuation of the formation of one or more metabolites) and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Isotopically labeled compounds of the disclosure can generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to those disclosed in the examples herein by substituting an isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent. As used in the chemical structures herein, the symbol “D” indicates a deuterium-enriched H-site wherein the isotopic composition of the site is enriched to a level greater than the natural abundance of deuterium. The level of deuterium enrichment at such a site may thus be, for example, greater than 0.02%, greater than 10%, greater than 20%, greater than 30%, greater than 40%, greater than 50%, greater than 60%, greater than 70%, greater than 80%, greater than 90%, greater than 95%, greater than 97%, greater than 98%, or greater than 99%.

[0006] V. REMARKS REGARDING COMPOUNDS The three sets of compounds of Formula (I) contain seven variables, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7. The disclosure has not identified all combinations and permutations of these various variables with each set of compounds of Formula (I). Nevertheless, these compounds of all three sets of Formula (I) as well as their pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are part of the present disclosure and are contemplated to be within the scope thereof. Further, the compounds of each of the sets of Formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as well as the miscellaneous compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof contain chiral centers, and thus can exist in various stereoisomeric forms. The various stereoisomers, including enantiomers and diastereomers, in both substantially pure form as well as mixtures thereof, including racemic and scalemic mixtures, are part of the present disclosure and are contemplated to be within the scope thereof. In embodiments, any of the compounds disclosed herein containing one or more chiral centers can be a pure enantiomeric (R or S) or diastereomeric version thereof. Salts of compounds of the present disclosure can be prepared by the reaction of a compound of the present disclosure with an appropriate acid or base in a suitable solvent, or mixture of solvents (such as an ether, for example, diethyl ether, or an alcohol, for example ethanol, or an aqueous solvent) using conventional procedures. Salts of compounds of the present disclosure can be exchanged for other salts by treatment using conventional ion- exchange chromatography procedures or reformation of the free base or free acid followed by reaction with an alternative acid or base, respectively. Where it is desired to obtain a particular enantiomer of a compound of the present disclosure, this may be produced from a corresponding mixture of enantiomers by employing any suitable conventional procedure for resolving enantiomers. For example, diastereomeric derivatives (such as salts) can be produced by reaction of a mixture of enantiomers of a compound of the present disclosure (such as a racemate) and an appropriate chiral compound (such as a chiral acid). The diastereomers can then be separated by any conventional means such as crystallization, and the desired enantiomer recovered (such as by treatment with a base in the instance where the diastereomer is an acid salt). Alternatively, a racemic mixture of esters can be resolved by kinetic hydrolysis using a variety of biocatalysts (for example, see Patel Stereoselective Biocatalysts, Marcel Decker; New York 2000). In another resolution process, a racemate of a compound of the present disclosure can be separated using chiral High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Alternatively, a particular enantiomer can be obtained by using an appropriate chiral intermediate in one of the processes described above. Chromatography, recrystallisation, and other conventional separation procedures may also be used with intermediates or final products where it is desired to obtain a particular diastereomer, regioisomer, or geometric isomer of the compounds disclosed herein PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND KITS Another aspect of the disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of Formula (I) and the miscellaneous compounds as disclosed herein formulated together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In particular, the present disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds as disclosed herein formulated together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Pharmaceutical compositions typically include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in which the one or more active compounds are contained (e.g., dissolved, suspended, or admixed). As well known, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is composed of one or more substances that are considered safe and effective. The carrier includes all components present in the pharmaceutical formulation other than the active ingredient(s). The term “carrier” includes, but is not limited to, diluents, binders, lubricants, glidants, disintegrants, fillers, and coating compositions. Suitable dosage forms for a compound disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, oral forms, such as tablets, hard or soft gelatin capsules, powders, granules and oral solutions, syrups or suspensions, troches, as well as sublingual, buccal, intratracheal, intraocular, or intranasal forms, forms adapted to inhalation, topical forms, transdermal forms, or parenteral forms, for example, forms adapted for intravenous, intra-arterial, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intraventricular, intramuscular or subcutaneous administration. In embodiments, for such parenteral administration, it may be in the form of a sterile aqueous solution which may contain other substances, for example, enough salts or glucose to make the solution isotonic with blood. The aqueous solutions should be suitably buffered (preferably to a pH of from 3 to 9), if necessary. The preparation of suitable parenteral formulations under sterile conditions is readily accomplished by standard pharmaceutical techniques well known to those skilled in the art. The pharmaceutical formulations include those suitable for oral, topical, buccal, parenteral (e.g., subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, or intravenous), rectal, vaginal, intranasal, aerosol, or vaporization administration, although the most suitable form of administration in any given case will depend on the degree and severity of the condition being treated and on the nature of the particular compound being used. For example, disclosed compositions may be formulated as a unit dose, and / or may be formulated for oral or subcutaneous administration. Exemplary pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure may be used in the form of a pharmaceutical preparation, for example, in solid, semisolid or liquid form, which contains one or more of the compounds of the disclosure, as an active ingredient, in admixture with an organic or inorganic carrier or excipient suitable for external, enteral or parenteral applications. The active ingredient may be compounded, for example, with the usual non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for tablets, pellets, capsules, suppositories, solutions, emulsions, suspensions, and any other form suitable for use. The active object compound is included in the pharmaceutical composition in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect upon the process or condition of the disease. For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient may be mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, e.g., conventional tableting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate or gums, and other pharmaceutical diluents, e.g., water, to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the disclosure, or a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. In solid dosage forms for oral administration (capsules, tablets, pills, dragees, powders, granules and the like), the subject composition is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and / or any of the following: (1) fillers or extenders, such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and / or silicic acid; (2) binders, such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sucrose and / or acacia; (3) humectants, such as glycerol; (4) disintegrating agents, such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; (5) solution retarding agents, such as paraffin; (6) absorption accelerators, such as quaternary ammonium compounds; (7) wetting agents, such as, for example, acetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; (8) absorbents, such as kaolin and bentonite clay; (9) lubricants, such a talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof; and (10) coloring agents. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the compositions may also comprise buffering agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugars, as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. A tablet may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared using binder (for example, gelatin or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose), lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, disintegrant (for example, sodium starch glycolate or cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), surface- active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the subject composition moistened with an inert liquid diluent. Tablets, and other solid dosage forms, such as dragees, capsules, pills and granules, may optionally be scored or prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical-formulating art. Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the subject composition, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, cyclodextrins and mixtures thereof. Suspensions, in addition to the subject composition, may contain suspending agents as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof. Formulations for rectal or vaginal administration may be presented as a suppository, which may be prepared by mixing a subject composition with one or more suitable non- irritating excipients or carriers comprising, for example, cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, a suppository wax or a salicylate, and which is solid at room temperature, but liquid at body temperature and, therefore, will melt in the body cavity and release the active agent. Dosage forms for transdermal administration of a subject composition include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. The active component may be mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants which may be required. The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to a subject composition, excipients, such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof. Powders and sprays may contain, in addition to a subject composition, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays may additionally contain customary propellants, such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons and volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons, such as butane and propane. Compositions and compounds of the present disclosure may alternatively be administered by aerosol. This is accomplished by preparing an aqueous aerosol, liposomal preparation or solid particles containing the compound. A non-aqueous (e.g., fluorocarbon propellant) suspension could be used. Sonic nebulizers may be used because they minimize exposing the agent to shear, which may result in degradation of the compounds contained in the subject compositions. Ordinarily, an aqueous aerosol is made by formulating an aqueous solution or suspension of a subject composition together with conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and stabilizers. The carriers and stabilizers vary with the requirements of the particular subject composition, but typically include non-ionic surfactants (Tweens, Pluronics, or polyethylene glycol), innocuous proteins like serum albumin, sorbitan esters, oleic acid, lecithin, amino acids such as glycine, buffers, salts, sugars or sugar alcohols. Aerosols generally are prepared from isotonic solutions. Pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure suitable for parenteral administration comprise a subject composition in combination with one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders which may be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use, which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient or suspending or thickening agents. Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers which may be employed in the pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils, such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters, such as ethyl oleate and cyclodextrins. Proper fluidity may be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. In another aspect, the disclosure provides enteral pharmaceutical formulations including the compound of Formula (I) or miscellaneous compounds and an enteric material; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient thereof. Enteric materials refer to polymers that are substantially insoluble in the acidic environment of the stomach, and that are predominantly soluble in intestinal fluids at specific pHs. The small intestine is the part of the gastrointestinal tract (gut) between the stomach and the large intestine, and includes the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The pH of the duodenum is about 5.5, the pH of the jejunum is about 6.5 and the pH of the distal ileum is about 7.5. Accordingly, enteric materials are not soluble, for example, until a pH of about 5.0, of about 5.2, of about 5.4, of about 5.6, of about 5.8, of about 6.0, of about 6.2, of about 6.4, of about 6.6, of about 6.8, of about 7.0, of about 7.2, of about 7.4, of about 7.6, of about 7.8, of about 8.0, of about 8.2, of about 8.4, of about 8.6, of about 8.8, of about 9.0, of about 9.2, of about 9.4, of about 9.6, of about 9.8, or of about 10.0. Exemplary enteric materials include cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate (HPMCP), polyvinyl acetate phthalate (PVAP), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS), cellulose acetate trimellitate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose succinate, cellulose acetate succinate, cellulose acetate hexahydrophthalate, cellulose propionate phthalate, cellulose acetate maleate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate, copolymer of methylmethacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate, copolymer of methyl acrylate, methylmethacrylate and methacrylic acid, copolymer of methylvinyl ether and maleic anhydride (Gantrez ES series), ethyl methacrylate-methylmethacrylate-chlorotrimethylammonium ethyl acrylate copolymer, natural resins such as zein, shellac and copal collophorium, and several commercially available enteric dispersion systems (e. g. , Eudragit L30D55, Eudragit FS30D, Eudragit L100, Eudragit S100, Kollicoat EMM30D, Estacryl 30D, Coateric, and Aquateric). The solubility of each of the above materials is either known or is readily determinable in vitro. The foregoing is a list of possible materials, but one of skill in the art with the benefit of the disclosure would recognize that it is not comprehensive and that there are other enteric materials that would meet the objectives of the present disclosure. Pharmaceutical compositions herein may also be provided with immediate release, delayed release, extended release, or modified release profiles. In embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions with different drug release profiles may be combined to create a two-phase or three-phase release profile. For example, pharmaceutical compositions may be provided with an immediate release and an extended-release profile. In embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions may be provided with an extended release and delayed release profile. Such composition may be provided as pulsatile formulations, multilayer tablets, or capsules containing tablets, beads, granules, or the like. The pharmaceutical composition may also include one or more auxiliary agents. The auxiliary agent(s), also may also be referred to as accessory ingredient(s), include any of the additional conventional substances of the art, such as fillers, binders, diluents, disintegrants, lubricants, colorants, flavoring agents, anti-oxidants, and wetting agents. Such auxiliary agents are suitably selected with respect to the intended form and route of administration and as consistent with conventional pharmaceutical practices. The present disclosure also provides kits for use by, e.g., a consumer in need of treatment with the compound of Formula (I) and / or the miscellaneous compounds. Such kits include a suitable dosage form such as those described above and instructions describing the method of using such dosage form to treat a medical disorder, for example, a psychiatric disease or disorder. The instructions direct the user to administer the dosage form according to administration modes known to those skilled in the art. Such kits could advantageously be packaged and sold in single or multiple kit units. An example of such a kit is a so-called blister pack. Blister packs are well known in the packaging industry and are being widely used for the packaging of pharmaceutical unit dosage forms (tablets, capsules, and the like). Blister packs generally consist of a sheet of relatively stiff material covered with a foil of a preferably transparent plastic material. During the packaging process recesses are formed in the plastic foil. The recesses have the size and shape of the tablets or capsules to be packed. Next, the tablets or capsules are placed in the recesses and the sheet of relatively stiff material is sealed against the plastic foil at the face of the foil which is opposite from the direction in which the recesses were formed. As a result, the tablets or capsules are sealed in the recesses between the plastic foil and the sheet. Preferably the strength of the sheet is such that the tablets or capsules can be removed from the blister pack by manually applying pressure on the recesses whereby an opening is formed in the sheet at the place of the recess. The tablet or capsule can then be removed via said opening. It may be desirable to provide a memory aid on the kit, e.g., in the form of numbers next to the tablets or capsules whereby the numbers correspond with the days of the regimen which the tablets or capsules so specified should be ingested. Another example of such a memory aid is a calendar printed on the card, e.g., as follows “First Week, Monday, Tuesday, .. . etc. .. . Second Week, Monday, Tuesday, .. .etc”. Other variations of memory aids will be readily apparent. A “daily dose” can be a single tablet or capsule or several pills or capsules to be taken on a given day. Also, a daily dose of a first compound can consist of one tablet or capsule while a daily dose of the second compound can consist of several tablets or capsules and vice versa. The memory aid should reflect this. Also contemplated herein are methods and compositions that include a second active agent or administering a second active agent.

GENERAL SYNTHESIS The compounds disclosed herein are prepared by art recognized methods. The compounds of Formula (I) as well as the miscellaneous compounds described herein can be prepared in a number of ways based on the teachings contained herein and synthetic procedures well known in the art. In the description of the synthetic methods described below, it is to be understood that all proposed reaction conditions, including choice of solvent, reaction atmosphere, reaction temperature, duration of the experiment, and workup procedures, can be chosen to be the conditions standard for that reaction, unless otherwise indicated. It is understood by one skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the functionality present on various portions of the molecule should be compatible with the reagents and reactions proposed. Substituents not compatible with the reaction conditions will be apparent to one skilled in the art, and alternate methods are therefore indicated. The starting materials for the examples are either commercially available or are readily prepared by standard methods from known materials. EXAMPLES The following non-limiting examples further illustrate the teachings in the present disclosure. Throughout the following examples, several compounds are prepared in substantially enantiomerically pure form via chiral supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) separation of a racemic mixture of the compound itself or a synthetic intermediate that is then converted to the compound while maintaining the same absolute stereochemistry at the chiral center. Enantiomerically pure compounds prepared in this way are assigned as enantiomer 1 (E1) or enantiomer 2 (E2), where these terms denote the first and second eluting enantiomer, respectively, from the indicated chiral SFC method. However, the absolute stereochemistry of these enantiomerically pure compounds was not determined experimentally, so in the context of the examples, the assignment of E1 or E2 to R or S stereochemistry in the drawn schemes should be considered arbitrary.
