Description of Related Technology
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are widely distributed throughout the central (CNS) and peripheral (PNS) nervous systems. Such receptors play an important role in regulating CNS function, particularly by modulating release of a wide range of neuretransmitters, including, but not necessarily limited to acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin and GABA. Consequently, nicotinic receptors mediate a very wide range of physiological effects, and have been targeted for therapeutic treatment of disorders relating to cognitive function, learning and memory, neurodegeneration, pain and inflammation, psychosis and sensory gating, mood and emotion, among others.
Many subtypes of the nAChR exist in the CNS and periphery. Each subtype . has a different effect on regulating the overall physiological function. Typically, nAChRs are ion channels that are constructed from a pentameric assembly of subunit proteins. At least 12 subunit proteins, α2-α10 and ß2-ß4, have been identified in neuronal tissue. These subunits provide for a great variety of homomeric and heteromeric combinations that account for the diverse receptor subtypes. For example, the predominant receptor that is responsible for high affinity binding of nicotine in brain tissue has composition (α4)2(ß2)3 (the α4ß2 subtype), while another major population of receptors is comprised of the homomeric (0.1)5 (the α7 subtype).
Certain compounds, like the plant alkaloid nicotine, interact with all subtypes of the nAChRs, accounting for the profound physiological effects of this compound.
While nicotine has been demonstrated to have many beneficial properties, not all of the effects mediated by nicotine are desirable. For example, nicotine exerts gastrointestinal and cardiovascular side effects that interfere at therapeutic doses, and its addictive nature and acute toxicity are well-known. Ligands that are selective for interaction with only certain subtypes of the nAChR offer potential for achieving beneficial therapeutic effects with an improved margin for safety.
The α7 nAChRs have been shown to play a significant role in enhancing cognitive function, including aspects of learning, memory and attention (Levin, E.D., J. Neurobiol. 53: 633-640, 2002). For example, α7 nAChRs have been linked to conditions and disorders related to attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment, senile dementia, dementia associated with Lewy bodies, dementia associated with Down's syndrome, AIDS dementia, Pick's Disease, as well as cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia, among other systemic activities. The activity at the α7 nAChRs can be modified or regulated by the administration of α7 nAChR ligands. The ligands can exhibit antagonist, agonist, partial agonist, or inverse agonist properties. Thus, α7 ligands have potential in treatment of various cognitive disorders.
Although various classes of compounds demonstrating α7 nAChR-modulating activity exist, it would be beneficial to provide additional compounds demonstrating activity at the α7 nAChRs that can be incorporated into pharmaceutical compositions useful for therapeutic methods. Specifically, it would be beneficial to provide compounds that interact selectively with α7-containing neuronal nAChRs compared to other subtypes.

Compounds of the invention may exist as stereoisomers wherein, asymmetric or chiral centers are present. These stereoisomers are "R" or "S" depending on the configuration of substituents around the chiral element. The terms "R" and "S" used herein are configurations as defined in IUPAC 1974 Recommendations for Section E, Fundamental Stereochemistry, Pure Appl. Chem., 1976,45:13-30. The invention contemplates various stereoisomers and mixtures thereof and are specifically included within the scope of this invention. Stereoisomers include enantiomers and diastereomers, and mixtures of enantiomers or diastereomers. Individual stereoisomers of compounds of the invention may be prepared synthetically from commercially available starting materials which contain asymmetric or chiral centers or by preparation of racemic mixtures followed by resolution well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art. These methods of resolution are exemplified by (1) attachment of a mixture of enantiomers to a chiral auxiliary, separation of the resulting mixture of diastereomers by recrystallization or chromatography and optional liberation of the optically pure product from the auxiliary as described in Furniss, Hannaford, Smith, and Tatchell, "Vogel's Textbook of Practical Organic Chemistry", 5th edition (1989), Longman Scientific & Technical, Essex CM20 2JE, England, or (2) direct separation of the mixture of optical enantiomers on chiral chromatographic columns or (3) fractional recrystallization methods.

DETERMINATION OF BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
To determine the effectiveness of representative compounds of this invention as a? nAChRs, the compounds of the invention were evaluated according to the [3H]-methyllycaconitine (MLA) binding assay and considering the [3H]-cytisine binding assay, which were performed as described below.
[3H1-Cytisine binding
Binding conditions were modified from the procedures described in Pabreza LA, Dhawan, S, Kellar KJ, [3H]-Cytisine Binding to Nicotinic Cholinergic Receptors in Brain, Mol. Pharm. 39: 9-12,1991. Membrane enriched fractions from rat brain minus cerebellum (ABS Inc., Wilmington, DE) were slowly thawed at 4 °C, washed and resuspended in 30 volumes of BSS-Tris buffer (120 mM NaCI/5 mM KCI/2 mM CaCI2/2 mM MgCI2/50 mM Tris-CI, pH 7.4, 4 °C). Samples containing 100-200 pg of protein and 0.75 nM [3H]-cytisine (30 Ci/mmol; Perkin Elmer/NEN Life Science Products, Boston, MA) were incubated in a final volume of 500 µL for 75 minutes at 4
about 50 nanomolar to at least 100 micromolar. The determination of preferred compounds typically considered the KI value as measured by MLA assay in view of the KI value as measured by [3H]-cytisine binding, such that in the formula D = KISH-cytisine /Kj MLA, D is about 50. Preferred compounds typically exhibited greater potency at α7 receptors compared to α4ß2 receptors.
Compounds of the invention are α7 nAChRs ligands that modulate function of α7 nAChRs by altering the activity of the receptor. The compounds can be inverse agonists that inhibit the basal activity of the receptor or antagonists that completely block the action of receptor-activating agonists. The compounds also can be partial agonists that partially block or partially activate the α7 nAChR receptor or agonists that activate the receptor.
Some compounds of the invention also have been evaluated for binding to the hERG ion channel. Blockade of the hERG ion channel has been associated with interference of heart muscle repolarization, which presents a risk for cardiovascular toxicity.
r3H1-Dofetilide binding
Membrane preparations from HERG-transfected HEK cells were obtained as described in Diaz et al (2004). Membrane aliquots were thawed and homogenized again in a glass Dounce homogenizer (approximately 10 passes). Test compounds were diluted (6 concentrations at half-log intervals) from DMSO stock solutions in assay buffer (135 mM NaCI, 5 mM KCI, 0.8 mM MgCI2,10 mM HEPES, 10 mM glucose, 1 mM EGTA, 0.01% BSA, pH 7.4), and tested in duplicate at each concentration. The following were added to each 200 til well of a 96-well polystyrene plate (Packard Optiplate, cat. # 6005290): 20 n-l of assay binding buffer (for total bounds), or 1 µM astemizole (for non-specific bounds), or test compound, 50 yl of [3H]-dofetilide, and 130 µl of membrane homogenate (final protein concentration = 30 tig per well). The plates were incubated at room temperature for 45 m, aspirated onto GF/B filter plates, and washed with 2 ml of cold wash buffer. The radioactivity was counted in a Packard Topcount Scintillation Counter after addition of 50 jjJ of scintillant (Packard Microscint-20, cat. # 6013621). The data were analyzed with a
four-parameter logistic equation (PRISM™, Graphpad or Assay Explorer™, MDL). Kj values were derived by means of the Cheng and Prusoff (1973) equation (K| = ICso/1 + [Iigand]/Kd) using Kd values for [3H]-dofetilide obtained from previously performed saturation assays (Diaz et al., 2004). For drugs that failed to displace more than 50% of labeled dofetilide at the highest concentration tested, KI values were reported as "greater than" that concentration. Each KI represents an average of at least two independent determinations.
Thus, binding affinities to the hERG channel were expressed in KI value, i.e. KI hERG. Compounds of the invention exhibiting selectivity for a? receptor binding (Ki MLA) compared to hERG binding were considered to demonstrate a better cardiovascular risk profile. In particular, higher levels of binding selectivity, as represented by the ratio: KIHERG/KIMLA provide an indication of the therapeutic benefit versus the cardiovascular risk for these compounds.
Accordingly, the evaluation of the effectiveness ofα7 nAChRs relative to binding affinities to the hERG channel is an effective manner for determining compounds demonstrating a beneficial safety and efficacy profile more suitable for pharmaceutical administration. Compounds of the invention, and particularly those of the preferred embodiments, demonstrate a beneficial cardiovascular risk profile. To better characterize such properties, compounds of the invention were assessed relative to variousα7 nAChRs. Such α7 nAChRs compounds were prepared according to the following additional Examples.
