The present invention relates to spiro-cyclic
amine derivatives of the formula (I)whereinR1 is selected fromcyano,(2-4C)alkenyl, (2-4C)alkynyl, (1-4C)
alkyl each optionally substituted with CN or one or more fluoro atoms,(3-6C)cycloalkyl, (4-6C)cycloalkenyl or a (8-10C)bicyclic group, each optionally substituted with
halogen or (1-4C)
alkyl,phenyl,
biphenyl, naphthyl, each optionally substituted with one or more substituents independently selected from
halogen, cyano, (1-6C)
alkyl optionally substituted with one or more fluoro atoms, (1-6C)alkoxy optionally substituted with one or more fluoro atoms, amino, di(1-4C)alkylamino and (3-6C)cycloalkyl optionally substituted with phenyl which may be substituted with (1-4C)alkyl or
halogen,phenyl substituted with phenoxy, benzyl, benzyloxy, phenylethyl or monocyclic heterocycle, each optionally substituted with (1-4C)alkyl optionally substituted with one or more fluoro atoms,monocyclic heterocycle optionally independently substituted with halogen, (1-6C)alkyl optionally substituted with one or more fluoro atoms, (3-6C)cycloalkyl, or phenyl optionally substituted with (1-4C)alkyl or halogen,andbicyclic heterocycle optionally substituted with halogen or (1-4C)alkyl optionally substituted with one or more fluoro atoms;—Y—(Cn-alkylene)-X— is a linking group whereinY is attached to R1 and selected from a bond, —O—, —CO—, —S—, —SO—, —SO2—, —NH—, —CH═CH—, —C(CF3)═CH—, —C≡C—, —CH2—O—, —O—CO—, —CO—O—, —CO—NH—, —NH—CO—, and trans-cyclopropylene;n is an integer from 0 to 10; andX is attached to the
phenylene / pyridyl
moiety and selected from a bond, —O—, —S—, —SO—, —SO2—, —NH—, —CO—, —CH═CH—, and trans-cyclopropylene;R2 is H or independently selected from one or more substituents selected from halogen, (1-4C)alkoxy and (1-4C)alkyl optionally substituted with one or more fluor atoms; andR3 is (1-4C)alkylene-R4 wherein the alkylene group may be substituted with one or more halogen atoms or with (CH2)2 to form a cyclopropyl
moiety, or R3 is (3-6C)cycloalkylene-R4, —CH2-(3-6C)cycloalkylene-R4, (3-6C)cycloalkylene-CH2—R4 or —CO—CH2—R4, wherein R4 is —OH, —PO3H2, —OPO3H2, —COON, —COO(1-4C)alkyl or tetrazol-5-yl;Q is a bond or —O—;—W—T— is selected from —CH═CH—, —CH2—CH2—, —CH2—O—, —O—CH2—, —O—CH2—CH2—, and —CO—O—;R5 is H or independently selected from one or more halogens;Z is CH, CR2 or N; andA represents a
morpholine ring structure or a 5-, 6- or 7-membered cyclic amine;or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a solvate or
hydrate thereof or one or more N-oxides thereof.The compounds of the invention have affinity to S1P receptors and may be used in the treatment, alleviation or prevention of diseases and conditions in which (a) S1P
receptor(s) is (are) involved.
