Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A variety of agents are presently under development as potential treatments for migraine headaches. For example, MDL-72222 (tropine 3,5-dichlorobenzoate) is reported to block the M-receptors for 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), now referred to as 5-HT.sub.3 receptors, thereby providing an antimigraine effect--see Bradley, et al., Neuropharmacology, 25(6), 563 (1986). Other 5-HT.sub.3 antagonists reported in the literature include Beecham compound 112-574, included in EPO patent application Publication No. 158,265, and Merrell-Toraude compound 105-834, (U.S. Pat. No. 4,486,441). All of these compounds are tropine or tropine-like esters or amides of a substituted benzoic acid.
Indole and related bicyclic derivatives are also reported to be anti-migraine agents. See, e.g., GB No. 2,125,398. Other bicyclic derivatives are reported in WO 84/03281 to have dopamine antagonist activity and to be useful for lowering blood pressure and treating emesis.
This invention provides potent specific 5-HT.sub.3 antagonists useful for treating migraine and emesis. The compounds are potent, orally active, and provide a long duration of effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Many of the functionalities and substituents part of R.sub.2 are similarly provided in WO 84/03281 and the definitions of the substituents as presently employed, to the extent consistent in scope with that found in the reference, are considered to be identical as reported therein.
The term "C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 cycloalkyl ring" refers to cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl. The term "C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkoxy" refers to methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, or isopropoxy. The term "C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl" refers to methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, and tert-butyl and includes within its definition the term "C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl". The term "halo" includes fluoro, chloro, and bromo.
The preferred compounds of this invention are those of Formula Ia ##STR4## wherein
m is 1 or 2, R.sub.1 ' is hydrogen, methyl, fluoro, bromo, or especially chloro, R.sub.2 ' is a tropane ring, i.e., an endo (or 3.alpha.) 8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl group, quinuclidine, i.e., 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl, or endo-9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-yl.
The pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of this invention are addition salts with suitable acids, such as those with inorganic acids, for example hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, sulfuric, or phosphoric acids, or with organic acids, such as organic carboxylic acids, for example glycolic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, malic, tartaric, citric, lactic, and the like, or organic sulfonic acids, for example, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, p-toluenesulfonic, or naphthalene-2-sulfonic acids. In addition to the pharmaceutically acceptable salts listed above, other acid addition salts, such as those obtained with picric or oxalic acid, may serve as intermediates useful in the purification of the compounds of this invention or in the preparation of other, for example, pharmaceutically acceptable, acid addition salts. In addition, these salts may also be useful for identification or characterization of the compounds of this invention.
Also contemplated within the scope of the present invention are hydrates of the compounds or their various salts, or other solvates, such as that formed with ethanol or other non-toxic solvents.
It is appreciated that when R.sub.a and R.sub.b are different, or when R.sub.4, R.sub.5 or R.sub.6 are other than hydrogen, various stereoisomers are possible. Similarly, the R.sub.2 ring may be in the .alpha.- or .beta.- position. This invention includes all individual isomers and the various mixtures thereof.
The compounds of the present invention are prepared according to Scheme 1. ##STR5## where X is OH or a carboxylic acid activating group such as chloro, bromo, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 acyloxy (a mixed anhydride), and the like.
The reaction between II, where X is an activating group, and III is well known in the art as demonstrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,486,441, EPO patent application publication No. 158,265, and WO 84/03281, which references are expressly incorporated into this application. Preferably, the carboxylic acid (II, X is OH) is converted to the corresponding acid chloride (II, X is --Cl) upon treatment with an excess of a reagent such as thionyl chloride. When thionyl chloride is employed, it is preferably used both as the reagent and as solvent. The reaction mixture is usually heated at reflux for 1-3 hours to bring the reaction to completion. The resulting acid chloride is then treated with the appropriate amine or alcohol III. Usually, a 1- to 2-fold molar excess of III is employed. In addition, an inert solvent, such as toluene, is preferably used as a more convenient means of allowing the reaction to proceed. When a solvent is used, the mixture is preferably heated at reflux and under an inert atmosphere to drive the reaction to completion. Other variations of this process, including different concentrations, molar proportions, solvents, etc. will be apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, one may employ peptide coupling reagents, such as 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole, with the carboxylic acid of Formula II, followed by introduction of III to the reaction mixture.
The general chemistry for preparing intermedaites II and III is well known in the art. In particular, many of the amines of Formula III are employed in WO 84/03281. These and other necessary intermediates are either commercially available, known in the literature, or can be prepared by methods known in the art.
In addition, the preparation of intermediates II is similar to that taught in WO 84/03281. The preferred method of preparing the 2,2-dimethyl 6.5 bicyclic compounds is provided in Scheme 2 which follows. ##STR6## wherein one of G and Y is O and the other is S, and E" is O or NH.
Accordingly to Scheme II, the phenol or aniline of Formula IV is alkylated with 2-methyl-2-propenyl bromide or chloride to provide intermediate V. This transformation is usually accomplished by heating near equimolar amounts of the two reagents together with an acid scavenger, such as potassium carbonate, and an inert solvent, such as acetone, at temperatures from about ambient temperature up to the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture. The alkylated intermediate V is then subjected to a Claisen rearrangement to provide the phenol or aniline of Formula VI. This rearrangement is accomplished by heating V to temperatures of about 150.degree.-200.degree. C., preferably in a non-reactive solvent such as 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone.
In order to prepare the dihydrobenzothiophenes of this invention, intermediate VI (E"=O) is treated with dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride to provide VII (G=O; Y=S). This transformation involves a standard acylating procedure which commonly uses a strong base, such as sodium hydride, and a non-reactive solvent, such as dimethylformamide. When heated neat at 220.degree.-230.degree. C. for approximately 10 minutes, this thionic acid derivative rearranges to provide the corresponding thiolic intermediate VII (G=S; Y=O) which, upon treatment with base, such as sodium hydroxide, provides the free thiol derivative VIII (E=S). This hydrolysis potentially also hydrolyzes the ester which can be reesterified by conventional means. Alternatively, the acid analogue of VIII (E=S) may be used for the subsequent cyclization.
The conversion of VIII to the bicyclic ester II (X=OCH.sub.3) can be accomplished by heating with 90% formic acid at reflux temperatures for 2-3 hours. As mentioned above, in the special case where E is S, the transformation can be accomplished either on the carboxylic acid or ester upon treatment with an alcohol, such as methanol or ethanol, which is saturated with hydrogen chloride gas. This transformation not only results in ring closure, but also reesterifies the free acid. This latter transformation is most efficient when the reaction mixture is allowed to reflux for 16-20 hours.
Alternatively, the intermediate of Formula VIII can be treated with hydrogen bromide in a nonreactive solvent such as chloroform to prepare the corresponding alkyl bromide intermediate which can be isolated or used in situ to prepare II (X=OH) upon treatment with alcoholic sodium or potassium hydroxide. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 3,860,619.
The esters of Formula II are transformed into the carboxylic acid intermediates (II, X=OH) by standard methods of hydrolysis. Typically, the treatment of the ester with an aqueous solution of an inorganic base, such as potassium or sodium hydroxide, is sufficient to convert the ester to the free acid when allowed to reflux for 2-3 hours. Other methods of effecting this transformation are readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
The related 6.6 bicyclic systems and alkyl variations of R.sub.a and R.sub.b can be prepared by methods analogous to that taught in Scheme 2 above employing the appropriate starting materials, by other means such as are described below, or are provided in the art, such as WO 84/03281.
Other transformations and intraconversions of the compounds of this invention can be accomplished. For example, amino groups may be introduced onto the benzene portion of the bicyclic moiety either as intermediates such as Formulas II and IIa or final products of Formula I. Typically, one or two nitro groups are introduced by direct nitration of the intermediate or final product employing a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids. The transformation of a nitro group into an amine is readily accomplished by hydrogenation, for example, in the presence of a 5% palladium-on-carbon catalyst in a non-reactive solvent such as ethyl acetate. One or two nitro groups may be introduced either at the same time or sequentially, i.e., a second nitro group may be introduced after the first has been transformed into the amine.
Halo groups may also be directly introduced at the intermediate or final product stage. Typically, this can be accomplished by treating the intermediate or final product with a halogenating reagent such as iodobenzene dichloride in pyridine or some like halogenating reagent. In like manner, a halogen group can be removed from an intermediate or final product to form the comparable hydrogen-substituted derivative. This is best accomplished by subjecting the intermediate or final product to hydrogenation conditions.
Other transformations and interconversions will be apparent to one skilled in the art. For example, hydroxy-substituted compounds can be prepared from the corresponding alkoxy, particularly the methoxy, substituted intermediates or final products by dealkylating with an appropriate reagent. A preferred such reagent is the use of molten pyridine hydrochloride which is very effective for effecting this transformation. In like manner, an N,N-dimethylsulfonamido group can be introduced onto the benzene ring of the bicycle by treating the precursor intermediate or final product with chlorosulfonic acid in an inert solvent such as ethylene dichloride at low temperature followed by treatment with dimethylamine. As will be appreciated by the skilled artisan, the particular sequence for effecting such transformations can be determined depending upon the particular substituent and position of the substituent desired.
One additional transformation involves the use of a blocking group on the R.sub.2 portion of the molecule which can be removed and the resulting secondary amino group realkylated to provide a compound of the present invention. For example, those R.sbsb.2a, R.sbsb.2b, and R.sbsb.2c analogues wherein R.sub.3 is benzyl can be introduced into the final product to provide the corresponding N-benzyl cognate. The N-benzyl group may be removed by standard means, such as by subjecting the intermediate to hydrogenation conditions. The resulting secondary amine can then be alkylated with the appropriate C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl halide in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or isopropyl alcohol, optionally in the presence of an acid scavenger such as sodium carbonate. Other such blocking groups and means for deblocking will be apparent to those skilled in this art.
The thio derivatives and intermediates of this invention (t is 0) may be transformed into the corresponding sulfoxide (t is 1) compounds upon treatment with a mild oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide in methanol, meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) in methylene chloride at 0.degree. C., or an alkali metal periodate in aqueous alcohol. The corresponding sulfones (t is 2) are prepared from the thio or sulfoxide compounds on treatment with a strong oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid or m-chloroperbenzoic acid in methylene chloride at 20.degree.-30.degree. C.
Intermediates IV, and other reagents necessary for preparing the intermediates and compounds of this invention, are commercially available, are known in the literature, or can be prepared by known methods. In addition, those skilled in the art will recognize that variations on the methods for preparing the claimed intermediates and compounds as described above may be performed without detracting from the synthesis of these compounds. For example, other esters may be employed, as may protecting groups, precursors, the direct introduction of the carboxylic acid group onto the phenyl ring of the bicycle (Kolbe-Schmitt reaction) etc. Moreover, certain R.sub.1 substituents may be introduced directly onto the phenyl ring. For example, a chloro group can be introduced by treating with iodobenzene, chlorine, and pyridine (See Murakami et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull. 19, 1696 (1971)) or N-chlorosuccinimide in dimethylformamide (U.S. Pat. No. 4,623,657).
The spirocycloalkyl compounds of this invention can be prepared in a number of ways, such as that provided in Scheme 3: ##STR7## where w is 1-4. This procedure is generally described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,329,459 which is incorporated herein by reference. The reaction is a double Grignard synthesis and introduces the spiro ring onto the bicyclic nucleus. The intermediate XI can then be carboxylated as described earlier.
In the special case of W=1 (the spirocyclopropyl compounds), the ketone of formula IX can be transformed into the corresponding exomethylene compound by any of a variety of procedures, such as the titanium-aluminum complex method of Pine, et al., J.A.C.S., 102(9), 3270 (1980). This exomethylene derivative can then be converted into the spirocyclopropyl compound by treatment with diiodomethane and zinc-copper by the procedure of Simmons and Smith, J.A.C.S., 81, 4256 (1959). See also Organic Reactions, 20, Chapter 1, page 109.
The tricyclic compounds of formula XI can also be preparted according to U.S. Pat. No. 4,623,657, or obvious variations thereof. An illustrative example employing the chemistry of this reference is provided in Scheme 4. ##STR8##

2,2-Dimethylchroman-8-carboxylic acid
A. Preparation of 2-(3-methyl-3-hydroxybutyl)phenol.
To a solution of 200 ml of 3M methyl magnesium chloride in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 150 ml of THF was added a solution 44.4 g of dihydrocoumarin in THF over a 40 minute period. An additional 150 ml of THF were added and, after cooling the resulting exotherm, the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solution was cooled and treated with 50 ml of a saturated ammonium chloride solution and 100 ml of water. After stirring one hour, the mixture was added to ice water and extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to provide 57.5 g of the desired subtitle intermediate, m.p. 113.degree.-115.degree. C.
B. Preparation of 2,2-dimethylchroman.
The 57.5 g of phenol from Example 15A above were dissolved in 320 ml of acetic acid and 120 ml of 20% sulfuric acid and heated to reflux for 45 minutes. The solution was cooled, added to ice, and extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with 200 ml of 10% sodium hydroxide and water, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. Vacuum distillation at 83.degree.-85.degree. C. and approximately 5 torr provided 36.3 g of the desired subtitle intermediate.
C. Preparation of 2,2-dimethylchroman-8-carboxylic acid.
To a solution of 1.6M n-butyllithium in hexane and 150 ml of diethyl ether were added a solution of 27 g of 2,2-dimethylchroman in diethyl ether over a one hour period at room temperature. The solution was then heated at reflux 160 minutes, cooled, and poured into dry ice/diethyl ether. The mixture was allowed to come to room temperature, poured into ice water, and layers separated. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to provide 21 g of solid. The aqueous layer was acidified and the resulting precipitate extracted into diethyl ether/ethyl acetate. The organic extract was washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to provide 9 g of solid. The two isolated solids were combined and chromatographed over silica gel eluting with 10% ethyl acetate in toluene. The appropriate fractions were combined and concentrated in vacuo to provide 9.8 g of the desired title intermediate, m.p. 90.degree.-92.degree. C.

The compounds of Formula I of this invention are long-acting, orally effective specific 5-HT.sub.3 receptor antagonists, rendering them useful for the treatment of migraine. Because of this mechanism, the compounds of this invention should also be useful for treating emesis, motion sickness, ischemic bowel disease, diabetic gastric paresis, relaxation of the gastrointestinal tract for instrumentation, other gastrointestinal pain following surgery, obstetrics or as in abdominal cramps, and for treating CNS disorders such as schizophrenia and anxiety. The ability of these compounds to antagonize the effects of 5-HT was assessed by their inhibition of the Von Bezold-Jarisch reflex induced by 5-HT injected intravenously into the rat (See Paintal, Physiol. Rev. 53, 159 (1973)). When administered by the intravenous route 15 minutes prior to the administration of 5-HT, the compounds of this invention were effective in inhibiting the serotonin-induced Bezold-Jarisch reflex as summarized in Table 1 below:
These compounds may also be used as antiemetic agents. This use is exemplified by the compound of Example 19 which effectively blocked cisplatin-induced emesis in dogs with an i.v. ED.sub.50 of 35.6 mcg/kg. Since 5HT.sub.3 receptors are prevalent in the GI tract, other potential uses include other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, such as ischemic bowel, esophageal reflux, etc.
The compounds of Formula I of this invention may be administered by various routes including the oral, rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, or intranasal routes. The compounds are usually employed in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. Such compositions are prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art and comprise at least one active compound. Accordingly, the invention includes a pharmaceutical composition comprising as active ingredient a compound of Formula I in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or excipient.
In making the compositions of the present invention, the active ingredient will usually be mixed with a carrier, or diluted by a carrier, or enclosed within a carrier which may be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper or other container. When the carrier serves as a diluent, it may be a solid, semi-solid or liquid material which acts as a vehicle, excipient or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the composition can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing for example up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions and sterile packaged powders.
Some examples of suitable carriers, excipients, and diluents include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, methyl cellulose, methyl- and propyl-hydroxybenzoates, talc, magnesium stearate and mineral oil. The formulations can additionally include lubricating agents, wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, preserving agents, sweetening agents or flavoring agents. The compositions of the invention may, as is well known in the art, be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient.
The compositions usually contain active ingredient from about 1% to about 95% by weight and are preferably formulated in a unit dosage form, each dosage containing from about 0.5 to about 500 mg, more usually 1 to about 300 mg, of the active ingredient. The term "unit dosage form" refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired thereapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier.
The active compounds are effective over a wide dosage range and typical dosages per day will normally fall within the range of about 0.020 to about 50 mg/kg of body weight. In the treatment of adult humans, a range of from about 0.020 to about 10 mg/kg, in single or divided doses, is preferred. However, it will be understood that the amount of the compound actually administered will be determined by a physician in the light of the relevant circumstances including the condition to be treated, the choice of compound to be administered, the chosen route of administration, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, and the severity of the patient's symptoms, and therefore the above dosage ranges are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
The following formulation examples may employ as active ingredients any of the pharmaceutical compounds of the invention. The examples are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
