3-Aza-bicyclof3.3.01octane compounds
The present invention relates to novel 3-aza-bicyclo[3.3.0]octane compounds of formula (I) and their use as pharmaceuticals. The invention also concerns related aspects including processes for the preparation of the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more compounds of formula (i), and especially their use as orexin receptor antagonists.
Orexins (orexin A or OX-A and orexin B or OX-B) are novel neuropeptides found in 1998 by two research groups, orexin A Is a 33 amino acid peptide and orexin B is a 28 amino acid peptide (Sakurai T. et al., Cell, 1998, 92, 573-585). Orexins are produced in discrete neurons of the lateral hypothalamus and bind to G-protein-coupled receptors (OXi and OXa receptors). The orexin-1 receptor (OXi) Is selective for OX-A, and the orexin-2 receptor (OX2) is capable to bind OX-A as well as OX-B. Orexins are found to stimulate food consumption in rats suggesting a physiological role for these peptides as mediators in the central feedback mechanism that regulates feeding behaviour (Sakurai T. et al., Cell, 1998, 92, 573-585). On the other hand, it was also observed that orexins regulate states of sleep and wakefulness opening potentially novel therapeutic approaches to narcolepsy as well as insomnia and other sleep disorders (Chemelli R.M. et al., Cell, 1999,98,437-451).
Orexin receptors are found in the mammalian brain and may have numerous implications in pathologies as known from the literature.
The present invention provides 3-aza-bicyclo[3.3.0]octane derivatives, which are non-peptide antagonists of human orexin receptors. These compounds are in particular of potential use in the treatment of e.g. eating disorders, drinking disorders, sleep disorders, or cognitive dysfunctions in psychiatric and neurologic disorders.
Up to now, several low molecular weight compounds are known having a potential to antagonise either specifically OXi or OX2, or both receptors at the same time. Piperidine derivatives useful as orexin receptor antagonists are disclosed in WO01/g6302. Morpholine derivatives useful as orexin receptor antagonists are disclosed in WO02/44172. /V-AroyI cyclic amine derivatives useful as orexin r«:eptor antagonists are disclosed in WO02/90355.

In some instances the generic groups A, D, R\ R2 R2 R*, R2 R2 and R2 JTiight be Incompatible with the assembly illustrated in the schemes below and so vyill require the use of prc^teptlng groups (PG). The use of protecting groups is well knj^wn in the art (see forje^cample "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", T.W. Greene, P.G.M. Wut's.iWiley-Interscience, 1999). For the purposes of this discussion, it will be assumed that such protecting groups as are necessary are in place.,

II. Biological assays
In vitro assay
The orexin receptor antagonistic activity of the compounds of formula (I) is determined in accordance with the following experimental method.
Intracellular calcium measurements:
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the human orexln-1 receptor and the
human orexin-2 receptor, respectively, are grown in culture medium (Ham F-12 with
L-Glutamine) containing 300 |ag/ml G418,100 U/ml penicillin, 100 ng/ml streptomycin
and 10 % heat inactivated fetal calf serum (PCS). The cells are seeded at 20'000
.1 cells / well into 384-well black clear bottom sterile plates (Greiner). The seeded
plates are incubated overnight at Sy'C in 5% CO2.
Human orexin-A as an agonist is prepared as 1 mM stock solution in MeOH: water (1:1), diluted in HBSS containing 0.1 % bovine serum albumin (BSA), NaHCOa: 0.375g/l and 20 mM HEPES for use in the assay at a final concentration of 3 nM.
Antagonists are prepared as 10 mM stock solution in DMSO, then diluted in 384-well plates using DMSO followed by a transfer of the dilutions into In HBSS containing 0.1 % bovine serum albumin (BSA), NaHCOa: 0.375g/l and 20 mM HEPES. On the day of the assay, 50 ^1 of staining buffer (HBSS containing 1% PCS, 20 mM HEPES, NaHCOa: 0.375g/l, 5 mM probenecid (Sigma) and 3 \iM of the fluorescent calcium indicator fluo-4 AM (1 mM stock solution in DMSO, containing 10% pluronic) is added to each well. The 384-well cell-plates are incubated for 50 min at 37" C in 5% COz followed by equilibration at rt for 30 -120 min before measurement.
Within the Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR2 or FLIPR Tetra, Molecular Devices), antagonists are added to the plate in a volume of 10 ^I/well, incubated for 10 min and finally 10 |il/well of agonist is added. Fluorescence is measured for each well at 1 second intervals, and the height of each fluorescence peak is compared to the height of the fluorescence peak induced by 3 nM orexin-A with vehtele in place of antagonist. For each antagonist, the IC50 value (the concentration of compound needed to inhibit 50 % of the agonistic response) is detennlned. With the FLIPR Tetra, non-optimized and optimized conditions were used. Optimized conditions were achieved by adjustment of pipetting speed and cell; splitting regime. The calculated ICso values of the compounds may fluctuate depending on the daily cellular assay performance. Fluctuations of this kind are known to those skilled in the art.
■I
Antagonistic activities (IC50 values) of all exemplified compounds are in the range of
2-1640 nM with respect to the OX1 receptor and in the range of 3-2516 nM with
respect to the OX2 receptor. Antagonistic activities of selected compounds are
displayed in Table 1. '
