Description

4-,5-,6- and 7-Indole derivatives useful for the treatment of CNS disorders
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a novel class of 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-indole derivatives having affinity for the dopamine D4 receptor. The compounds are useful in the treatment of certain psychiatric and neurologic disorders, in particular psychoses.
Background of the Invention.
Dopamine D receptors belong to the dopamine D2 subfamily of receptors, which is considered to be responsible for the antipsychotic effects of neuroleptics. The side effects of neuroleptic drugs which primarily exert their effect via antagonism of D2 receptors are known to be due to D2 receptor antagonism in the striatal regions of the brain. However, dopamine D4 receptors are primarily located in areas of the brain other than striatum, suggesting that selective antagonists of the dopamine D4 receptor will be devoid of extrapyramidal side effects. This is illustrated by the antipsychotic clozapine which exerts higher affinity for D4 than D receptors and is lacking extrapyramidal side effects (Van Tol et al. Nature 1991, 350, 610; Hadley Medicinal Research Reviews 1996, 16, 507-526, and Sanner Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents 1998, 8, 383-393).
A number of D4 ligands which were postulated to be selective D4 receptor antagonists ( - 745,879 and U-101958) have been shown to posses antipsychotic potential (Mansbach et al. Psychopharmacology 1998, 135, 194-200). However, recently it has been reported that these compounds are partial D receptor agonists in various in vitro efficacy assays (Gazi et al. Br. J. Pharmacol. 1998, 124, 889-896 and Gazi et al. Br. J. Pharmacol. 1999, 128, 613- 620). Furthermore, it was shown that clozapine, which is an effective antipsychotic is a silent D4 antagonist (Gazi et al. Br. J. Pharmacol. 1999, 128, 613-620).
Consequently, D4 ligands, which are partial D4 receptor agonists or antagonists, may have beneficial effects against psychoses. Dopamine D antagonists may also be useful for the treatment of cognitive deficits (Jentsch et al. Psychopharmacology 1999, 142, 78-84).
It has also been suggested that selective dopamine D antagonists may be useful to reduce dyskinesia occurring as a result of the treatment of Parkinson's disease with L-dopa (Tahar et al. Eur. J. Pharmacol. 2000, 399, 183-186).
Furthermore, evidence for a genetic association between the "primarily inattentive" subtype of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and a tandem duplication polymorphism in the gene encoding the dopamine D4 receptor has been published (McCracken et al. Mol. Psychiat. 2000, 5, 531-536). This clearly indicates a link between the dopamine D4 receptor and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and ligands affecting this receptor may be useful for the treatment of this particular disorder
Accordingly, dopamine D receptor ligands are potential drugs for the treatment of psychoses, the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, cognitive deficits, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and dyskinesia resulting from treatment of Parkinson's disease with L-Dopa.
In particular, the compounds of the invention are considered useful in the treatment of positive symptoms of schizophrenia without inducing extrapyramidal side effects.
A number of dopamine D4 ligands which can be described by the general formula
wherein Het is 3-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridinyl, 2-benzimidazolyl, 3-indazolyl, 2-indolyl, 3- indolyl, 3-benzofuranyl, imidazo[l,2-a]pyridinyl, 3-furo[2,3-b]pyridinyl and 3-benzofuranyl and Ar is optionally substituted phenyl or heteroaryl, have been described in WO 94/20459, WO 94/20497, WO 94/22839, WO 94/21630, WO 94/24105, WO 99/09025, WO 95/29911, WO 96/25414, US 5.700.802 andJ. Med. Chem. 1996, 39(19), 1941-2.
EP patent application No. 164 633 relates to compounds of the formula
wherein Ar is optionally substituted phenyl or thienyl, n is 2-4 and Ind is optionally substituted 4-indolyl. The compounds are said to inhibit binding of dopamin agonists and -antagonists to striatal receptors and to have sedative, tranquilizing, antidepressive neuroleptic, analgetic and antihypertensive effect. The application does not present any biological test results.
EP patent No. 372 667 relates to compounds having the formula
wherein Ar is 2-methoxyphenyl or 1-napthyl, n is 2-4 and R is various heterocyclic rings, e.g. 5-oxindole. The compounds are said to have neuroleptic activity, and data showing the ability of the compounds to bind to dopamine D2 receptors are presented in the application.
EP patent No. 0 281 309 describes certain piperazinyl-heterocyclic compounds of the formula
wherein A together with the phenyl to which it is attached form quinolyl, 2- hydroxyquinolyl, benzothiazolyl, 2-aminobenzothiazolyl, benzisothiazolyl, indazolyl, 3- hydroxyindazolyl, indolyl, etc., and Ar is optionally substituted naphthyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl, indolyl, etc. Notably n is 1 or 2. The compounds are said to be useful for the treatment of psychoses and the mechanism of action is primarily via modulation of the dopamine D2-receptor, the serotonine 5-HT2A-receptor and the alfa-adrenergic receptor (J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, pp.143-148).
According to the present invention, a novel group of compounds which are selective dopamine D4 ligands is provided.

The total daily dose is usually in the range of about 0.05 - 500 mg, and most preferably about 0.1 to 50 mg of the active compound of the invention.
The compounds of the invention may be prepared as follows:
a) Reducing the amide group of a compound of formula II
wherein R, R1, R2, R3, X and the dotted line are as previously defined.
b) Reductive alkylation of an amine of the formula III with an aldehyde of formula IV

The reduction according to method a) is preferably carried out in an inert organic solvent such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran in the presence of alane or lithium aluminium hydride from 0 °C to reflux temperature. Starting compounds of formula (II) are generally prepared by coupling of an amine of formula (III) with an appropriately substituted indolyl carboxylic acid by standard methods via the carboxylic acid chloride, activated esters or by the use of carboxylic acids in combination with a coupling reagent such as e.g. dicyclohexyl carbodiimide. Amines of formula (III) are either commercially available or can be prepared by standard literature methods (see e.g. J. Med. Chem. 1991, 34, 2014-2023; J.Med. Chem. 1998, 41, 658-667). 3-(piρeridin-4-yl)-lH-indoles and (3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridin-4-yl}-lH- indoles have been described in the literature (see EP-A1-465398). The reduction according to method b) is carried out by a standard one-pot procedure, e.g. using a reductive amination of amines of formula (III) and aldehydes of formula (IN). Starting compounds of formula (IV) and appropriately substituted indolyl carboxylic acids are either commercially available or can be synthesised by methods described in the literature or in standard works such as Ηouben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry), Georg-Thieme-Nerlag, Stuttgart; Organic Reactions, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. New York, namely under reaction conditions such as those which are known and suitable for such reactions.
The reduction of the double bond according to method c) is generally performed by catalytic hydrogenation at low pressure (< 3 arm.) in a Parr apparatus, or by using reducing agents such as diborane or hydroboric derivatives as produced in situ from NaBΗ4 in trifluoroacetic acid in inert solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane or diethyl ether. Experimental Section
Melting points were detennined on a Bϋchi SMP-20 apparatus and are uncorrected. Analytical LC-MS data were obtained on a PE Sciex API 150EX instrument equipped with IonSpray source and Shimadzu LC-8A SLC-10A LC system. The LC conditions (C18 column 4.6 x 30 mm with a particle size of 3.5 μm) were linear gradient elution with water/acetonitrile/trifluoroacetic acid (90:10:0.05) to water/acetonitrile/trifluoroacetic acid (10:90:0.03) in 4 min at 2 mlJmin. Purity was determined by integration of the UN trace (254 nm). The retention times, Rt, are expressed in minutes.
Mass spectra were obtained by an alternating scan method to give molecular weight information. The molecular ion, MH+, was obtained at low orifice voltage (5-20N) and fragmentation at high orifice voltage (100-200N). Preparative LC-MS-separation was performed on the same instrument. The LC conditions (C18 column 20 x 50 mm with a particle size of 5 μm) were linear gradient elution with water/acetonitrile/trifluoroacetic acid (80:20:0.05) to water/acetonitrile/trifluoroacetic acid (5:95:0.03) in 7 min at 22.7 mL/min. Fraction collection was performed by split-flow MS detection. 1H ΝMR spectra were recorded at 500.13 MHz on a Bruker Avance DRX500 instrument or at 250.13 MHz on a Bruker AC 250 instrument. Deuterated chloroform (99.8%D) or dimethyl sulfoxide (99.9%D) were used as solvents. TMS was used as internal reference standard. Chemical shift values are expressed in ppm- values. The following abbreviations are used for multiplicity of ΝMR signals: s=singlet, d=doublet, t=triplet, q=quartet, qui=quintet, h=heptet, dd=double doublet, dt=double triplet, dq=double quartet, tt=triplet of triplets, m=multiplet. ΝMR signals corresponding to acidic protons are generally omitted. For column chromatography silica gel of type Kieselgel 60, 230-400 mesh ASTM was used. For ion-exchange chromatography (SCX, 1 g, Narian Mega Bond Elut®, Chrompack cat. No. 220776) was used. Prior use of the SCX-columns was pre-conditioned with 10% solution of acetic acid in methanol (3 mL). Examples
la, 5-[[4-(4-chlorophenyl)piperazin-l-yl]methyl]-lH-indole,
Indole-5-carboxylic acid (1.62 g) was dissolved in dry THF (20 mL). Carbonyl diimidazole (1.62 g) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 60 min. 4-(4- chlorophenyl)piperazine (1.9 g) dissolved in dry THF (20 mL) was added in one portion and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the remaining solid was dissolved in EtOAc (400 mL), washed with 10% aqueous sodium carbonate (100 mL), 1 M acetic acid (100 ml), brine (100 mL), dried (MgSO4) and evaporated in vacuo to give a white solid (2.3 g).
