PATENT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to methods for preventing and treating neurodegenerative disorders in patients in need thereof by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of general formula I 
         [0000]    
       
                 
         
             
             
         
       
     
         [0000]    wherein the groups R 1  to R 6  and R 7a , R 7b , R 7c  are defined hereinafter, including the tautomers, the stereoisomers, the mixtures thereof and the salts thereof. In addition the present invention relates to the use of a compound of general formula I according to this invention for preparing a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating neurodegenerative disorders. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    Glucopyranosyl-substituted benzene derivatives inhibit the sodium-dependent glucose cotransporters (SGLT), in particular SGLT2. Reuptake of filtered glucose across epithelial cells of the kidney proceeds via sodium-dependent glucose cotransporters (SGLTs) located in the brush-border membranes in the proximal tubuli along the sodium gradient (1) . There are at least 3 SGLT isoforms that differ in their expression pattern as well as in their physico-chemical properties (2) . SGLT2 is exclusively expressed in the kidney (3) . Under normoglycemia, glucose is completely reabsorbed by SGLTs in the kidney, whereas the reuptake capacity of the kidney is saturated at glucose concentrations higher than 10 mM, resulting in glucosuria (“diabetes mellitus”). This threshold concentration can be decreased by SGLT2-inhibition. Renal filtration and reuptake of glucose contributes, among other mechanisms, to the steady state plasma glucose concentration and can therefore serve as an antidiabetic target. Therefore the glucopyranosyl-substituted benzene derivatives are proposed as inducers of urinary sugar excretion and as medicaments in the treatment of diabetes.

         [0006]    Alzheimer&#39;s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by multiple cognitive deficits including worsening of memory, judgement, and comprehension and deterioration in global functioning. As the disease progresses, motor, sensory, and linguistic abilities are also affected until there is global impairment of multiple cognitive functions. These cognitive losses occur gradually, but typically lead to severe impairment and eventual death in the range of four to twelve years. Current treatments are not efficacious in every patient. 
         [0007]    Therefore there is an unmet medical need for drugs with a good efficacy with regard to the treatment, prevention or slowing, delaying or reversing progression of neurodegenerative disorders, such as dementia, in particular dementia of Alzheimer type, while at the same time showing an improved safety profile. 
       AIM OF THE INVENTION 
       [0008]    An aim of the present invention is to find a new method for treating of neurodegenerative disorders, in particular of a dementia. 
         [0009]    Another aim of the present invention is to find a new method for preventing or slowing, delaying or reversing progression of neurodegenerative disorders, in particular of a dementia. 
         [0010]    A further aim of the present invention is to find a new therapeutic use of a glucopyranosyl-substituted benzene derivative. 
         [0011]    A further aim of the present invention is to provide new pharmaceutical compositions which are suitable for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, in particular dementia. 
         [0012]    Other aims of the present invention will become apparent to the skilled man directly from the foregoing and following remarks.

         [0088]    Some terms used above and hereinafter to describe the compounds according to the invention will now be defined more closely. 
         [0089]    The term halogen denotes an atom selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br and I. 
         [0090]    The term C 1-n -alkyl, wherein n may have a value of 2 to 18, denotes a saturated, branched or unbranched hydrocarbon group with 1 to n C atoms. Examples of such groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, iso-pentyl, neo-pentyl, tert-pentyl, n-hexyl, iso-hexyl, etc. 
         [0091]    The term C 2-n -alkynyl, wherein n has a value of 3 to 6, denotes a branched or unbranched hydrocarbon group with 2 to n C atoms and a C≡C triple bond. Examples of such groups include ethynyl, 1-propynyl, 2-propynyl, 1-butynyl, 2-butynyl, 3-butynyl, 1-pentynyl, 2-pentynyl, 3-pentynyl, 4-pentynyl, 1-hexynyl, 2-hexynyl, 3-hexynyl, 4-hexynyl, 5-hexynyl etc. Unless otherwise stated alkynyl groups are connected to the remainder of the molecule via the C atom in position 1. Therefore terms such as 1-propynyl, 2-propynyl, 1-butynyl, etc. are equivalent to the terms 1-propyn-1-yl, 2-propyn-1-yl, 1-butyn-1-yl, etc. This also applies analogously to C 2-n -alkenyl groups. 
         [0092]    The term C 1-n -alkoxy denotes a C 1-n -alkyl-O group, wherein C 1-n -alkyl is as hereinbefore defined.

         [0102]    The compounds according to the invention may be obtained using methods of synthesis known in principle. Preferably the compounds are obtained by methods as described for example in WO 05/092877, WO 06/064033, WO 2006/120208, WO 06/089872, WO 06/108842 and in the literature cited therein. 
         [0103]    As already mentioned, the compounds of general formula I according to the invention and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly an inhibitory effect on the sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter SGLT, preferably SGLT2. In addition the compounds according to the invention of general formula I and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof are potential therapeutic agents in the treatment and/or prevention of neurodegenerative disorders, in particular dementia. 
         [0104]    Dementia is characterized by the development of multiple cognitive deficits and memory impairment. Such cognitive deficits may include one or more of aphasia, apraxia, agnosia and disturbance in executive functioning (see for example “Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders”, 4 th  edition, American Psychiatric Association, 2000). 
         [0105]    The compounds according to this invention are potentially valuable in the treatment of one or more neurodegenerative disorders and in preventing or slowing, delaying or reversing progression of one or more neurodegenerative disorders in a patient in need thereof. 
         [0106]    The patient whose illness or condition is to be treated or prevented according to the invention is a mammal, particularly a human being. Preferably the term patient comprises an individual diagnosed to have a neurodegenerative disorder, in particular a dementia, especially dementia of the Alzheimer type. The term patient also comprises an individual diagnosed to have an increased risk to develop a neurodegenerative disorder, in particular a dementia, especially dementia of the Alzheimer type. 
         [0107]    In the context of this invention the term neurodegenerative disorder denotes in particular dementia. The term dementia comprises dementia of the Alzheimer type, vascular dementia, dementia in Parkinson and dementia due to other general medical conditions. Dementia due to other medical conditions comprises dementia in chorea Huntington, dystonias, degenerative ataxias, AIDS-related dementia, Creutzfeld-Jakob&#39;s syndrome, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, prion-related infections, diseases involving mitochondrial dysfunction, Down&#39;s syndrome, hepatic encephalopathy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, olivoponto-cerebellar atrophy, post-operative cognitive deficit, mild cognitive impairment, hypoxia, ischaemia resulting from cardiac arrest, stroke, glioma and other tumours, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, convulsions, epilepsy, Korsakoff syndrome, depression and schizophrenia. 
         [0108]    The course of dementia of the Alzheimer Type is characterized by gradual onset and continuing cognitive decline. 
         [0109]    The compounds according to this invention may improve cognitive abilities and memory, in particular in a patient as defined hereinbefore. Therefore by the administration of a compound to a patient according to this invention a cognitive decline or memory impairment may be attenuated, slowed, delayed or even reversed. 
         [0110]    The effect of the compounds according to this invention with respect to cognitive abilities, learning and memory can be tested by methods described in the literature and known to the one skilled in the art. Examples of such tests are described in the following: 
         [0111]    Cognitive abilities, in particular those related to learning and memorizing, may be tested in the Morris water maze. The Morris water maze is a device to investigate spatial learning and memory in rodents. It consists of a large circular pool filled with opaque water in which a small escape platform is submerged underneath the water surface. During a number of training trials, animals learn to find the platform and escape from the pool, using the different extra-maze cues contained in the experimental room. Details are described by D&#39;Hooge R. and De Deyn P. P. (2001) “Applications of the Morris water maze in the study of learning and memory.”, Brain Research Reviews 36, 60-90. 
         [0112]    Another method to test cognitive abilities is based on contextual fear conditioning. Classical fear conditioning is a reference task to investigate fear memory. It is assessed in operant chambers where the animals receive a mild electric shock. The association between the experimental chamber and the shock is tested 24 hours later by returning the animals in the chambers in which training occurred (context) and measuring their freezing behaviour, i.e. the tendency of the animals to remain in motionless, defensive posture. Details are described by Kim J. J. and Jung M. W. (2006) “Neural circuits and mechanisms involved in Pavlovian fear conditioning: A critical review.”, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews 30, 188-202. 
         [0113]    A further test of cognitive abilities is related to the recognition of novel objects. The test is based on differential exploration of familiar and new objects. In the first trial (T1), animals are exposed to two identical objects (samples) and in a second Trial (T2), two dissimilar objects, a familiar (the sample) and a new one. Increased exploration of the novel object is a measure of recognition memory. Such a test is described by Prickaerts J. et al. (2004) “Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibition improves early memory consolidation of object information”, Neurochemistry International 45, 915-928. 
         [0114]    The aforementioned tests of cognitive abilities can also be performed with Alzheimer disease animal models, for example with a transgenic mouse model, such as the Tg2576 mice. 
         [0115]    The dosage required to achieve the corresponding activity for treatment or prevention usually depends on the compound which is to be administered, the patient, the nature and gravity of the illness or condition and the method and frequency of administration and is for the patient&#39;s doctor to decide. Expediently, the dosage may be from 0.1 to 100 mg, preferably 0.1 to 30 mg, by intravenous route, and 0.1 to 500 mg, preferably 0.5 to 100 mg, by oral route, in each case administered 1 to 4 times a day. For this purpose, the compounds of formula I prepared according to the invention may be formulated, optionally together with other active substances, together with one or more inert conventional carriers and/or diluents, e.g. with corn starch, lactose, glucose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, citric acid, tartaric acid, water, water/ethanol, water/glycerol, water/sorbitol, water/polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, cetylstearyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose or fatty substances such as hard fat or suitable mixtures thereof, to produce conventional galenic preparations such as plain or coated tablets, capsules, powders, suspensions or suppositories.
