Definitions

  • Novel benzimidazolidinone derivatives have been prepared and identified as having high affinity for muscarinic Mi and M 4 receptors. The treatment of mental disorders associated with increasing the activity of a cholinergic receptor using these novel compounds is anticipated. Moreover, these compounds also have dopamine D 2 antagonist activity, rendering them particularly interesting as anti-psychotic agents.
  • Muscarinic cholinergic receptors mediate the actions of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Muscarinic receptors play a critical role in the central nervous system mediating higher cognitive functions, as well as in the peripheral parasympathetic nervous system where they mediate cardiac, respiratory, digestive, and endocrine and exocrine responses. Five distinct muscarinic receptor subtypes have been identified, M ⁇ -M 5 .
  • the muscarinic Mi receptor subtype is predominantly expressed in the cerebral cortex and is believed to be involved in the control of higher cognitive functions; the M 2 receptor is the predominant subtype found in heart and is involved in the control of heart rate; the M 3 receptor is widely expressed in many peripheral tissues and is believed to be involved in gastrointestinal and urinary tract stimulation as well as sweating and salivation; the M receptor is present in brain and may be involved in locomotion; the M 5 , receptor is present in the brain where its role is at present poorly defined. Mi and M have been particularly associated with the dopaminergic system.
  • Conditions associated with cognitive impairment are accompanied by a reduction of acetylcholine content in the brain. This is believed to be the result of degeneration of cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain, which widely innervate multiple areas of the brain, including the association cortices and hippocampus, that are critically involved in higher processes.
  • acetylcholine levels have focused on increasing levels of choline, the precursor for acetylcholine synthesis, and on blocking acetylcholineesterase (AChE), the enzyme that metabolizes acetylcholine. Attempts to augment central cholinergic function through the administration of choline or phosphatidylcholine have not been successful.
  • AChE inhibitors have shown therapeutic efficacy, but have been found to have frequent cholinergic side effects due to peripheral acetylcholine stimulation, including abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These gastrointestinal side effects have been observed in about a third of the patients treated.
  • AChE inhibitors such as tacrine
  • tacrine have also been found to cause significant hepatotoxicity with elevated liver transaminases observed in about 30% of patients.
  • the adverse effects of AChE inhibitors have severely limited their clinical utility.
  • the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia suggests that increased dopamine neurotransmission underlies the positive symptoms of the disease and is supported by the evidence that dopamine receptor blockade is effective in ameliorating such psychotic symptoms.
  • drugs that enhance dopamine neurotransmission in the brain cause psychotic-like episodes in man and exacerbate psychotic symptoms in schizophrenic patients.
  • drugs that increase dopamine neurotransmission cause behavioural effects such as increased locomotion, climbing and deficits in prepulse inhibition.
  • dopamine receptor antagonists can block these behavioural effects.
  • dopamine receptor antagonists also cause severe extrapyramidal side effects in patients as predicted by induction of catalepsy in animal models. These extrapyramidal side effects include tremor, bradykinesia, akithesias, and tardive dyskinesias.
  • Mi receptor agonist activity Due in part to these observations, the discovery of agents with Mi receptor agonist activity has been sought after for the treatment of dementia. However, existing agents lack specificity in their actions at the various muscarinic receptor subtypes. Known Mi muscarinic agonists such as arecoline have also been found to be weak agonists of M 2 as well as M 3 receptor subtypes and are ineffective in the treatment of cognitive impairment, due in large part to their dose-limiting M 2 and M 3 receptor mediated side effects.
  • muscarinic agonists including xanomeline have been shown to be active in animal models with similar profiles to known antipsychotic drugs, but without causing catalepsy (Bymaster et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol. 1998, 356, 109, Bymaster et al., Life Sci. 1999, 64, 527, Shannon et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 1999, 290, 901, Shannon et al., Schizophrenia Res. 2000, 42, 249). Further, xanomeline was shown to reduce psychotic behavioural symptoms such as delusions, suspiciousness, vocal outbursts, and hallucinations in Alzheimer's disease patients (Bodick et al., Arch. Neurol. 1997, 54, 465), however treatment induced side effects that severely limit the clinical utility of this compound.
  • the present investigators have focussed their efforts on the development of a molecule that simultaneously reduced the positive symptoms and improved the negative symptoms and the cognitive impairments associated with schizophrenia as a novel treatment of mental disorders. It is the intent of the present investigators to demonstrate that muscarinic Mi and/or M agonists with combined D 2 antagonist activity may possess superior antipsychotic efficacy without the side effects associated with high dose D 2 antagonism alone. The D 2 antagonist properties of these molecules may contribute to a reduction in the positive symptoms of this disease.
  • the Mi and or M 4 agonist properties of these compounds may reduce the cognitive dulling and perhaps ameliorate other negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia.
  • This unique combination of central nervous system activities in one molecule is unprecedented and may lead to the development of an entirely new class of antipsychotic drugs, ones with the superior clinical properties without the limiting side-effect profile.

  • mice were treated with 0.3 mg/kg dizocilpine, 3.0 mg/kg d-amphetamine or 3.0 mg/kg scopolamine i.p. 15 min before the session (15 min after 61KS19).

  • the forepaws of each animal is placed on the rod and the time to step down is measured. If the animal steps off immediately, another attempt is made until the animal stays on for more than 10 sec or 10 attempts have been made. A maximum of 2 min is allowed at which time the animal is taken away from the rod and returned to the homecage.
  • Example 3 Synthetic Procedures 3.1 General preparative LC-MS procedure
  • 600 pumps, 2700 sample manager, 996 PDA detector, ZMD massspecfrometer).
  • TFA in water buffer B was 0.15% TFA in acetonitrile/water 95/5.

  • Platinium dioxide 200 mg was added to 4-benzylpiperidine (1.75 g, 10 mmol) in EtOH (20 ml) and HC1 in dioxan (20 ml, 4 M). The flask was evacuated, flooded with hydrogen and this procedure was repeated twice. The reaction was stirred vigorously at r.t. for 72 h then platinium oxide (200 mg) was added and the reaction was stirred at r.t. for 18 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite eluting with EtOAc and the solute concentrated in vacuo. Ether (50 ml) was added and the reaction concentrated in vacuo.
  • Platinium dioxide (0.200 g) was added to 4-phenylpiperidine (1.55 g, 10 mmol) in EtOH (40 ml) and HC1 in dioxan (5 ml, 4 M). The flask was evacuated, flooded with hydrogen and this procedure was repeated twice. The reaction was stirred vigorously at r.t. for 72 h then filtered through Celite eluting with EtOAc and the solute was concentrated in vacuo to give a white solid. Water (30 ml) was added followed by sodium hydroxide (20ml, 2 M) and the product was extracted into EtOAc (3x50 ml).
  • the product was purified by flash CC and/or by prep. RP- HPLC [conditions: stationary phase, Luna 15um C18; column, 250x21.2 mm; mobile phase, 20 ml/min, H 2 0/MeCN, ammoniumacetate buffer (25nM)].
