FIELD OF THE INVENTION 1. The present invention relates to novel 5-hydroxy-5-aryl-pyrrol-2-ones, their preparation and their use as non-peptide CCK ligands, particularly in pharmaceutical formulations thereof. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 2. Cholecystokinins (CCKs) act as anti-opioid peptides. CCK was initially described as a regulatory hormone found in endocrine cells of the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract Some CCKs share a common amino acid sequence with gastrin, which is involved in control of gastric acid and pepsin secretion. CCKs have also been found throughout the central nervous system (CNS), where they act as neurotransmitter and/or modulator of many important functions. There are various known structures of CCK, identified with reference to the number of amino acids they comprise. For example, CCK-8 a naturally-occurring predominant CCK peptide having only eight amino acids, is the minimum fully-active sequence. Albeit, small amounts of CCK-4 have also been reported. 3. CCKs have multiple function in the physiology and pathology of vertebrate. Pharmaceuticals and biotechs have taken advantage of the pathological properties of the CCKs to develop molecules that block these properties to deliver health and wellness. For instance, CCK plays an important role in the invasiveness and the production of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in human pancreatic cancer cell lines. The pathway of the invasiveness may be associated with MMP-9 of those lines regulated by CCK. 04. The gut hormone CCK exerts various actions on the gastrointestinal tract, including the regulation of growth. The hormone has been reported to induce hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the pancreas and to enhance chemically-induced pancreatic carcinogenesis in animals. Stimulation of endogenous CCK secretion through the induction of deficiency of intraintestinal proteases and bile salts by trypsin- inhibiting nutrients, bile salt-binding drugs or surgical intervention is also capable of stimulating growth and tumour development in the rat In humans, factors suggested to increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, such as a high-fat- and high- protein- thet or gastrectomy, are known to stimulate plasma CCK secretion. Receptors for CCK have been demonstrated in human pancreatic adenocarcinomas, and CCK has been demonstrated to enhance the pancreatic xenograft growth and growth of gastric and bile duct cancer. 5. The actions of CCK are mediated by two G protein coupled receptor (GPCRs). They are termed as type-A and type-B, reflecting their preferential localisation in the alimentary tract and in the brain, respectively. Recently, these receptors have been re-named as CCK1 and CCK2, respectively, although the original designation is also used hereinbelow with respect to the present invention. The molecular cloning of two CCK receptor subtypes, one from rat and human pancreas and one from human brain, has confirmed the pharmacological classification of the CCK receptors. The differential distribution of CCK1 and CCK2 receptors in the peripheral vs. central nervous system is not absolute, as CCK1 receptors have also been shown to be expressed in discrete regions of the CNS, including the spinal cord, particularly in primates. 6. The functions of the CCK1 receptor in the brain are poorly understood, whereas the CCK2 receptor is known to mediate anxiety, panic attacks, satiety and pain. Therefore, antagonists to CCK receptors and to gastrin have been useful to prevent and treat CCK-related and/or gastrin-related disorders. Just as there are some overlap in the biological activities of CCK and gastrin, antagonists also tend to have affinity for both receptors. 7. Selective CCK receptor antagonists are themselves useful in treating CCK-related disorders of the appetite regulatory systems as well as in potentiating and prolonging opiate-mediated analgesia, thus having utility in the treatment of pain, while selective gastrin antagonists are useful in the modulation of CNS behaviour, as a palliative for gastrointestinal neoplasms, and in the treatment and prevention of gastrin-related disorders of the GI system in humans and animals, such as peptic ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, antral G cell hyperplasia and other conditions in which reduced gastrin activity is of therapeutic value. Also, since CCK and gastrin also have trophic effects on certain tumours, antagonists of CCK and gastrin are useful in treating these tumours. 8. Various chemical classes of CCK-receptor antagonists have been reported. These include pyrazolidinones showing good selectivity for CCKb receptors (Howbert, JJ.et al.; Bioorg. Med Chem. Lett. 1993,3,875-880.), ureidoacetamides which are potent and selective ligands for CCKE/gastrin receptors (WO 91/113874), ureidophenoxyacetanilides (Takeda, Y.et al.; Chem. Pharm Bull. 1998,46 , 951- 961), ureidomethylcarbamoylphenylketones (Hagishita, S.; et al., Bioorg. MedChem. 1997,5,1695-1714), and ureidobenzodiazepine derivatives (Evans, B.E.; et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. ScL USA 1986,83,4918-4922). Description of drawings The CCK B antagonist (Example 8) did not show a significant tramadol potentiation. The phenylethyl-derivative (Example 5) had a 4-fold potentiation of the analgesic effect of tramadol. A similar, but smaller activity was observed for the cyclopentyl-derivative (Example 7). The isobutylderivative, at a0.1mg/kg dose, showed a significant anxiolytic effect, which is at a 0.5 mg/kg dose similar to the standard anxiolytic diazepam at a lmg/kg dose. The isobutylderivative Exp 8, showed good antidepressant properties compared to the standard antidepressant at a 1 Omg/kg dose. The 0.5mg dose of the tetramic acid has a greater magnitide than the standard Desimipramine in the forced swimming test SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION The objective of the present invention is to provide novel 5-hydroxy-5-aryl-pyrrol- 2-ones derivatives, which preferably act as CCK ligands, and pharmaceutical formulations thereof.

Biological Evaluation - [125],I-CCK-8 receptor binding essay: 82. CCKA and CCKB receptor binding assays were performed using guinea pig cerebral cortex (CCKB) and rat pancreas (CCKA). Male guinea pig brain tissues were prepared according to the modified method described by Saita et al, [(1994), Eur. J. Pharmacol,269,249-254]. Pancreatic membranes were prepared in a similar way described by Carpenter et al, [(1988), Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 85,1968-1972]. Briefly, tissues were homogenized in ice cold sucrose (0.32 M, 25 ml) for 15 strokes at 500 rpm and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 10 mins. The supernatant was re-centrifuges at 13000 rpm for 20 mins. The resulting pellet was re-dispersed to the required volume of buffer at 500 rpm and stored in aliquots at -70°C. 83. Binding was achieved using a radioligand 125I-Bolton-Hunter labeled CCK, NEN at 25 pM. The samples were incubated {with membranes (0.1 mg/ml)} in 20 mM Hepes, ImM EGTA, 5 mM MgCl2,150 mm NaCl, 0.25 mg/ml bacitracin at pH 6.5 for 2 hrs at RT and then suspended by centrifugation at 1100 rpm for 5 minutes. The membrane pellets were washed twice with water and the bound radioactivity was measured in a Packard Cobra Auto-gamma counter (B5005). All binding assays were carried out with L-363,260 as an internal non-specific standard. Controls (no compound) were also added. All samples were made in duplicate and repeated twice. All compounds were initially screened for percentage inhibition at 10 }im. Samples showing an average inhibition of >35% were diluted to 1pm and re- screened and if active diluted again. This enabled the calculation of ICso's of the series of pyrolones and the examples containing a 5-phenyl group are outlined below. Figure 1. Active examples. 84. A selection of 11 highly diverse amines were chosen to undergo nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl group of 5-arylated-furan-2-one ring of the furanone building block, leading to ring opening and recyclisation into pyrrol-2-ones. These included aryl amines, one of which has a chiral centre and amines with simple alkyl- and cyclic alkyl side chains. The 5- arylated-5-hydroxy-pyrrol-2-ones being formed here, all contain a chiral centre and therefore will exist as enantiomers. In order to control the stereochemistry a chiral amine, (5)-(-)-phenylethylamine was to be used. Diasteromers were formed, which could be isolated and biologically tested. Isobutylamine and its homologue isopropylamine were also used as the aforementioned amine again has shown good activity in relation to pain, depression and anxiolytic assays. 85. In summary 3,4-Dichloro-5-phenyl-5H-furan-2-ones were dissolved in ether and cooled on ice. The appropriate amine was added to the cold solution and stirred for 30 minutes, allowing the reaction mixture to slowly warm up to room temperature. After work up, the desired compound was extracted using column chromatography (80% ether, 20% petrol ether) and analysed using NMR, IR and MS. 86. All outlined compounds are chemically stable, white, crystalline molecules and they are formed in good yields. 87. The crystalline isopropyl derivative, which contains a chiral centre (5-position), was analysed by X-ray crystallography. X-ray data can be found in the experimental section. 88. This compound along side the other compounds synthesised here were fully characterised using 'H and 13C NMR, MS and IR spectroscopy. Pharmacology 89. Following the synthesis and characterisation of these novel molecules, the evaluation in a receptor binding assay followed and the results are outlined in the table below (Table 2). Table 2 : Binding affinity 90. The phenyl-ethyl derivative, example 5, is a potent and mixed CCK antagonist The binding is enhanced by replacing the phenyl group with p-chorophenyl and this observation was determined to be a general trend with respect to the analysis of struture -activity-relationships. 91. Long lipophilic N- substituents resulted in a loss of binding affinity. The Isopropyl derivative 8 showed a good affinity towards the CCK B receptor. 92. A cycloalkyl substituent on the N showed micromolar affinity, but the affinity was not enhanced further by the introduction of a chlorine atom into the 5 aryl group. 93. Interestingly, the addition of a methyl group to the benzyl derivative furnished chiral compounds (Example 10a and 10b), which could easily be separated by column chromatography.
