Description:
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application is a National Stage of International Application No. PCT/JP2013/066322, filed on Jun. 13, 2013, which claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2012-135277, filed on Jun. 15, 2012, the contents of all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. 
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to a compound having an orexin (OX) receptor antagonistic activity and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a therapeutic or preventive drug for disease such as sleep disorder, depression, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, schizophrenia, drug dependence, Alzheimer&#39;s disease, Parkinson&#39;s disease, Huntington&#39;s disease, eating disorder, headache, migraine, pain, gastrointestinal disease, epilepsy, inflammation, immunological disease, endocrine diseases or hypertension, containing such a compound or salt as an active ingredient. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     Orexin is a neuropeptide spliced from prepro-orexin, which is expressed specifically in the lateral hypothalamic area. Up to date, OX-A composed of 33 amino acids and OX-B composed of 28 amino acids have been identified, both of which are involved in the regulation of sleep-wake pattern and the regulation of feeding. 
     Both OX-A and OX-B act on OX receptors. Two subtypes, OX1 and OX2 receptors, of the OX receptors have been cloned so far, and both of which are known to be seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors expressed mainly in the brain. OX1 receptor is coupled specifically with Gq among the G protein subclasses, whereas OX2 receptor is coupled with Gq and Gi/o (see Non Patent Literature 1 and Non Patent Literature 2). Ox receptor subtypes are selectively expressed in the brain, and OX1 receptor is expressed in high density in the locus coeruleus, which is the nuclei originis of noradrenergic neurons, whereas OX2 receptor is expressed in high density in the tuberomammillary nucleus, which is the nuclei originis of histaminergic neuron (see Non Patent Literature 3, Non Patent Literature 4 and Non Patent Literature 5). The expression of both OX1 receptor and OX2 receptor are found in the raphe nucleus, which is the nuclei originis of serotoninergic neuron, and in the ventral tegmental area, which is the nuclei originis of dopaminergic neuron (see Non Patent Literature 3). The orexin neurons project to the monoaminergic neuron system at the brain stem and the hypothalamus and have excitatory effects to these neurons, and further the expression of OX2 receptor is also found in the cholinergic neuron at the brain stem responsible for regulating REM sleep and have effects to the nucleus activities thereof (see Non Patent Literature 3 and Non Patent literature 4). 
     In recent years, OX1 and OX2 receptors are focused on the role of the sleep-wake regulation, and the usefulness of OX receptor antagonists have been studied. When OX-A is intracerebroventricularly administered to a rat, increased spontaneous locomotor activity (see Non Patent Literature 6 and Non Patent Literature 7), increased stereotyped behavior (see Non Patent Literature 7), increased time spent awake (see Non Patent Literature 6), and the like, were observed. Decreased REM sleep produced by OX-A administration is completely antagonized by the pretreatment of an OX receptor antagonist (see Non Patent Literature 8). Further, it is reported that locomotor activity is decreased, sleep latency is shortened, and amount of non-REM sleep and REM sleep are increased by administering an orally available OX1 and OX2 receptors antagonist (see Non Patent Literature 9 and Non Patent Literature 10). Patent Literature 1 discloses a heteroaromatic ring derivative as the compound having OX receptor antagonistic activities but does not disclose the compound having the heteroaromatic methyl cyclic amine skeleton as described in the present application. Also, compounds, for example, having various structures described in Non Patent Literature 11 are generally known as OX receptor antagonists but the compounds having the heteroaromatic methyl cyclic amine skeleton described in the present application are not disclosed.

     To a solution of 2-[1-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]-5-fluoropyridine obtained in Reference Example 12 (4.0 g, 14.3 mmol) in CHCl 3  (72 mL), TFA (6.4 mL, 85.9 mmol) was added, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 6 hours at 35° C. TFA (6.4 mL, 85.9 mmol) was further added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for 3 hours at 35° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, then an aqueous solution of NaHCO 3  was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with CHCl 3 . The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over MgSO 4 , and then the drying agent was filtered off. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain [3-(5-fluoropyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]acetaldehyde (colorless oil). To a solution of [3-(5-fluoropyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]acetaldehyde in CHCl 3  (36 mL), activated molecular sieve 4 A (29 g) and 2-aminoethanol (1.1 mL, 14.3 mmol) were added, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 48 hours at room temperature. The molecular sieve 4 A was filtered off through Celite®, and then the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain a colorless oil. To a solution of the obtained colorless oil (0.10 g, 0.40 mmol) and 2-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)benzoic acid (76 mg, 0.40 mmol) in DMF (0.4 mL), DIPEA (0.21 mL, 1.2 mmol) and HATU (0.16 g, 0.48 mmol) were added, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 48 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was purified by HPLC to obtain the title compound (40.8 mg) (colorless solid).

     Test Example 
     Measurement of Orexin Antagonistic Activity 
     The antagonistic activities of the test compounds on human orexin-1 receptor (hOX1R) and orexin-2 receptor (hOX2R) were measured by modifying from the method described in literature (Toshikatsu Okumura et al., Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 280, 976-981, 2001). Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells forcibly expressing the hOX1R and hOX2R were seeded into a 96 well Black clear bottom plate (Nunc) at 20,000 cells per well, which were cultured in Ham&#39;s F-12 medium containing 0.1 mM MEM non-essential amino acids, 0.5 mg/ml G418, 10% fetal bovine serum (all by Invitrogen) for 16 hours under the conditions of 37° C., 5% CO2. After removing the medium, 100 μL of 0.5 μM Fluo-4AM ester (Dojin) in an assay buffer (25 mM HEPES (Dojin), Hank&#39;s balanced salt solution (Invitrogen), 0.1% bovine serum albumin, 2.5 mM probenecid, 200 μg/ml Amaranth (all by Sigma-Aldrich), pH 7.4) was added and the cells were incubated for 60 minutes at 37° C., 5% CO2. After removing the assay buffer containing fluo-3AM ester, the test compound was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide to be 10 mM and diluted with the assay buffer, 150 μL of which was added and incubated for 30 minutes. 
     The ligand peptide, in which 2 amino acids of human orexin-A are substituted (Pyr-Pro-Leu-Pro-Asp-Ala-Cys-Arg-Gln-Lys-Thr-Ala-Ser-Cys-Arg-Leu-Tyr-Glu-Leu-Leu-His-Gly-Ala-Gly-Asn-His-Ala-Ala-Gly-Ile-Leu-Thr-Leu- NH2; Peptide Institute, Inc.), were diluted with an assay buffer to give the final concentration of 300 pM for hOX1R and 3 nM for hOX2R, and 50 μL of the ligand solution was added to start the reaction. The reaction was measured for the fluorescence intensity of each well every second for 3 minutes using Functional Drug Screening System (FDSS; Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.), and the antagonistic activity was determined using the maximum fluorescence intensity as the indicator of intracellular Ca2+ concentration. The antagonistic activity of test compound was calculated when the fluorescence intensity of wells to which only the dilution buffer was added is 100% and the fluorescence intensity of wells to which the buffer containing no ligand or compound was added is 0%, and the 50% inhibition concentration (IC 50  value) was determined from the fluorescence intensities when the several concentrations of compounds were added. 
     The IC 50  values of the compounds of the present invention are shown in Table 6.
