Description
The invention relates to a cyclic amine compound, a therapeutical composition and medical treatment of senile dementia.
Statement of Prior Arts
With a rapid increase in the population of aged people, the establishment of the therapy for senile dementia, such as Alzheimer senile dementia, is eagerly desired.
Various attempts have been made to treat the senile dementia with a drug. So far, however, there has been no drug which is very useful for the treatment of these diseases.
studies on the development of therapeutic agents for these diseases have been made from various aspects. Particularly, since Alzheimer senile dementia is accompanied by the lowering in cholinergic hypofunction, the development of the therapeutic agent from the aspect of an acetylcholine precursor and an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor was proposed and has in fact been attempted. Representative examples of the anticholinesterase inhibitors include physostigmine and tetrahydroaminoacridine. However, these drugs have drawbacks such as an unsatisfactory effect and the occurrence of unfavorable side effects. At the present time, there are no decisive therapeutic agents.
In view of the above situation, the present inventors have made extensive and intensive studies on various compounds for many years with a view to developing a drug which has a persistent activity and a high safety.
As a result, the present inventors have found that a piperidine derivative represented by the following general formula (I) can attain the desired object.
Specifically, the compound of the present invention represented by the following general formula (I) has great advantages of having strong and highly selective antiacetylcholinesterase activity, increasing the amount of acetylcholine present in the brain, exhibiting an excellent effect on a model with respect to disturbance of memory, and having a persistent activity and a high safety when compared with physostigmine which is a conventional popular drug in the art, which renders the compound of the present invention very valuable.
The compound of the present invention was found based on the acetylcholinesterase inhibitory action and, therefore, is effective for treatment and prevention of various diseases which are thought to be derived from the deficiency of acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter in vivo.
Examples of such diseases include various kinds of dementia including Alzheimer senile dementia and further include Huntington's chorea, Pick's disease, and ataxia.
Therefore, the objects of the present invention are to provide a novel piperidine derivative effective as a pharmaceutical, particularly for treatment and prevention of central nervous system disease, to provide a process for preparing the same, and to provide a pharmaceutical comprising the same as an effective ingredient.

The compound as defined in the procedure 1 can be obtained also in the following way. ##STR54## The compound of J-H such as indanone is reacted with an aldehyde by the conventional Aldol condensation to obtain an intended compound. The reaction may be carried out in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran by first producing lithium di-isopropylamide from diisopropylamine and a n-butylhexane solution of lithium, adding thereto a compound of J-H at a temperature of preferably about minus 80.degree. C., then adding the aldehyde thereto, effecting the reaction in the conventional way, heating the production mixture up to the room temperature to conduct dehydration and obtain the enone body of the intended compound. In another manner, the two reactants are dissolved in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, a base such as sodium methylate is added to the solution at about 0.degree. C. and the reaction is effected at the room temperature.
The enone body obtained this way can be reduced to obtain the intended compound.
One example in which J is indanonyl, B is --(CH2)r-- and T is carbon, Q is nitrogen and q is 2 goes: ##STR55##
Process J
The compound having indanol is produced by the following procedure. This procedure applies to the compound having indanol having a substituent(s) on the phenyl group. ##STR56## The reduction is effected with sodium boron hydride at 0.degree. C. to the room temperature in a solvent such as methanol.
Process K
The compound having indenyl is produced by the following procedure. This procedure applies to the compound having indenyl having a substituent(s) on the phenyl. ##STR57## The dehydration is effected conventionally, for example, with hydrochloric acid.
Process L
The compound having indenonyl is produced by the following procedure.

The bromide may be replaced by another halogenated compound.
The indanone compound, as used in the above shown processes I, J, K and L, is available in the commertial market and is produced by the following procedures. ##STR59##
The aldehyde compound used above is produced by the following procedures. ##STR60## The above shown starting compound is converted to its aldehyde and the aldehyde is used for the Wittig reaction to increase the carbon number contained therein. The Wittig reaction is effected repeatedly or combined with another kind of the Wittig reaction. This is obvious to a man skilled in the art. The Wittig agent includes methoxymethylenetriphenylphosphorane to add one carbon atom and formylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane to add two carbon atoms. Methoxymethylenetriphenylphosphorane is obtained by the reaction between methoxymethylenetriphenylphosphonium chloride and n-butyl lithium in ether or tetrahydrofuran. Then a ketone compound or an aldehyde compound is added to the product mixture to obtain its methoxyvinyl compound and the resulting mixture is treated with an acid to obtain a corresponding aldehyde. One example goes: ##STR61##
When formylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane is used, a solution of a starting ketone or aldehyde in ether, tetrahydrofuran or benzene is mixed with this Wittig agent and the mixture is heated for reflux to obtain an intended compound.
The obtained unsaturated aldehyde compound may be converted to its saturated compound by the catalytic reduction using a catalyst of palladium and carbon, Raney nickel or a catalyst of rhodium and carbon. One example goes: ##STR62##

The invention will be described in view of its therapeutical usefulness together with pharmacologically experimental data.
Experimental Example 1
In vitro acetylcholinesterase inhibitory action
A mouse brain homogenate was used as an acetylcholinesterase source and the esterase activity thereof was determined according to the method of Ellman et al.
Ellman, G. L., Courtney, K. D., Andres, V., and Featherstone, R. M., (1961) Biochem. Pharmacol., 7, 88-95.
Acetylthiocholine as a substrate, a sample to detect and DTNB were added to the mouse brain homogenate, followed by incubation. The amount of a yellow substance formed by the reaction between the thiocholine and DTNB was determined in the absorbance at 412 nm in terms of the acetylcholinesterase activity.
The acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of the sample was expressed in terms of inhibitory concentration 50% (IC.sub.50).
The results are shown in Table 1.
Experimental Example 2
Ex vivo acetylcholinesterase inhibitory action
A sample to detect was orally administered to rats. After one hour of the administration, the cerebral hemispheres were dissected and homogenized, followed by the determination of the acetylcholinesterase activity. The group of rats treated with physiological saline was used as the control. Inhibition of AChE by samples ex vivo was expressed in terms of inhibition percent of the control value. Results are shown in Table 2
Experimental Example 3
Action on passive avoidance learning impairment induced by scopolamine
See Z. Bokolanecky & Jarvik: Int. J. Neuropharmacol, 6, 217-222(1967).
Male Wistar rats were used as the test animal and a step-through light and dark box was used as an apparatus. A sample to detect was orally administered one hour before the training and the rats were treated with 0.5 mg/kg (i.p.) of scopolamine 30 min. before the training. In a training experiment, the animal was placed into a light room and, just after the animal had entered into a dark room, a guillotine door was closed, followed by delivery of an electric shock from the gid of the floor. After six hours, the animal was again placed into a light room for a retention experiment, and the time taken for the animal to enter the dark room was measured for evaluation of the effect of the sample.
The difference in the response time between the physiological saline administration group and the scopolamine administration group was taken as 100%, and the effect of the sample was expressed in terms of the percentage antagonism by the sample (Reverse %).
The results are shown in Table 3.
The above-described pharmacological experiments revealed that the compound of the present invention had a potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitory action.
