## Background
RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is a 371 of PCT Application No. 371 of PCT/EP2007/058840, filed Aug. 24, 2007, which claims priority to German Patent Application No. 102006040914.0, filed Aug. 26, 2006, the contents of all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties.
The present invention relates to novel substituted benzimidazolone derivatives, to medicaments comprising them and to their use for the treatment of diseases.
Vasopressin (AVP) is an endogenous hormone which exerts various effects on organs and tissues. Vasopressin is related to oxytocin (OT), so that the two peptides are combined to form a vasopressin/oxytocin family. It is suspected that the vasopressin/oxytocin system is involved in various pathological states. At present, three vasopressin receptors (V1a, V1b or V3 and V2 receptors) and one oxytocin receptor (OT receptor) are known, via which vasopressin and oxytocin mediate their effects. Antagonists of these receptors, especially including antagonists which bind specifically to only one of the above receptors, represent novel therapeutic approaches to the treatment of diseases (M. Thibonnier, Exp. Opin. Invest. Drugs 1998, 7(5), 729-740). It has been found, for example, that a selective antagonist of the vasopressin V1b receptor exerts anxiolytic and anti-depressant effects in animal models (Griebel et al., PNAS 2002, 99, 6370; Serradeil-Le Gal et al., J. Pharm. Exp. Ther. 2002, 300, 1122). Since the described models have a certain predictive value for the clinical effects to be expected, antagonists of the V1b receptor are of particular interest for the treatment of emotional disturbances or disorders such as, for example, stress, anxiety states and/or depression.
The present application describes novel substituted benzimidazol-2-ones which have an arylsulfonyl group in position 1.
1-Phenylsulfonyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-ones have previously been described as ligands of vasopressin receptors. WO 93/15051, WO 95/18105, WO 98/25901, WO 01/55130, WO 01/55134, WO 01/064668, WO 01/98295, WO 05/021534 and WO 05/030755 describe derivatives derived from the oxindole structure and having arylsulfonyl groups in position 1. These compounds differ essentially in the substitution in position 3.
In particular, WO 93/15051 and WO 98/25901 describe 1-phenylsulfonyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one as ligands of vasopressin receptors in which the oxindole structure is substituted in position 3 by two alkyl radicals which may likewise be a cycloalkyl radical (spiro linkage). As alternative, the spiro ring may comprise heteroatoms such as oxygen and nitrogen (optionally with substituents).
WO 95/18105 describes 1-phenylsulfonyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one as ligands of vasopressin receptors which have a nitrogen atom in position 3. In addition, radicals which may be alkyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl or benzyl radicals (in each case optionally with substituents) are bonded in position 3.
Other publications, for example WO 01/55130, describe compounds which have nitrogen-containing rings (e.g. proline, homoproline, morpholine, tetrahydroisoquinoline, dihydroindole; in each case optionally with substituents) which are linked via their nitrogen atom to position 3 of the oxindole structure but which are substituted by phenylsulfonyl or phenyl groups (optionally with substituents) both in position 1 and in position 3 on the oxindole ring.
WO 03/008407 describes 1-phenylsulfonyloxindoles in which pyridylpiperazines are linked via an oxycarbonyl group to the oxindole in position 3.
WO 02/055514 describes substituted benzimidazol-2-ones which are substituted by a 4-piperidinyl group in position 1 and have a hydrogen atom, alkyl substituents or amine linked via an alkyl linker, in position 3. Said compounds are effective as vasopressin receptor antagonists and modulators of neuropeptide Y.
WO 05/009996 describes 1-arylsulfonylbenzimidazol-2-ones as active ingredients for the therapy of disorders of the central nervous system connected to the 5-HT6 receptor. The compounds have either an amine linked via an alkyl linker, or a monocyclic, nitrogen-containing heteroalicyclic ring with optional substituents, in position 3. WO 05/010003 claims corresponding compounds which represent aza derivatives of the basic benzimidazol-2-one structure.
WO 05/080334 describes heterocyclic compounds for the treatment of anxiety states and depression. Examples are amides of N-(2-acetyl) substituted benzimidazol-2-ones. The second nitrogen atom of the benzimidazol-2-one may moreover be replaced by oxygen, sulfur, or an alkyl-substituted nitrogen atom.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,585,394 describes 1-arylsulfonylbenzimidazol-2-ones as ligands of vasopressin and oxytocin receptors.
It is an object of the present invention to provide further compounds for the treatment or prophylaxis of various vasopressin-dependent diseases.
The compounds were intended preferably to have advantages over known compounds, such as, for example, an improved metabolic stability and/or an improved pharmacological activity. The advantages can in this case be shown for example by using suitable models which make it possible to make a prognostic statement about the desired use in the treatment of patients.

A further preferred embodiment provides at least one compound of the general formula (I) as described above, which has an improved metabolic stability.
The metabolic stability of a compound can be measured for example by incubating a solution of this compound with liver microsomes from particular species (for example rat, dog or human) and determining the half-life of the compound under these conditions (R S Obach, Curr Opin Drug Discov Devel. 2001, 4, 36-44). It is possible to conclude from larger half-lives that the metabolic stability of the compound is improved. The stability in the presence of human liver microsomes is of particular interest since it makes it possible to predict the metabolic degradation of the compound in the human liver. Compounds with increased metabolic stability are therefore probably also degraded more slowly in the liver (measured in the liver microsome test). The slower metabolic degradation in the liver can lead to higher and/or longer-lasting concentrations (effective levels) of the compound in the body, so that the elimination half-life of the compounds of the invention is increased. Increased and/or longer-lasting effective levels may lead to a better efficacy of the compound in the treatment or prophylaxis of various vasopressin-dependent or oxytocin-dependent diseases. An improved metabolic stability may additionally lead to an increased bioavailability after oral administration, because the compound is subjected, after being absorbed in the intestine, to less metabolic degradation in the liver (so-called first pass effect). An increased oral bioavailability may, because the concentration (effective level) of the compound is increased, lead to a better efficacy of the compound after oral administration.
A further preferred embodiment provides at least one compound of the general formula (I) as described above, which has an improved pharmacological activity in patients or relevant animal models which make prognostic statements possible for use in treatment.
Each of these preferred definitions of a variable can be combined with any definitions of the remaining variables.

Preparation of the Compounds of the Invention
Examples of synthetic routes for preparing the compounds of the invention are described below.







Compounds of the general formula X can be synthesized in the manner shown in synthesis scheme 1. The procedure depicted here is distinguished by carrying out the introduction of the sulfonamide in the last step after the carboxamide (IX) has already been formed. The synthesis and regioselective electrophilic substitution of the benzimidazolones II-VI are carried out in accordance with the literature (J. Org. Chem. 1995, 60, 1565-1582). The alkylation of the compounds VI can take place for example by treatment with alpha-halo carboxylic esters after deprotonation either with strong bases such as, for example, potassium tert-butoxide or sodium hydride, in a solvent such as, for example, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) or tetrahydrofuran (THF). The compound VIIg (A1=H) can additionally be obtained by alkylation of compounds VI with haloacetic esters using a base such as, for example, cesium carbonate, in a solvent such as, for example, acetonitrile. The cyano group as radical R1 can be introduced starting from the corresponding compounds with R1=iodine, for example by heating compounds VIIb with zinc cyanide in DMF in the presence of catalytic amounts of palladium tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) or by heating with potassium cyanide and catalytic amounts of palladium tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) in THF (J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 5072-5082). Removal of the esters and of the tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) groups can be carried out either under acidic or alkaline reaction conditions. In the case where the radical R4 is an ethyl or methyl ester, the deprotection to give the compounds VIII is carried out with 5N sodium hydroxide solution in a methanol/water mixture and subsequent aqueous workup. In the case where R4=tert-butyl, deprotection takes place in a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in dichloromethane (DCM). The reaction step to give the carboxamides (IX or X) can be carried out using the respective amine either with (3-dimethylaminopropyl)ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCl) or using solid phase-bound carbodiimide in a solvent such as, for example, DCM. Sulfonylation of the free benzimidazolone nitrogen in the compounds IX can take place by treatment with sulfonyl chlorides B—SO2—Cl after deprotonation either with a strong base such as, for example, potassium tert-butoxide or sodium hydride, or with triethylamine or solid phase-bound tertiary amine bases in the presence of catalytic amounts of N,N-dimethyl-aminopyridine (DMAP) in a solvent such as, for example, DMF or THF.




Compounds VIIc can also be prepared from commercially available 2-nitro-4-cyanoaniline by the method depicted in scheme 1a.




Compounds Xd with unsubstituted benzimidazolone basic structures (R1=hydrogen) can be synthesized (in analogy to synthesis scheme 1) as shown in synthesis scheme 2. Starting from compound IV, alkylation (see synthesis scheme 1) results in compound VIId. In the case where the radical R4 is an ethyl or methyl ester, deprotection to give the compounds VIIId is carried out with 5N sodium hydroxide solution in a methanol/water mixture and subsequent aqueous workup. If R4=tert-butyl, stepwise deprotection is also possible (first that of the ethyl carbamate with isopropylamine in THF, and then that of the tert-butyl ester with a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in dichloromethane (DCM). This stepwise selective deprotection strategy is further suitable also for derivatizations differing from the general synthesis scheme 2, and inversion of reaction sequences (for example introduction of the sulfonamide first, before synthesis of the carboxamide).







As depicted in synthesis scheme 3, starting from the compounds VII with R4=tert-butyl it is possible to remove the Boc protective group selectively with 2 percent TFA solution in DCM. The nitrogen atom of the benzimidazolone XI deprotected in this way can then be converted by treatment with sulfonyl chlorides B—SO2Cl in the presence of triethylamine and catalytic amounts of DMAP in a solvent such as, for example, DMF or THF into compounds XII. After deprotection of the tert-butyl ester XII with a mixture of TFA and DCM to give the free carboxylic acids XIII, the reaction step to give the carboxamides (XIV or XV) can be carried out using the respective amine either with EDCl or with solid phase-bound carbodiimide in a solvent such as, for example, DCM. As already also indicated in synthesis scheme 1 it is possible to modify the initially introduced carboxamide (XIV) in further synthesis steps. This is possible by using a diamine synthon in the reaction step VIII→IX or XIII→XIV, in which in each case a nitrogen atom is protected by a protective group. After the amide coupling (VIII→IX or XIII→XIV), this protective group can be removed, and the nitrogen atom which has thus been deprotected can be further derivatized. Boc protective groups are deprotected in a mixture of TFA and DCM, and a benzyl protective group can be deprotected by reaction with 1-chloroethyl chloroformate in DCM and subsequent heating of the intermediate thus formed in methanol (MeOH). The amine obtained in this way can be reacted with aldehydes or ketones in the presence of a reducing agent such as, for example, sodium cyanoborohydride or solid phase-bound triacetoxyborohydride, in a solvent such as, for example, THF, to give the respective tertiary amines X and XV (reductive amination: J. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 1992, 4th edition, Wiley, New York, p. 411; 898).




Compounds of the general formula (I) with 5,6-dichloro-substituted benzimidazolone basic structure are obtained from reaction of 1,2-diamino-4,5-dichlorobenzene with CDI in THF. After reaction of the benzimidazolone XVI with Boc2O in THF and subsequent disproportionation of the reaction product XVII with one equivalent XVI, the intermediate XVIII can be obtained and can be used in analogy to compounds VI in synthesis scheme 1 in further reaction steps to synthesize compounds of the invention.




Compounds of the general formula (I) with 6-chloro-substituted benzimidazolone basic structure (synthesis scheme 5) are obtained from alkylation of compound IV in analogy to synthesis step VI→VII in synthesis scheme 1. The further reaction steps VIIe→Xe can then be carried out in analogy to general synthesis stages VII→X in synthesis scheme 1 or 2.








As depicted in synthesis schemes 6 and 6a, orthogonally protected triamines XXI and XXIa which have both a Boc and benzylamino protective group can be prepared from bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amine in three stages. Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amine can be converted into the benzylamine XIX by treatment with benzyl bromide and potassium carbonate in a solvent such as, for example, acetone. After conversion into the hydrochloride, the dichloride XX is obtained by reacting with thionyl chloride in a solvent such as, for example, DCM. The orthogonally protected triamines XXI can be obtained from reaction of XX with the primary amino group of a Boc-protected diamine in the presence of a base such as, for example, sodium bicarbonate, in a solvent such as, for example, ethanol. This reaction route also makes it possible to synthesize enantiopure compounds XXI when the enantiopure amines (R)- and (S)-3-amino-1-Boc-pyrrolidine or (R)- and (S)-3-amino-1-Boc-piperidine are used in the reaction step XX→XXI or chiral compounds XXIa when the enantiopure amines (R)- and (S)-3-aminomethyl-1-Boc-pyrrolidine or (R)- and (S)-3-aminomethyl-1-Boc-piperidine are used in the reaction step XX→XXIa. The compounds XXI and XXIa make it possible for the two secondary amino groups to be selectively derivatized through chemical differentiation of the reaction conditions for removing the respective protective groups. The Boc protective group can be removed under acidic reaction conditions, such as, for example, with a mixture of TFA and DCM, whereas the benzyl group can be removed by hydrogenation either with hydrogen catalyzed by palladium/carbon, or can be removed with 1-chloroethyl chloroformate and by subsequent heating.
In the case where Y is a chiral radical, the compounds IX, X, XIV and XV may result as a mixture of diastereomers. If the compounds X and XV of the invention result as a mixture of diastereomers, the diastereomers may be separable by preparative HPLC using the suitable solvent and column material.
The invention is explained in more detail below by means of examples without being restricted to the examples mentioned.

The compounds of the invention represent antagonists of the so-called receptors of the vasopressin/oxytocin family. Such compounds can be investigated in suitable assays which establish the affinity to a receptor, with the affinity constant Ki representing a measure of the potency of the compounds and a smaller value representing a larger potency. The compounds of the invention were tested in the following receptor binding assay for their affinity for the V1b receptor. The compounds of the invention have also affinity for the V1a receptor.
Vasopressin V1b Receptor Binding Assay:
Substances:
The test substances were dissolved in a concentration of 10−2 M in DMSO and further diluted to 5×10−4 M to 5×10−9 M in DMSO. This series of DMSO predilutions was diluted 1:10 with assay buffer. The substance concentration was again diluted 1:5 in the assay mixture (2% DMSO in the mixture).
Membrane Preparation:
CHO-K1 cells with stably expressed human vasopressin V1b receptor (clone 3H2) were harvested and homogenized in 50 mM Tris-HCl and in the presence of protease inhibitors (Roche complete Mini #1836170) with a Polytron homogenizer at a medium setting for 2×10 seconds and subsequently centrifuged at 40 000×g for 1 h. The membrane pellet was again homogenized and centrifuged as described and then taken up in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, homogenized and stored in aliquots frozen in liquid nitrogen at −190° C.
Binding Assay:
The binding assay was carried out by a method based on that of Tahara et al. (Tahara A et al., Brit. J. Pharmacol. 125, 1463-1470 (1998)). The incubation buffer was: 50 mM Tris, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA, pH 7.4. In the assay mixture (250 μl), membranes (50 μg/ml protein in incubation buffer) from CHO-K1 cells with stably expressed human V1b receptors (cell line hV1b—3H2_CHO) were incubated with 1.5 nM 3H-AVP (8-Arg-vasopressin, PerkinElmer #18479) in incubation buffer (50 mM Tris, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA, pH 7.4) (total binding) or additionally with increasing concentrations of test substance (displacement experiment). The nonspecific binding was determined with 1 uM AVP (Bachem #H1780). All determinations were carried out as triplicate determinations. After incubation (60 minutes at room temperature), the free radioligand was removed by vacuum filtration (Skatron cell harvester 7000) through Wathman GF/B glass fiber filter mats, and the filters were transferred into scintillation vials. The liquid scintillation measurement took place in a Tricarb model 2000 or 2200CA instrument (Packard). Conversion of the measured cpm into dpm was carried out with the aid of a standard quench series.
Evaluation:
The binding parameters were calculated by nonlinear regression in SAS. The algorithms of the program operate in analogy to the LIGAND analysis program (Munson P J and Rodbard D, Analytical Biochem. 107, 220-239 (1980)). The Kd of 3H-AVP for the recombinant hV2 receptors is 0.4 nM and was used to determine the Ki value.
The above assay was used to measure the affinities of the compounds of the invention for the human vasopressin V1b receptor and to determine the affinity constants (Ki). The V1b receptor affinity of selected compounds is detailed in table I below (+++ means<100 nM, ++ means 100-500 nM and + means 500-10 000 nM).

In addition, the following assays can be used to determine the affinities for further vasopressin receptors or their subtypes such as, for example, V1a and V2, and the oxytocin (OT) receptor. The quotients, obtainable therein, of the corresponding Ki values, i.e. “Ki(V1a)/Ki(V1b)”, “Ki(V2)/Ki(V1b)” and/or “Ki(OT)Ki(V1b)”, can serve as a measure of a possible selectivity of the compounds of the invention in relation to a particular vasopressin or oxytocin receptor.

After incubation (60 minutes at room temperature), the free radioligand was removed by vacuum filtration (Skatron cell harvester 7000) through Wathman GF/B glass fiber filter mats, and the filters were transferred into scintillation vials.
The liquid scintillation measurement took place in a Tricarb model 2000 or 2200CA instrument (Packard). Conversion of the measured cpm into dpm was carried out with the aid of a standard quench series.
Evaluation:
The binding parameters were calculated by nonlinear regression in SAS. The algorithms of the program operate in analogy to the LIGAND analysis program (Munson P J and Rodbard D, Analytical Biochem. 107, 220-239 (1980)). The Kd of 3H-AVP for the recombinant hV2 receptors is 2.4 nM and was used to determine the Ki value.
Oxytocin Receptor Binding Assay
Substances:
The substances were dissolved in a concentration of 10−2 M in DMSO and diluted with incubation buffer (50 mM Tris, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA, pH 7.4).
Cell Preparation:
Confluent HEK-293 cells with transiently expressing recombinant human oxytocin receptors were centrifuged at 750×g and at room temperature for 5 minutes. The residue was taken up in ice-cold lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 10% glycerol, pH 7.4 and Roche Complete Protease Inhibitor) and subjected to an osmotic shock at 4° C. for 20 minutes. The lyzed cells were then centrifuged at 750×g and at 4° C. for 20 minutes, the residue was taken up in incubation buffer, and aliquots of 107 cells/ml were prepared. The aliquots were frozen at −80° C. until used.
Binding Assay:
On the day of the experiment, the cells were thawed, diluted with incubation buffer and homogenized using a Multipette Combitip (Eppendorf, Hamburg). The reaction mixture of 0.250 ml was composed of 2 to 5×104 recombinant cells, 3-4 nM 3H-oxytocin (PerkinElmer, NET 858) in the presence of test substance (inhibition plot) or only incubation buffer (total binding). The nonspecific binding was determined with 10−6 M oxytocin (Bachem AG, H2510). Determinations in triplicate were set up. Bound and free radioligand were separated by filtration under vacuum with Whatman GF/B glass fiber filters using a Skatron cell harvester 7000. The bound radioactivity was determined by liquid scintillation measurement in a Tricarb beta counter, model 2000 or 2200CA (Packard).
Evaluation:
The binding parameters were calculated by nonlinear regression analysis (SAS), in analogy to the LIGAND program of Munson and Rodbard (Analytical Biochem 1980; 107: 220-239). The Kd of 3H-oxytocin for the recombinant hOT receptors is 7.6 nM and was used to determine the Ki value.
The metabolic stability of the compounds of the invention was determined in the following assay.
Determination of the Microsomal Half-Life:
The test substances are incubated in a concentration of 0.5 μM as follows: 0.5 μM test substance is preincubated together with liver microsomes of various species (0.25 mg of protein/ml) in 0.05M potassium phosphate buffer pH 7.4 in microtiter plates at 37° C. for 5 min. The reaction is started by adding NADPH (1 mg/ml). Aliquots are taken after 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 min, and the reaction is stopped with the same volume of acetonitrile and cooled down. The samples are frozen until analyzed. The half-life of the compound can be calculated, assuming first order kinetics, from the decrease in the concentration of the compound with time.
