Description

NOVEL CABERGOLINE DERIVATIVES FIELD

Provided herein are novel cabergoline analogs and compositions thereof. In other embodiments, provided herein are methods of treatment, prevention, or amelioration of a variety of medical disorders such as, for example, migraine and Parkinson's disease using the compounds and compositions disclosed herein. In still other embodiments, provided herein are methods of agonizing dopaminergic D₂ receptors and/or antagonizing or inhibiting activity of receptors such as the 5- HT₂ serotonin receptors using the compounds and compositions disclosed herein. In still other embodiments, provided herein are methods of agonizing receptors such as, for example, the 5-HT_1D and/or the 5-HTi_B receptor, without agonizing (or very weakly agonizing) the 5-HT_2B receptor using the compounds and compositions disclosed herein.

BACKGROUND Cabergoline, depicted below was approved for the treatment of

Parkinson's disease but was subsequently withdrawn from the U.S. market because of undesirable agonization of the 5-HT_2B receptor which leads to cardiac and non-cardiac fibrosis.

Cabergoline

Typically, an ideal anti-Parkinson's agent will be a selective agonist for dopaminergic D₂ receptor. In some cases, it may be preferable to have a compound have a higher affinity (and stronger agonist activity) for the dopaminergic D₂ receptor over the D[ and D₄ receptors. Weak to modest agonist activity on the 5-HT1 B and/or 5-HT1D receptors may also be desirable. Studies have also shown that 5-HT2 receptor antagonism may also be desirable for the treatment of Parkinson's disease symptoms and/or for the reduction of undesirable side-effects, such as cardiac or non-cardiac fibrosis and psychiatric side-effects (Newman-Trancredi, J Pharmacology and Experimental Therapies (2002) 303(2):815-822). Depending on the treatment regimen, anti-Parkinson's agents may have a relatively short half-life {i.e., 1 -5 hours) or a longer half-life {i.e., 20 hours or longer).

Accordingly, what is needed are cabergoline analogs which retain activity against central nervous disorders, such as, for example, Parkinson's disease and lack agonist activity, or very weak agonist activity, against the 5-HT₂ receptors, including 5-HT₂B and the 5-HT₂c receptors.

Compositions and Methods of Administration The compositions provided herein contain therapeutically effective amounts of one or more of the compounds provided herein that are useful in the prevention, treatment, or amelioration of one or more of the symptoms of diseases or disorders described herein and a vehicle. Vehicles suitable for administration of the compounds provided herein include any such carriers known to those skilled in the art to be suitable for the particular mode of administration.

In addition, the compounds may be formulated as the sole active ingredient in the composition or may be combined with other active ingredients. The compositions contain one or more compounds provided herein. The compounds are, in some embodiments, formulated into suitable preparations such as solutions, suspensions, tablets, dispersible tablets, pills, capsules, powders, sustained release formulations or elixirs, for oral administration or in sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral administration, as well as topical administration, transdermal administration and oral inhalation via nebulizers, pressurized metered dose inhalers and dry powder inhalers, In some

embodiments, the compounds described above are formulated into compositions using techniques and procedures well known in the art (see, e.g., Ansel

Introduction to Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, Seventh Edition (1999). In the compositions, effective concentrations of one or more compounds or derivatives thereof is (are) mixed with a suitable veliicle. The compounds may be derivatized as the corresponding salts, esters, enol ethers or esters, acetals, ketals, orthoesters, hemiacetals, hemiketals, acids, bases, solvates, ion-pairs, hydrates or prodrugs prior to formulation, as described above. The

concentrations of the compounds in the compositions are effective for delivery of an amount, upon administration that treats, leads to prevention, or amelioration of one or more of the symptoms of diseases or disorders described herein. In some embodiments, the compositions are formulated for single dosage administration. To formulate a composition, the weight fraction of a compound is dissolved, suspended, dispersed or otherwise mixed in a selected vehicle at an effective concentration such that the treated condition is relieved, prevented, or one or more symptoms are ameliorated.

The active compound is included in the vehicle in an amount sufficient to exert a therapeutically useful effect in the absence of undesirable side effects on the patient treated. The therapeutically effective concentration may be predicted empirically by testing the compounds in in vitro and in vivo systems well known to those of skill in the art and then extrapolated therefrom for dosages for humans. Human doses are then typically fine-tuned in clinical trials and titrated to response. The concentration of active compound in the composition will depend on absorption, inactivation and excretion rates of the active compound, the physicochemical characteristics of the compound, the dosage schedule, and amount administered as well as other factors known to those of skill in the art. For example, the amount that is delivered is sufficient to ameliorate one or more of the symptoms of diseases or disorders as described herein.

In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective dosage should produce a serum concentration of active ingredient of from about 0.001 ng/ml to about 50-200

The compositions, in other embodiments, should provide a dosage of from about 0.0001 mg to about 70 mg of compound per kilogram of body weight per day. Dosage unit forms are prepared to provide from about 0.01 mg, 0.1 mg or 1 mg to about 500 mg, 1000 mg or 5000 mg, and in some embodiments from about 10 mg to about 500 mg of the active ingredient or a combination of essential ingredients per dosage unit form.

The active ingredient may be administered at once, or may be divided into a number of smaller doses to be administered at intervals of time. It is understood that the precise dosage and duration of treatment is a function of the disease being treated and may be determined empirically using known testing protocols or by extrapolation from in vivo or in vitro test data or subsequent clinical testing. It is to be noted that concentrations and dosage values may also vary with the severity of the condition to be alleviated. It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage regimens should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the compositions and that the concentration ranges set forth herein are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope or practice of the claimed compositions.

In instances in which the compounds exhibit insufficient solubility, methods for solubilizing compounds may be used such as use of liposomes, prodrugs, complexation/chelation, nanoparticles, or emulsions or tertiary templating. Such methods are known to those of skill in this art, and include, but are not limited to, using co-solvents, such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), using surfactants or surface modifiers, such as TWEEN^®, complexing agents such as cyclodextrin or dissolution by enhanced ionization (i.e. dissolving in aqueous sodium bicarbonate). Derivatives of the compounds, such as prodrugs of the compounds may also be used in formulating effective compositions. Upon mixing or addition of the compound(s), the resulting mixture may be a solution, suspension, emulsion or the like. The form of the resulting mixture depends upon a number of factors, including the intended mode of administration and the solubility of the compound in the selected vehicle. The effective concentration is sufficient for ameliorating the symptoms of the disease, disorder or condition treated and may be empirically determined.

The compositions are provided for administration to humans and animals in indication appropriate dosage forms, such as dry powder inhalers (DPIs), pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs), nebulizers, tablets, capsules, pills, sublingual tapes/bioerodible strips, tablets or capsules, powders, granules, lozenges, lotions, salves, suppositories, fast melts, transdermal patches or other transdermal application devices/preparations, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, and oral solutions or suspensions, and oil-water emulsions containing suitable quantities of the compounds or derivatives thereof. The therapeutically active compounds and derivatives thereof are, in some embodiments, formulated and administered in unit-dosage forms or

multiple-dosage forms. Unit-dose forms as used herein refer to physically discrete units suitable for human and animal subjects and packaged individually as is known in the art. Each unit-dose contains a predetermined quantity of the therapeutically active compound sufficient to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with the required vehicle. Examples of unit-dose forms include ampoules and syringes and individually packaged tablets or capsules. Unit-dose forms may be administered in fractions or multiples thereof. A multiple-dose form is a plurality of identical unit-dosage forms packaged in a single container to be administered in segregated unit-dose form. Examples of multiple-dose forms include vials, bottles of tablets or capsules or bottles of pints or gallons. Hence, multiple dose form is a multiple of unit-doses which are not segregated in packaging.

Liquid compositions can, for example, be prepared by dissolving, dispersing, or otherwise mixing an active compound as defined above and optional adjuvants in a vehicle, such as, for example, water, saline, aqueous dextrose, glycerol, glycols, ethanol, and the like, to thereby form a solution or suspension, colloidal dispersion, emulsion or liposomal formulation. If desired, the composition to be administered may also contain minor amounts of nontoxic auxiliary substances such as wetting agents, emulsifying agents, solubilizing agents, pH buffering agents and the like, for example, acetate, sodium citrate, cyclodextrin derivatives, sorbitan inonolaurate, triethanolamine sodium acetate, triethanolamine oleate, and other such agents.

Actual methods of preparing such dosage forms are known, or will be apparent, to those skilled in this art; for example, see Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 15th Edition, 1975 or later editions thereof.

Dosage forms or compositions containing active ingredient in the range of 0.005% to 100% with the balance made up from vehicle or carrier may be prepared. Methods for preparation of these compositions are known to those skilled in the art. The contemplated compositions may contain 0.001%-100% active ingredient, in one embodiment 0.1-95%, in another embodiment 0.4-10%. In certain embodiments, the compositions are lactose-free compositions containing excipients that are well known in the art and are listed, for example, in the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) 25-NF20 (2002). In general, lactose-free compositions contain active ingredients, a binder/filler, and a lubricant in compatible amounts. Particular lactose-free dosage forms contain active ingredients, microcrystalline cellulose, pre-gelatinized starch, and magnesium stearate.

Further provided are anhydrous compositions and dosage forms comprising active ingredients, since water can facilitate the degradation of some compounds. For example, the addition of water (e.g., 5%) is widely accepted as a means of simulating long-term storage in order to determine characteristics such as shelf-life or the stability of formulations over time. See, e.g., Jens T,

Carstensen, Drug Stability: Principles ά Practice, 2d. Ed., Marcel Dekker, NY, NY, 1995, pp. 379-80. In effect, water and heat accelerate the decomposition of some compounds. Thus, the effect of water on a formulation can be of great significance since moisture and/or humidity are commonly encountered during manufacture, handling, packaging, storage, shipment, and use of formulations.

Anhydrous compositions and dosage forms provided herein can be prepared using anhydrous or low moisture containing ingredients and low moisture or low humidity conditions.

An anhydrous composition should be prepared and stored such that its anhydrous nature is maintained. Accordingly, anhydrous compositions are generally packaged using materials known to prevent exposure to water such that they can be included in suitable formulary kits. Examples of suitable packaging include, but are not limited to, hermetically sealed foils, plastics, unit dose containers (e.g., vials), blister packs, and strip packs.

Oral dosage forms are either solid, gel or liquid. The solid dosage forms are tablets, capsules, granules, and bulk powders. Types of oral tablets include compressed, chewable lozenges and tablets which may be enteric-coated, sugar-coated or film-coated. Capsules may be hard or soft gelatin capsules, while granules and powders may be provided in non-effervescent or effervescent form with the combination of other ingredients known to those skilled in the art.

In certain embodiments, the formulations are solid dosage forms such as for example, capsules or tablets. The tablets, pills, capsules, troches and the like can contain one or more of the following ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder; a lubricant; a diluent; a glidant; a disintegrating agent; a coloring agent; a sweetening agent; a flavoring agent; a wetting agent; an enteric coating; a film coating agent and modified release agent.

carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol 4000 and cellulose acetate phthalate. Modified release agents include polymers such as the Eudragit series and cellulose esters.

The compound, or derivative thereof, can be provided in a composition that protects it from the acidic environment of the stomach. For example, the composition can be formulated in an enteric coating that maintains its integrity in the stomach and releases the active compound in the intestine. The composition may also be formulated in combination with an antacid or other such ingredient.

When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it can contain, in addition to material of the above type, a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil. In addition, dosage unit forms can contain various other materials which modify the physical form of the dosage unit, for example, coatings of sugar and other enteric agents. The compounds can also be administered as a component of an elixir, suspension, syrup, wafer, sprinkle, chewing gum or the like. A syrup may contain, in addition to the active compounds, sucrose as a sweetening agent and certain preservatives, dyes and colorings and flavors.

The active materials can also be mixed with other active materials which do not impair the desired action, or with materials that supplement the desired action, such as antacids, H₂ blockers, and diuretics. The active ingredient is a compound or derivative thereof as described herein. Higher concentrations, up to about 98% by weight of the active ingredient may be included.

In all embodiments, tablets and capsules formulations may be coated as known by those of skill in the art in order to modify or sustain dissolution of the active ingredient. Thus, for example, they may be coated with a conventional enterically digestible coating, such as phenylsalicylate, waxes and cellulose acetate phthalate.

For a solid dosage form, the solution or suspension, in for example, propylene carbonate, vegetable oils or triglycerides, is in some embodiments encapsulated in a gelatin capsule. Such solutions, and the preparation and encapsulation thereof, are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,328,245; 4,409,239; and 4,410,545. For a liquid dosage form, the solution, e.g., for example, in a polyethylene glycol, may be diluted with a sufficient quantity of a liquid vehicle, e.g., water, to be easily measured for administration.

Alternatively, liquid or semi-solid oral formulations may be prepared by dissolving or dispersing the active compound or salt in vegetable oils, glycols, triglycerides, propylene glycol esters (e.g., propylene carbonate) and other such carriers, and encapsulating these solutions or suspensions in hard or soft gelatin capsule shells. Other useful formulations include those set forth in U.S. Patent Nos. RE28,819 and 4,358,603. Briefly, such formulations include, but are not limited to, those containing a compound provided herein, a dialkylated mono- or polyalkylene glycol, including, but not limited to, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, diglyme, triglyme, tetraglyme, polyethylene glycol-350-dimethyl ether, polyethylene glycol-550-dimethyj ether, polyethylene glycol-750-dimethyl ether wherein 350, 550 and 750 refer to the approximate average molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol, and one or more antioxidants, such as butylated

hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), propyl gallate, vitamin E, hydroquinone, hydroxycoumarins, ethanolamine, lecithin, cephalin, ascorbic acid, malic acid, sorbitol, phosphoric acid, thiodipropionic acid and its esters, and dithiocarbamates.

Acetals include, but are not limited to, di(lower alkyl) acetals of lower alkyl aldehydes such as acetaldehyde diethyl acetal. Parenteral administration, in some embodiments characterized by injection, either subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously is also contemplated herein. Injectables can be prepared in conventional forms, either as liquid solutions or suspensions, solid forms suitable for solution or suspension in liquid prior to injection, or as emulsions. The injectables, solutions and emulsions also contain one or more excipients. Suitable excipients are, for example, water, saline, dextrose, glycerol or ethanol. In addition, if desired, the compositions to be administered may also contain minor amounts of non-toxic auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents, stabilizers, solubility enhancers, and other such agents, such as for example, sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamme oleate and cyclodextrins. Implantation of a slow-release or sustained-release system, such that a constant level of dosage is maintained (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 3,710,795) is also contemplated herein. Briefly, a compound provided herein is dispersed in a solid inner matrix, e.g., polymethylmethacrylate, polybutylmethacrylate, plasticized or unplasticized polyvinylchloride, plasticized nylon, plasticized polyethyieneterephthalate, natural rubber, polyisoprene, polyisobutylene, polybutadiene, polyethylene, ethylene-vinylacetate copolymers, silicone rubbers, polydimethylsi!oxanes, silicone carbonate copolymers, hydrophilic polymers such as hydrogels of esters of acrylic and methaciylic acid, collagen, cross-linked polyvinylalcohol and cross-linked partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate, that is surrounded by an outer polymeric membrane, e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene/propylene copolymers, ethylene/ethyl acrylate copolymers,

ethylene/vinylacetate copolymers, silicone rubbers, polydimethyl siloxanes, neoprene rubber, chlorinated polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, vinylchloride copolymers with vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, ethylene and propylene, ionomer polyethylene terephthalate, butyl rubber epichlorohydrin rubbers, ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer, ethylene/vinyl acetate/vinyl alcohol terpolymer, and ethylene/vinyloxyethanol copolymer, that is insoluble in body fluids. The compound diffuses through the outer polymeric membrane in a release rate controlling step. The percentage of active compound contained in such parenteral compositions is highly dependent on the specific nature thereof, as well as the activity of the compound and the needs of the subject.

Parenteral administration of the compositions includes intravenous, subcutaneous and intramuscular administrations. Preparations for parenteral administration include sterile solutions ready for injection, sterile dry soluble products, such as lyophilized powders, ready to be combined with a solvent just prior to use, including hypodermic tablets, sterile suspensions ready for injection, sterile dry insoluble products ready to be combined with a vehicle just prior to use and sterile emulsions. The solutions may be either aqueous or nonaqueous.

If administered intravenously, suitable carriers include physiological saline or phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and solutions containing thickening and solubilizing agents, such as glucose, polyethylene glycol, and polypropylene glycol and mixtures thereof.

Vehicles used in parenteral preparations include aqueous vehicles, nonaqueous vehicles, antimicrobial agents, isotonic agents, buffers, antioxidants, local anesthetics, suspending and dispersing agents, emulsifying agents, sequestering or chelating agents and other substances.

Examples of aqueous vehicles include Sodium Chloride Injection, Ringers Injection, Isotonic Dextrose Injection, Sterile Water Injection, Dextrose and Lactated Ringers Injection. Nonaqueous parenteral vehicles include fixed oils of vegetable origin, cottonseed oil, corn oil, sesame oil and peanut oil.

Antimicrobial agents in bacteriostatic or fungistatic concentrations must be added to parenteral preparations packaged in multiple-dose containers which include phenols or cresols, mercurials, benzyl alcohol, chlorobutanol, methyl and propyl p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters, thimerosal, benzalkonium chloride and benzethonium chloride. Isotonic agents include sodium chloride and dextrose. Buffers include phosphate and citrate. Antioxidants include sodium bisulfate. Local anesthetics include procaine hydrochloride. Suspending and dispersing agents include sodium carboxymethylcelluose, hydroxypropyl methylcell lose and polyvinylpyrrolidone. Emulsifying agents include Polysorbate 80 (Tween^® 80). A sequestering or chelating agent of metal ions includes EDTA. Carriers also include ethyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol for water miscible vehicles; and sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, citric acid or lactic acid for pH adjustment.

The concentration of compound is adjusted so that an injection provides an effective amount to produce the desired pharmacological effect. The exact dose depends on the age, weight, body surface area and condition of the patient or animal as is known in the art. 2 043687

The unit-dose parenteral preparations are packaged in an ampoule, a vial or a syringe with a needle. All preparations for parenteral administration must be sterile, as is known and practiced in the art.

Illustratively, intravenous or intraarterial infusion of a sterile aqueous solution containing an active compound is an effective mode of administration.

Another embodiment is a sterile aqueous or oily solution or suspension

containing an active material injected as necessary to produce the desired

pharmacological effect.

Injectables are designed for local and systemic administration. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective dosage is formulated to contain a

concentration of at least about 0.01 % w/w up to about 90% w/w or more, in certain embodiments more than 0.1% w/w of the active compound to the treated tissue(s).

The compound may be suspended in micronized or other suitable form or may be derivatized to produce a more soluble active product or to produce a prodrug. The form of the resulting mixture depends upon a number of factors, including the intended mode of administration and the solubility of the compound in the selected carrier or vehicle. The effective concentration is sufficient for ameliorating the symptoms of the condition and may be empirically determined. Active ingredients provided herein can be administered by controlled release means or by delivery devices that are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Examples include, but are not limited to, those described in U.S.

Patent Nos.: 3,845,770; 3,916,899; 3,536,809; 3,598,123; 4,008,719; 5,674,533;

5,059,595; 5,591,767; 5, 120,548; 5,073,543; 5,639,476; 5,354,556; 5,639,480;

5,733,566; 5,739, 108; 5,891,474; 5,922,356; 5,972,891 ; 5,980,945; 5,993,855;

6,045,830; 6,087,324; 6, 113,943; 6, 197,350; 6,248,363; 6,264,970; 6,267,981;

6,376,461 ; 6,419,961; 6,589,548; 6,613,358; 6,699,500 and 6,740,634. Such dosage forms can be used to provide slow or controlled -release of one or more active ingredients using, for example, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, other polymer matrices, gels, permeable membranes, osmotic systems, multilayer coatings, microparticles, liposomes, microspheres, or a combination thereof to provide the desired release profile in varying proportions. Suitable

controlled -re lease formulations known to those of ordinary skill in the art, including those described herein, can be readily selected for use with the active ingredients provided herein. All controlled-release products have a common goal of improving drug therapy over that achieved by their non-controlled counterparts. Ideally, the use of an optimally designed controlled-release preparation in medical treatment is characterized by a minimum of drug substance being employed to cure or control the condition in a minimum amount of time. Advantages of controlled-release formulations include extended activity of the drug, reduced dosage frequency, and increased patient compliance. In addition, controlled-release formulations can be used to affect the time of onset of action or other characteristics, such as blood levels of the drug, and can thus affect the occurrence of side (e.g., adverse) effects. Most controlled-release formulations are designed to initially release an amount of drug (active ingredient) that promptly produces the desired therapeutic effect, and gradually and continually release of other amounts of drug to maintain this level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. In order to maintain this constant level of drug in the body, the drug must be released from the dosage form at a rate that will replace the amount of drug being metabolized and excreted from the body. Controlled-release of an active ingredient can be stimulated by various conditions including, but not limited to, H, temperature, enzymes, water, or other physiological conditions or compounds. In certain embodiments, the agent may be administered using intravenous infusion, an implantable osmotic pump, a transdermal patch, liposomes, or other modes of administration. In some embodiments, a pump may be used (see,

Sefton, CRC Crit. Ref. Biomed. Eng. 14:201 (1987); Buchwald et a!._> Stirgery 88:507 (1980); Saudek ei l., N. Engl. J. Med. 321 :574 (1989)). In other embodiments, polymeric materials can be used. In other embodiments, a controlled release system can be placed in proximity of the therapeutic target, i.e., thus requiring only a fraction of the systemic dose (see, e.g., Goodson, Medical Applications of Controlled Release, vol. 2, pp. 1 15-138 (1984)). In some embodiments, a controlled release device is introduced into a subject in proximity of the site of inappropriate immune activation or a tumor. Other controlled release systems are discussed in the review by Langer (Science 249:1527-1533 (1990)). The active ingredient can be dispersed in a solid inner matrix, e.g., polymethylmethacrylate, polybutylmethacrylate, plasticized or unplasticized polyvinylchloride, plasticized nylon, plasticized polyethyleneterephthalate, natural rubber, polyisoprene, polyisobutylene, polybutadiene, polyethylene, ethylene-vinylacetate copolymers, silicone rubbers, polydimethylsiloxanes, silicone carbonate copolymers, hydrophilic polymers such as hydrogels of esters of acrylic and methacrylic acid, collagen, cross-linked polyvinylalcohol and cross-linked partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate, that is surrounded by an outer polymeric membrane, e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene/propylene copolymers, ethylene/ethyl acrylate copolymers, ethylene/vinylacetate copolymers, silicone rubbers, polydimethyl siloxanes, neoprene rubber, chlorinated polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, vinylchloride copolymers with vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, ethylene and propylene, ionomer polyethylene terephthalate, butyl rubber epichlorohydrin rubbers, ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer, ethylene/vinyl acetate/vinyl alcohol terpolymer, and

ethylene/vinyloxyethanol copolymer, that is insoluble in body fluids. The active ingredient then diffuses through the outer polymeric membrane in a release rate controlling step. The percentage of active ingredient contained in such parenteral compositions is highly dependent on the specific nature thereof, as well as the needs of the subject.

Of interest herein are also lyophilized powders, which can be

reconstituted for administration as solutions, emulsions and other mixtures. They may also be reconstituted and formulated as solids or gels.

The sterile, lyophilized powder is prepared by dissolving a compound provided herein, or a derivative thereof, in a suitable solvent. The solvent may contain an excipient which improves the stability or other pharmacological com onent of the powder or reconstituted solution, prepared from the powder. Excipients that may be used include, but are not limited to, an antioxidant, a buffer and a bulking agent. In some embodiments, the excipient is selected from dextrose, sorbitol, fructose, corn syrup, xylitol, glycerin, glucose, sucrose and other suitable agent. The solvent may contain a buffer, such as citrate, sodium or potassium phosphate or other such buffer known to those of skill in the art at, at about neutral pH. Subsequent sterile filtration of the solution followed by lyophilization under standard conditions known to those of skill in the art provides the desired formulation. In some embodiments, the resulting solution will be apportioned into vials for lyophilization. Each vial will contain a single dosage or multiple dosages of the compound. The lyophilized powder can be stored under appropriate conditions, such as at about 4 °C to room temperature.

Reconstitution of this lyophilized powder with water for injection provides a formulation for use in parenteral administration. For reconstitution, the lyophilized powder is added to sterile water or other suitable car rier. The precise amount depends upon the selected compound. Such amount can be empirically determined.

Topical mixtures are prepared as described for the local and systemic administration. The resulting mixture may be a solution, suspension, emulsions or the like and are formulated as creams, gels, ointments, emulsions, solutions, elixirs, lotions, suspensions, tinctures, pastes, foams, aerosols, irrigations, sprays, suppositories, bandages, dermal patches or any other formulations suitable for topical administration.

The compounds or derivatives thereof may be formulated as aerosols for topical application, such as by inhalation (see, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos. 4,044,126, 4,414,209, and 4,364,923, which describe aerosols for delivery of a steroid useful for treatment of inflammatory diseases, particularly asthma). These formulations for administration to the respiratory tract can be in the form of an aerosol or solution for a nebulizer, or as a microfine powder for insufflation, alone or in combination with an inert carrier such as lactose. In such a case, the particles of the formulation will, in some embodiments, have mass median geometric diameters of less than 5 microns, in other embodiments less than 10 microns. Oral inhalation formulations of the compounds or derivatives suitable for inhalation include metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers and liquid preparations for administration from a nebulizer or metered dose liquid dispensing system. For both metered dose inhalers and dry powder inhalers, a crystalline form of the compounds or derivatives is the preferred physical form of the drug to confer longer product stability.

In addition to particle size reduction methods known to those skilled in the art, crystalline particles of the compounds or derivatives can be generated using supercritical fluid processing which offers significant advantages in the production of such particles for inhalation delivery by producing respirable particles of the desired size in a single step, {e.g., International Publication No. WO2005/025506). A controlled particle size for the microcrystals can be selected to ensure that a significant fraction of the compounds or derivatives is deposited in the lung. In some embodiments, these particles have a mass median aerodynamic diameter of about 0.1 to about 10 microns, in other embodiments, about 1 to about 5 microns and still other embodiments, about 1.2 to about 3microns.

Inert and non-flammable HFA propellants are selected from HFA 134a (1,1, 1,2-tetrafluoroethane) and HFA 227e (1 , 1 , 1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoiOpropane) and provided either alone or as a ratio to match the density of crystal particles of the compounds or derivatives. A ratio is also selected to ensure that the product suspension avoids detrimental sedimentation or cream (which can precipitate irreversible agglomeration) and instead promote a loosely flocculated system, which is easily dispersed when shaken. Loosely fluctuated systems are well regarded to provide optimal stability for pMDI canisters. As a result of the formulation's properties, the formulation contained no ethanol and no

surfactants/stabilizing agents.

The formulation of the compounds or derivatives can be administered to patients using TEMPO^® (MAP Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Mountain View, CA), a novel breath activated metered dose inhaler. TEMPO® overcomes the variability associated with standard pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDI), and achieves consistent delivery of drug to the lung periphery where it can be systeniically absorbed. To do so, TEMPO® incorporates four novel features: 1) breath synchronous trigger - can be adjusted for different drugs and target populations to deliver the drug at a specific part of the inspiratory cycle, 2) plume control - an impinging jet to slow down the aerosol plume within the actuator, 3) vortexing chamber - consisting of porous wall, which provides an air cushion to keep the slowed aerosol plume suspended and air inlets on the back wall which drive the slowed aerosol plume into a vortex pattern, maintaining the aerosol in suspension and allowing the particle size to reduce as the HFA propellant evaporates, and 4) dose counter - will determine the doses remaining and prevent more than the intended maximum dose to be administered from any one canister.

The compounds may be formulated for local or topical application, such as for topical application to the skin and mucous membranes, such as in the eye, in the form of gels, creams, and lotions and for application to the eye or for intracisternal or intraspinal application. Topical administration is contemplated for transdermal delivery and also for administration to the eyes or mucosa, or for inhalation therapies. Nasal solutions of the active compound alone or in combination with other excipients can also be administered.

For nasal administration, the preparation may contain a compound dissolved or suspended in a liquid carrier, in particular, an aqueous carrier, for aerosol application. The carrier may contain solubilizing or suspending agents such as propylene glycol, surfactants, absorption enhancers such as lecithin or cyclodextrin, or preservatives.

Solutions, particularly those intended for ophthalmic use, may be formulated as 0.01 % - 10% isotonic solutions, pH about 5-7.4, with appropriate salts.

Other routes of administration, such as transdermal patches, including iontophoretic and electrophoretic devices, and rectal administration, are also contemplated herein. Transdermal patches, including iotophoretic and electrophoretic devices, are well known to those of skill in the art. For example, such patches are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,267,983, 6,261,595, 6,256,533, 6, 167,301, 6,024,975, 6,010715, 5,985,317, 5,983,134, 5,948,433 and 5,860,957. For example, dosage forms for rectal administration are rectal suppositories, capsules and tablets for systemic effect. Rectal suppositories are used herein mean solid bodies for insertion into the rectum which melt or soften at body temperature releasing one or more pharmacologically or therapeutically active ingredients. Substances utilized in rectal suppositories are bases or vehicles and agents to raise the melting point. Examples of bases include cocoa butter (theobroma oil), glycerin-gelatin, carbowax (polyoxyethylene glycol) and appropriate mixtures of mono-, di- and triglycerides of fatty acids. Combinations of the various bases may be used. Agents to raise the melting point of suppositories include spermaceti and wax. Rectal suppositories may be prepared either by the compressed method or by molding. The weight of a rectal suppository, in one embodiment, is about 2 to 3 gm. Tablets and capsules for rectal administration are manufactured using the same substance and by the same methods as for formulations for oral administration.

The compounds provided herein, or derivatives thereof, may also be formulated to be targeted to a particular tissue, receptor, or other area of the body of the subject to be treated. Many such targeting methods are well known to those of skill in the art. All such targeting methods are contemplated herein for use in the instant compositions. For non-limiting examples of targeting methods, see, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos. 6,316,652, 6,274,552, 6,271,359, 6,253,872,

6, 139,865, 6, 131,570, 6,120,7 1 , 6,071,495, 6,060,082, 6,048,736, 6,039,975,

6,004,534, 5,985,307, 5,972,366, 5,900,252, 5,840,674, 5,759,542 and 5,709,874.

In some embodiments, liposomal suspensions, including tissue-targeted liposomes, such as tumor-targeted liposomes, may also be suitable as carriers. These may be prepared according to methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, liposome formulations may be prepared as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,522,811. Briefly, liposomes such as multilamellar vesicles (MLV's) may be formed by drying down phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl serine (7:3 molar ratio) on the inside of a flask. A solution of a compound provided herein in phosphate buffered saline lacking divalent cations (PBS) is added and the flask shaken until the lipid film is dispersed. The resulting vesicles are washed to remove unencapsulated compound, pelleted by centrifugation, and then resuspended in PBS.

The compounds or derivatives may be packaged as articles of manufacture containing packaging material, a compound or derivative thereof provided herein, which is effective for treatment, prevention or amelioration of one or more symptoms of the diseases or disorders, sapra, within the packaging material, and a label that indicates that the compound or composition or derivative thereof, is used for the treatment, prevention or amelioration of one or more symptoms of the diseases or disorders, supra.

The articles of manufacture provided herein contain packaging materials. Packaging materials for use in packaging products are well known to those of skill in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos. 5,323,907, 5,052,558 and 5,033,252. Examples of packaging materials include, but are not limited to, blister packs, bottles, tubes, inhalers, pumps, bags, vials, containers, syringes, bottles, and any packaging material suitable for a selected formulation and intended mode of administration and treatment. A wide array of formulations of the compounds and compositions provided herein are contemplated as are a variety of treatments for any disease or disorder described herein.

Dosages

In human therapeutics, the physician will determine the dosage regimen that is most appropriate according to a preventive or curative treatment and according to the age, weight, stage of the disease and other factors specific to the subject to be treated. The compositions, in other embodiments, should provide a dosage of from about 0,0001 mg to about 70 mg of compound per kilogram of body weight per day. Dosage unit forms are prepared to provide from about 0.01 mg, 0.1 mg or 1 mg to about 500 mg, 1000 mg or 5000 mg, and in some embodiments from about 10 mg to about 500 mg of the active ingredient or a combination of essential ingredients per dosage unit form. The amount of active ingredient in the formulations provided herein, which will be effective in the prevention or treatment of a disorder or one or more symptoms thereof, will vary with the nature and severity of the disease or condition, and the route by which the active ingredient is administered. The frequency and dosage will also vary according to factors specific for each subject depending on the specific therapy (e.g., therapeutic or prophylactic agents) administered, the severity of the disorder, disease, or condition, the route of administration, as well as age, body, weight, response, and the past medical history of the subject. Exemplary doses of a formulation include milligram or microgram amounts of the active compound per kilogram of subject (e.g., from about 1 micrograms per kilogram to about 50 milligrams per kilogram, from about 10 micrograms per kilogram to about 30 milligrams per kilogram, from about 100 micrograms per kilogram to about 10 milligrams per kilogram, or from about 100 microgram per kilogram to about 5 milligrams per kilogram).

It may be necessary to use dosages of the active ingredient outside the ranges disclosed herein in some cases, as will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. Furthermore, it is noted that the clinician or treating physician will know how and when to interrupt, adjust, or terminate therapy in conjunction with subject response.

Different therapeutically effective amounts may be applicable for different diseases and conditions, as will be readily known by those of ordinary skill in the art. Similarly, amounts sufficient to prevent, manage, treat or ameliorate such disorders, but insufficient to cause, or sufficient to reduce, adverse effects associated with the composition provided herein are also encompassed by the above described dosage amounts and dose frequency schedules. Further, when a subject is administered multiple dosages of a composition provided herein, not all of the dosages need be the same. For example, the dosage administered to the subject may be increased to improve the prophylactic or therapeutic effect of the composition or it may be decreased to reduce one or more side effects that a particular subject is experiencing. In certain embodiments, administration of the same formulation provided herein may be repeated and the administrations may be separated by at least i day, 2 days, 3 days, 5 days, 10 days, 15 days, 30 days, 45 days, 2 months, 75 days, 3 months, or 6 months. Methods of Use of the Compounds and Compositions

Methods of treating, preventing, or ameliorating one or more symptoms of diseases including, for example, central nervous system disorders, migraine, and Parkinson's disease are also provided herein. In practicing the methods, therapeutically effective amounts of the compounds or compositions, described herein, supra, are administered.

Also provided are methods and compositions for decreased 5-HT₂ receptor agonist activity. In some embodiment, the 5-HT₂A and 5-HT_2B activity agonist activity is lower than the 5-HT₂A and 5-HT₂B reported for cabergoline. Also provided are methods for antagonizing receptors including 5-HT_2A and 5-HT₂B receptors using the compounds and compositions, described herein. In practicing the methods, therapeutically effective amounts of the compounds or compositions, described herein, supra, are administered.

In some embodiments, it is desirable to select compounds that are useful for the treatment of one or more symptoms of Parkinson's disease. An ideal compound for such treatment should have selective agonist activities for the dopaminergic D₂ receptor. In some cases, it would be preferable for the compound to have a stronger affinity (and agonist activity) for the D₂ receptor compared to Dj and D₄ receptors. Additionally, in some embodiments, it may be advantageous for a compound to have weak to moderate 5-HTi_B and 5-HTID receptor agonist activities. In other embodiments, it may be advantageous for a compound to have 5-HT₂ receptors antagonism activities. As an illustrative example (and described in detail in the Examples below), the cabergoline- derivative compound, hereinafter referred to as Compound 1,

exhibited weak serotonin 5-HT₂A and 5~HT _B receptor agonist activity (as compared to cabergoline). Additionally, Compound 1 is selective for the dopaminergic receptor D_2L, compared to Di and D₄ receptors. Compound 1 also exhibited weak agonist activity on serotonin receptor 5-HTJD. Compound 1 exhibited properties that are more desirable than cabergoline in that 5~HT₂A agonism is associated with hallucination, which is often a side effect of some anti-Parkinson's agents (see for example, Egan et al, Psychoparmaco g (1998) 136:409-414). Agonist activity of the 5-HT_2B receptor has also been shown to be associated with cardiac and non-cardiac fibrosis. The lower 5-HT₂B agonist activity seen with Compound 1 (compared to cabergoline) may translate into minimal or a reduction in the undesired fibrosis side-effects seen with cabergoline usage. Without being bound to any particular theory, it is hypothesized that the CF₃ modification in Compound 1 (compared to

cabergoline) is responsible for the desirable effects of this molecule.

Depending on the dosing or treatment regimen, in some embodiments, it may be advantageous for the compound to have a relatively short half-life. In some embodiments, the half-life of the compound is less than 5 hours. In other embodiments, the half-life of the compound is between 1 hour and 5 hours, In still other embodiments, the half-life of the compound is less than 8 hours.

Alternatively, it may be advantageous for the compound to have a moderate to long half-life. In some embodiments, the half-life of the compound is greater than 10 hours. In other embodiments, the half-life of the compound is between 12 and 24 hours. Combination Therapy

The compounds and compositions disclosed herein may also be used in combination with one or more other active ingredients. In certain embodiments, the compounds may be administered in combination, or sequentially, with another therapeutic agent. Such other therapeutic agents include, for example, those known for treatment, prevention, or amelioration of one or more symptoms associated with migraine or Parkinson's disease. As an illustrative example, compounds such as Compound 1 may be administered to a patient with

Parkinson's disease as an adjunct therapy in addition to monotherapies, such as L-dihydroxyphenylacelyl acid (L-DOPA). Alternatively, compounds such as Compound 1 may be administered as a monotherapy.

It should be understood that any suitable combination of the compounds and compositions provided herein with one or more of the above therapeutic agents and optionally one or more further pharmacologically active substances are considered to be within the scope of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the compounds and compositions provided lierein are administered prior to or subsequent to the one or more additional active ingredients.

It should also be understood that any suitable combination of the compounds and compositions provided herein may be used with other agents to agonize and or antagonize the receptors mentioned above.

Finally, it should be noted that there are alternative ways of implementing the present invention. Accordingly, the present embodiments are to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive, and the invention is not to be limited to the details given herein, but may be modified within the scope and equivalents of the appended claims.

All publications and patents cited herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

The following examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. EXAMPLES Example 1: Preparation of Compound 1

Compound 1 was synthesized using the following synthesis route:

Cabergoline Compound 1

To a solution of Togni's reagent (63 mg, 0.199 mmol) and copper (1) acetate (2 mg, 0.016 mmol) in anhydrous methanol (3mL) under an argon atmosphere was added cabergoline (75 mg, 0.166 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 40° C for 4.5 hours and then allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The cooled mixture was then diluted with excess dichioromethane and washed with saturated aqueous NaHC⁽¾. The dichioromethane layer was dried over anhydrous Na₂S0₄ and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude product. The crude product was partially purified by flash column chromatography (Si0 , 90: 10 to 85: 15 v/v dichloromethane/methanol). The product was then subjected to further purification by semi-preparative HPLC to afford Compound 1 as a light yellow solid. Ή NMR results for Compound 1 was as follows: Ή NMR (CDC1₃, 400 MHz) δ 9.45 (br s, 1H), 8.23 (s, 1H), 7.28 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.20 (d, J= 8.0 Hz, 1H), 6.95 (d, J= 6.8 Hz, 1H), 5.90-6.00 (m, 1H), 5.26 (dd, /= 17.2, 1.2 Hz, 1H), 5.20 (d, J= 10.0 Hz, 1H), 3.72-3.92 (m, 2H), 3.53-3.60 (m, 2H), 3.27-3.48 (m, 4H), 3.15-3.20 (m, 1H), 2.88-2.97 (m, 1H), 2.68-2.83 (in, 2H), 2.53-2.63 (m, 2H), 2.30-2.42 (m, 2H), 2,24 (s, 6H), 1.82-1.91 (m, 2H), 1.70-1.80 (m, 1H), 1.19 (t, J= 7.2 Hz, 3H); ¹⁹F NMR (CDC1₃, 282 MHz) δ -59.2; APCI MS m/z 520 [M+H]⁺. Example 2: Receptor agonist/antagonist action of Compound 1

Compound 1 was synthesized as described above and assayed for receptor activity against a panel of dopaminergic and serotoninergic receptors.

Recombinant human serotonin receptors 5-HT₂A_> and 5-HT₂B were expressed in CHO-K1 cells and activity (receptor agonist/antagonist activity) was assayed using an Aequorin assay (coexpression of mitochondrial apoaequorin).

Compound 1 was used at a concentration of 0.010 nM to 20,000 nM for agonist activity and 0.005 nM to 10,000 nM for antagonist activity. Results showed that Compound 1 displayed much less activity on 5-HT₂A and 5-HT₂B receptors as compared to cabergoline. On 5-HT₂A receptois, Compound 1 had an EC₅₀ of 946 nM, compared to the reported EC₅o of 7.8 nM of cabergoline. On 5-HT_2B receptors, Compound 1 had an EC₅o of 6049 nM, compared to the reported EC50 of 2.6 nM of cabergoline (Newman-Tancredi, et al, J Pharmacology &

Experimental Therapeutics (2002) 303(2): 815-822). The results from the receptor assays on human serotonin receptors indicate that Compound 1 may have a decreased or minimized occurrence of the undesired cardiac and non- cardiac fibrosis side-effects that are associated with cabergoline.

Recombinant human dopaminergic receptor Di, D_2L, and D₄ and serotonin receptor 5-HTi_B and 5-HTID activity was assayed using a GTPyS functional assay with Compound 1 at concentrations between 0.01 nM and 10,000 nM. Results showed that Compound 1 exhibited strong agonist activities with the D₂L receptor (EC₅o of 12.6 nM). Additionally, Compound 1 exhibited an 18-fold D_2L to D₄ receptor selectivity (when comparing EC₅0). Compared to reported results for cabergoline, Compound 1 has a lower fold selectivity for D₂L than D₄, cabergoline has appro imately a 200-fold selectivity for the D₂L to D₄ receptor selectivity. However, Compound 1 also exhibited a lower E_max (26%) as compared to reported values for cabergoline (E_max of 49%) (Newman-Tancredi et al, J Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics (2002) 303(2): 805-814). Compound 1 was also highly selective for D₂L compared to Dl receptors, with results showing approximately 110-fold selectivity for the D₂L receptor over the Dt receptor. For the serotonin receptors, 5-HT_1B and 5-HTID, Compound 1 was not active on 5-HTIB receptors, whereas data have shown that cabergoline is active and has an EC50 of 2238 11M (see for example, Newman-Taticredi et αί, J Pharmacology' & Experimental Therapeutics (2002) 303(2): 815-822.

Compound 1 was an agonist on 5-HTi_D receptors with an EC₅₀ of 263 nM, which shows less affinity than cabergoline (EC₅0 of 16 nM; Newtnan-Tancredi et ah, J Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics (2002) 303(2): 815-822). In addition, , Compound 1 had a reduced E_max from 68% to 31% compared to cabergoline. Taken together, these data is consistent with the conclusion that Compound 1 would be a desirable anti-Parkinson's disease agent.
