TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a novel heterocyclic compound.
BACKGROUND ART
Since causal factor of schizophrenia as well as of bipolar disorder, mood disorders and emotional disorders is heterogeneous, it is desirable that a drug has multiple pharmacological effects so as to develop wide treatment spectrum.
WO2004/026864A1 discloses that a carbostyril derivative represented by the general formula:




(wherein A′ represents —(CH2)mCH2—, —(CH2)mO—, etc.; m represents an integer of 1 to 4; and RA represents a hydrogen atom, a C1-4 alkyl group which may be substituted with 1 to 3 fluorine atoms, etc.) has D2 receptor antagonist activity and serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptor antagonist activity and it is effective for treatment of schizophrenia and other central nervous system disorders).

However, there is no description in WO2004/026864A1 that carbostyril derivatives described in the document have D2 receptor partial agonist activity, 5-HT2A receptor antagonist activity, α1 receptor antagonist activity and serotonin uptake inhibitory activity together and have a wide treatment spectrum.
WO 2005/019215 A1 discloses the compounds represented by the following formula:




(wherein A is —(CH2)mCH2)—, —(CH2)mO— or the like; m is an integer of 2 to 5; D is N, C or the like; Z and Q are independently N, C or CH, provided that at least one of Z and Q is N; X and Y are independently C, N or the like, and the bond between X and Y is a single or double bond; R1 is hydrogen, (C1-C3)alkyl group or the like; R4, R5, R6 and R7 each represents hydrogen, alkyl group or the like; and G represents a group of monocyclic or bicyclic compound), which bind to dopamine D2 receptors. WO 2005/019215 A1 teaches that some compounds disclosed therein have an activity as partial agonists of D2 receptors or an activity as antagonists of D2 receptors, and may be effective for the treatment of schizophrenia and other central nervous system.

However, WO 2005/019215 A1 does not specifically disclose the compounds of the present invention.

A potent substituted benzamide drug with high affinity for dopamine D-2 receptors in the rat brain. Biochem. Pharmacol., 1985; 34: 2251-2259).
Wistar male rats were decapitated, the brain was retrieved immediately and corpus striatum was taken out. It was homogenized in 50 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris)-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH 7.4) of a volume 50 times of the weight of the tissue using a homogenizer with a high-speed rotating blade, and centrifuged at 4° C., 48,000×g for 10 minutes. The obtained precipitate was suspended again in the above-described buffer of a volume 50 times of the weight of the tissue and after incubated at 37° C. for 10 minutes, centrifuged in the above-described condition. The obtained precipitate was suspended in 50 mM (Tris)-hydrochloric acid buffer (containing 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, pH 7.4) of a volume 25 times of the weight of the tissue and preserved by freezing at −85° C. till it was used for binding assay as a membrane specimen.
The binding assay was performed using 40 μl of the membrane specimen, 20 μl of [3H]-raclopride (final concentration 1 to 2 nM), 20 μl of a test drug and 50 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (containing 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, pH 7.4) so that the total amount was 200 μl (final dimethylsulfoxide concentration 1%). The reaction was performed at room temperature for 1 hour and terminated by conducting suction filtration with a cell harvester on a glass fiber filter plate. The filter plate made of glass fiber was washed with 50 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH 7.4), and after dried, a microplate liquid scintillation cocktail was added and the radioactivity was measured with a microplate scintillation counter. Radioactivity in the presence of 10 μM (+)-butaclamol hydrochloride was assumed as nonspecific binding.
IC50 value was calculated from concentration-dependent reaction using a non-linear analysis program. Ki value was calculated from IC50 value using Cheng-Prussoff formula. The results are shown in the following Table 22.

Urapidil and some analogues with hypotensive properties show high affinities for 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) binding sites of the 5-HT1A subtype and for α1-adrenoceptor binding sites. Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch Pharmacol., 1987, 336: 597-601).
Wistar male rats were decapitated, the brain was retrieved immediately and cerebral cortex was taken out. It was homogenized in 50 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (100 mM NaCl, containing 2 mM dihydrogen disodium ethylene diamine tetraacetate, pH 7.4) of a volume 20 times of the weight of the tissue using a homogenizer with a high-speed rotating blade, and centrifuged at 4° C., 80,000×g for 20 minutes. The obtained precipitate was suspended in the above-described buffer of a volume 20 times of the weight of the tissue and after incubated at 37° C. for 10 minutes, centrifuged in the above-described condition. The obtained precipitate was suspended again in the above-described buffer of a volume 20 times of the weight of the tissue and centrifuged in the above-described condition. The obtained precipitate was suspended in 50 mM (Tris)-hydrochloric acid buffer (containing 1 mM dihydrogen disodium ethylene diamine tetraacetate, pH 7.4) of a volume 20 times of the weight of the tissue and preserved by freezing at −85° C. till it was used for binding assay as a membrane specimen.
The binding assay was performed using 40 μl of the membrane specimen, 20 μl of [3H]-prazosin (final concentration 0.2 to 0.5 nM), 20 μl of a test drug and 50 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (containing 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4) so that the total amount was 200 μl (final dimethylsulfoxide concentration 1%). The reaction was performed at 30° C. for 45 minutes and terminated by conducting suction filtration with a cell harvester on a glass fiber filter plate.
The filter plate made of glass fiber was washed with 50 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH 7.4), and after dried, a microplate liquid scintillation cocktail was added and the radioactivity was measured with a microplate scintillation counter. Radioactivity in the presence of 10 μM phentolamine hydrochloride was assumed as nonspecific binding.
IC50 value was calculated from concentration-dependent reaction using a non-linear analysis program. Ki value was calculated from IC50 value using Cheng-Prussoff formula.
Pharmacological Test 2
Partial Agonistic Activity on Dopamine D2 Receptor Using D2 Receptor Expression Cells
Partial agonistic activity on dopamine D2 receptor was evaluated by quantitatively determining cyclic AMP production inhibitory effect of a test compound in dopamine D2 receptor expression cells in which adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) production was induced by forskolin stimulation.
Human recombinant dopamine D2 receptor expressing Chinese hamster ovary/DHFR(−) cells were cultured in a culture medium (Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM culture medium), 10% fetal bovine serum, 50 I.U./ml penicillin, 50 μg/ml streptomycin, 200 μg/ml geneticin, 0.1 mM sodium hypoxanthine, 16 μM thymidine) at 37° C. and 5% carbon dioxide condition. Cells were seeded at 104 cells/well on a 96-well microtiter plate coated with poly-L-lysine and grown under the same condition for 2 days. Each well was washed with 100 μl of a culture medium (IMDM culture medium, 0.1 mM sodium hypoxanthine, 16 μM thymidine). The culture medium was replaced with 50 μl of culture medium (IMDM culture medium, 0.1% sodium ascorbate, 0.1 mM sodium hypoxanthine, 16 μM thymidine) having dissolved therein 3 μM of a test compound. After allowed to incubate at 37° C., 5% carbon dioxide condition for 20 minutes, the culture medium was replaced with 100 μl of forskolin stimulative culture medium (IMDM culture medium, 0.1% sodium ascorbate, 0.1 mM sodium hypoxanthine, 16 μM thymidine, 10 μM forskolin, 500 μM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine) having 3 μM of the test compound dissolved therein and allowed to incubate at 37° C., 5% carbon dioxide condition for 10 minutes. After the culture medium was removed, 200 μl of Lysis 1B aqueous solution (Amersham Bioscience, reagent attached to cyclic AMP biotrack enzyme immunoassay system) was dispensed and shaken for 10 minutes. The aqueous solution of each well was used as a sample for measurement. Samples for measurement quadruply diluted were subjected to measurement of the quantity of cyclic AMP using the above-described enzyme immunoassay system. Inhibition ratio of the respective test compound was calculated assuming that the quantity of cyclic AMP of the well to which no test compound was added was 100%. In this empiric test system, dopamine which was used as a control drug suppressed the quantity of cyclic AMP to about 10% as the maximum activity.
It was confirmed that test compounds had partial agonistic activity for dopamine D2 receptor in the above-described test.
Since the test compounds has partial agonistic activity for dopamine D2 receptor, they can stabilize dopamine neurotransmission to a normal condition in a schizophrenia patient and as a result, exhibit, for example, positive and negative condition improving effect, cognitive impairment improving effect and the other symptom improving effects without causing side effects.
Pharmacological Test 3
Inhibitory Effect on Apomorphine-Induced Stereotyped Behavior in Rats
Wistar rats (male, six-seven weeks old, Japan SLC, Inc.) were used as test animals. A test compound was suspended in 5% gum arabic/(physiological saline or water) using an agate mortar and was diluted with the same solvent if necessary.
Test animals were fasted overnight from the day before. Apomorphine (0.7 mg/kg) was subcutaneously administered (1 ml/kg) 1 hour after each test compound was orally administered (5 ml/kg). Stereotyped behavior was observed for 1 minute respectively 20, 30 and 40 minutes after apomorphine injection.
The stereotyped behavior of each animal was quantified according to the following condition and score made at three points were summed up and the anti-apomorphine effect was evaluated. Six test animals were used for each group.
0: The appearance of the animals is the same as saline treated rats;
1: Discontinuous sniffing, constant exploratory activity;
2: Continuous sniffing, periodic exploratory activity;
3: Continuous sniffing, discontinuous biting, gnawing or licking. Very brief periods of locomotor activity;
4: Continuous biting, gnawing or licking; no exploratory activity.
Non-clinical statistical analysis system was used for all statistical processing. When the significance probability value was lower than 0.05, it was judged that a significant difference existed. The difference of the score between the solvent administration group and each test compound administration group was analyzed using Wilcoxon rank-sum test or Steel test. In addition, linear regression analysis was used for calculating 50% effective dose (95% confidence interval).
Since the test compounds showed inhibitory effect for apomorphine-induced stereotyped behavior, it was confirmed that the test compounds have D2 receptor antagonistic effect.

Inhibitory Effect on (±) D-2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Iodoamphetamine (DOI) Induced Head Twitch in Rats
Wistar rats (male, six-seven weeks old, Japan SLC, Inc.) were used as test animals. A test compound was suspended in 5% gum arabic/(physiological saline or water) using an agate mortar and was diluted with the same solvent if necessary.
Test animals were fasted overnight from the day before. DOI (5.0 mg/kg) was subcutaneously administered (1 ml/kg) 1 hour after each test compound was orally administered (5 ml/kg). The number of head twitches was counted for 10 minutes immediately after DOI injection. Six test animals were used for each group.
Non-clinical statistical analysis was used for all statistical processing. When the significance probability value was lower than 0.05, it was judged that a significant difference existed. The difference of the number of head twitches between the solvent administration group and each test compound administration group was analyzed using t-test or Dunnett's test. In addition, linear regression analysis was used for calculating 50% effective dose (95% confidence interval).
Since the test compounds showed inhibitory effect for DOI-induced head twitch, it was confirmed that the test compounds have serotonin 5HT2A receptor antagonistic effect.
Pharmacological Test 5
Catalepsy Inducing Effect in Rats
Wistar rats (male, six-seven weeks old, Japan SLC, Inc.) were used as test animals. A test compound was suspended in 5% gum arabic/(physiological saline or water) using an agate mortar and was diluted with the same solvent if necessary.
Test animals were fasted overnight from the day before observation on catalepsy and ptosis was performed 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours after each test compound was orally administered (5 ml/kg). Six test animals were used for each group.
One forepaw of a rat was placed on an edge of a steel small box (width: 6.5 cm, depth: 4.0 cm, height: 7.2 cm) (an unnatural pose) and when the rat maintained the pose for more than 30 seconds, it was judged that the case was catalepsy positive. This observation was performed three times at each point, and if there was at least one positive case, it was judged that catalepsy occurred in the individual.
As a result, catalepsy induction effect of a test compound was dissociated from inhibitory effect on apomorphine-induced stereotyped behavior, therefore it was suggested that apprehension for extrapyramidal side effect in clinic would be low.
Pharmacological Test 6
Measurement of Serotonin (5-HT) Uptake Inhibitory Activity of a Test Compound by Rat Brain Synaptosome
Wistar male rats were decapitated, the brain was retrieved and frontal cortex was dissected out, and it was homogenized in 0.32 M sucrose solution of a weight 20 times of the weight of the tissue using a Potter type homogenizer. The homogenate was centrifuged at 4° C., 1,000×g for 10 minutes, the obtained supernatant was further centrifuged at 4° C., 20,000×g for 20 minutes, and the pellet was suspended in an incubation buffer (20 mM Hepes buffer (pH 7.4) containing 10 mM glucose, 145 mM sodium chloride, 4.5 mM potassium chloride, 1.2 mM magnesium chloride, 1.5 mM calcium chloride), which was used as crude synaptosome fraction.
5-HT uptake reaction was performed in a volume of 200 μl using a 96-well round bottom plate and pargyline (final concentration 10 μM) and sodium ascorbate (final concentration 0.2 mg/ml) were contained in the incubation buffer upon reaction and used.
Incubation buffer (total counting), non-labeled 5-HT (final concentration 10 μM, non-specific counting) and the diluted test compound (final concentration 300 nM) were added to each well. One-tenth quantity of the final volume of the synaptosome fraction was added and after preincubated at 37° C. for 10 minutes, tritium labeled 5-HT solution (final concentration 8 nM) was added and uptake reaction was started at 37° C. The uptake time was 10 minutes and the reaction was terminated by vacuum filtration through a 96-well fiber glass filter paper plate, and after the filter paper was washed with cold normal saline, it was dried enough and Microscint0 (Perkin-Elmer) was added to the filter and remaining radioactivity on the filter was measured.
Serotonin uptake inhibitory activity (%) was calculated from the radioactivity of total counting as 100%, of non-specific counting as 0%, and of counting obtained with test compound.

% of inhibition of 5-HT(%)=100−[(Count obtained with test compound-Nonspecific count(0% Uptake))/(Total count(100% Uptake)−Nonspecific count(0% Uptake))]×100

The results are shown in the next Table 24.
