FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to spirocyclic heterocyclic derivatives (including derivatives of spiro(2H-1-benzopyran-2,4′-piperidines), pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, and methods for their pharmaceutical use. In certain embodiments, the spirocyclic heterocyclic derivatives are ligands of the δ opioid receptor and are useful, inter alia, for treating and/or preventing pain, anxiety, gastrointestinal disorders, and other δ opioid receptor-mediated conditions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
There are at least three different opioid receptors (μ, δ and κ) that are present in both central and peripheral nervous systems of many species, including humans. Lord, J. A. H., et al., Nature, 1977, 267, 495. Activation of the δ opioid receptors induces analgesia in various animal models. Moulin, et al., Pain, 1985, 23, 213. Some work suggests that the analgesics working at δ opioid receptors do not have the attendant side effects associated with μ and κ opioid receptor activation. Galligan, et al., J. Pharm. Exp. Ther., 1985, 229, 641. The δ opioid receptor has also been identified as having a role in circulatory systems. Ligands for the δ receptor have also been shown to possess immunomodulatory activities. Dondio, et al., Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents, 1997, 10, 1075. Further, selective δ opioid receptor agonists have been shown to promote organ and cell survival. Su, T-P, Journal of Biomedical Science, 2000, 9(3), 195-199. Ligands for the δ opioid receptor may therefore find potential use as analgesics, as antihypertensive agents, as immunomodulatory agents, and/or agents.
Numerous selective δ opioid ligands are peptidic in nature and thus are unsuitable for administration by systemic routes. Several non-peptidic δ opioid receptor ligands have been developed. See, for example, E. J. Bilsky, et al., Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 1995, 273(1), 359-366; WO 93/15062, WO 95/04734, WO 95/31464, WO 96/22276, WO 97/10216, WO 01/46192, WO 02/094794, WO 02/094810, WO 02/094811, WO 02/094812, WO 02/48122, WO 03/029215, WO 03/033486, JP-4275288, EP-A-0,864,559, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,354,863, 6,200,978, 6,436,959 and US 2003/0069241.
While there are a large number of non-peptidic δ opioid receptor modulators, there is still an unfulfilled need for compounds with selective δ opioid receptor activity that may be used in methods to provide beneficial pharmaceutical characteristics while minimizing undesirable side effects. The present invention is directed to these, as well as other important ends.

As used herein, an “*” denotes the presence of a chiral center in a molecule, wherein one stereoisomeric form (R or S) predominates, more preferably is substantially enriched, and even more preferably is enantiomerically pure at a specific center in the molecule, but the absolute configuration at this center has not been conclusively established. This can be expressed, for example in a compound's identification number such as 4*, and indicates that the stereochemical configuration of at least one chiral center of the identified compound has not been established. The specific center is identified within a structure by placing the “*” adjacent the chiral center in question, such as, for example, in the structure below.




In some compounds, several chiral centers may be present. The presence of two asterisks “*” in a single structure indicates that two racemic pairs may be present, but that each pair is diastereomeric relative to the other pair. As such, the first pair of enantiomers having two chiral centers may have the configurations, for example, (R, R) and (S, S). The second pair then have configurations, for example, (R, S) and (S, R). For example, compounds 37A and 37B are diastereomeric with respect to one another, but each is a racemic mixture of its two possible enantiomers. Their absolute stereochemistry has not been conclusively established.
“Ligand” or “modulator” refers to a compound that binds to a receptor to form a complex, and includes, agonists, partial agonists, antagonists and inverse agonists.
“Agonist” refers to a compound that may bind to a receptor to form a complex that may elicit a full pharmacological response, which is typically peculiar to the nature of the receptor involved and which may alter the equilibrium between inactive and active receptor.
“Partial agonist” refers to a compound that may bind to a receptor to form a complex that may elicit only a proportion of the full pharmacological response, typically peculiar to the nature of the receptor involved, even if a high proportion of the receptors are occupied by the compound.
“Antagonist” refers to a compound that may bind to a receptor to form a complex that may not elicit any response, typically in the same manner as an unoccupied receptor, and which preferably does not alter the equilibrium between inactive and active receptor.
“Inverse agonist” refers to a compound that may bind to a receptor to form a complex that may preferentially stabilize the inactive conformation of the receptor.
“Prodrug” refers to compounds specifically designed to maximize the amount of active species that reaches the desired site of reaction that are themselves typically inactive or minimally active for the activity desired, but through biotransformation are converted into biologically active metabolites.
“Stereoisomers” refers to compounds that have identical chemical constitution, but differ as regards the arrangement of the atoms or groups in space.
“N-oxide” refers to compounds wherein the basic nitrogen atom of either a heteroaromatic ring or tertiary amine is oxidized to give a quaternary nitrogen bearing a positive formal charge and an attached oxygen atom bearing a negative formal charge.
“Hydrate” refers to a compound of the present invention which is associated with water in the molecular form, i.e., in which the H—OH bond is not split, and may be represented, for example, by the formula R.H2O, where R is a compound of the invention.

These physiologically acceptable salts are prepared by methods known in the art, e.g., by dissolving the free amine bases with an excess of the acid in aqueous alcohol, or neutralizing a free carboxylic acid with an alkali metal base such as a hydroxide, or with an amine.
Compounds described herein throughout can be used or prepared in alternate forms. For example, many amino-containing compounds can be used or prepared as an acid addition salt. Often such salts improve isolation and handling properties of the compound. For example, depending on the reagents, reaction conditions and the like, compounds as described herein can be used or prepared, for example, as their hydrochloride or tosylate salts. Isomorphic crystalline forms, all chiral and racemic forms, N-oxide, hydrates, solvates, and acid salt hydrates, are also contemplated to be within the scope of the present invention.

or a stereoisomer, prodrug, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, acid salt hydrate, or N-oxide thereof.
Compounds of the invention may be useful as analgesic agents for use during general anesthesia and monitored anesthesia care. Combinations of agents with different properties are often used to achieve a balance of effects needed to maintain the anaesthetic state (e.g., amnesia, analgesia, muscle relaxation and sedation). Included in this combination are inhaled anesthetics, hypnotics, anxiolytics, neuromuscular blockers and opioids.
In any of the above teachings, a compound of the invention may be either a compound of one of the formulae herein described, or a stereoisomer, prodrug, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, acid salt hydrate, N-oxide or isomorphic crystalline form thereof.
The compounds employed in the methods and compositions of the present invention may exist in prodrug form. As used herein, “prodrug” is intended to include any covalently bonded carriers which release the active parent drug, for example, as according to formula I or other formulas or compounds as described herein, in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Since prodrugs are known to enhance numerous desirable qualities of pharmaceuticals (e.g., solubility, bioavailability, manufacturing, etc.), the compounds described herein may, if desired, be delivered in prodrug form. Thus, the present invention contemplates compositions and methods involving prodrugs. Prodrugs of the compounds employed in the present invention, for example formula I, may be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent compound.
Accordingly, prodrugs include, for example, compounds described herein in which a hydroxy, amino, or carboxy group is bonded to any group that, when the prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxyl, free amino, or carboxylic acid, respectively. Examples include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol and amine functional groups; and alkyl, carbocyclic, aryl, and alkylaryl esters such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, iso-propyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, cyclopropyl, phenyl, benzyl, and phenethyl esters, and the like.
Compounds described herein may contain one or more asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms, and may be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. Thus, all chiral, diastereomeric, racemic forms and all geometric isomeric forms of a structure are intended, unless the specific stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically indicated. It is well known in the art how to prepare and isolate such optically active forms. For example, mixtures of stereoisomers may be separated by standard techniques including, but not limited to, resolution of racemic forms, normal, reverse-phase, and chiral chromatography, preferential salt formation, recrystallization, and the like, or by chiral synthesis either from chiral starting materials or by deliberate synthesis of target chiral centers.
The compounds of the present invention may be prepared in a number of ways well known to those skilled in the art. The compounds can be synthesized, for example, by the methods described below, or variations thereon as appreciated by the skilled artisan. All processes disclosed in association with the present invention are contemplated to be practiced on any scale, including milligram, gram, multigram, kilogram, multikilogram or commercial industrial scale.
As will be readily understood, functional groups present may contain protecting groups during the course of synthesis. Protecting groups are known per se as chemical functional groups that can be selectively appended to and removed from functionalities, such as hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups. These groups are present in a chemical compound to render such functionality inert to chemical reaction conditions to which the compound is exposed. Any of a variety of protecting groups may be employed with the present invention. Preferred protecting groups include the benzyloxycarbonyl group and the tert-butyloxycarbonyl group. Other preferred protecting groups that may be employed in accordance with the present invention may be described in Greene, T. W. and Wuts, P. G. M., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis 2d. Ed., Wiley & Sons, 1991, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference, in their entirety.
The δ agonist compounds of the present invention may be administered by any means that results in the contact of the active agent with the agent's site of action in the body of a patient. The compounds may be administered by any conventional means available for use in conjunction with pharmaceuticals, either as individual therapeutic agents or in a combination of therapeutic agents. For example, they may be administered as the sole active agent in a pharmaceutical composition, or they can be used in combination with other therapeutically active ingredients including, for example, opioid analgesic agents. In such combinations, selected compounds of the invention may provide equivalent or even enhanced therapeutic activity such as, for example, pain ameliorization, while providing reduced adverse side effects associated with opioids, such as addiction or pruritus, by lowering the amount of opioid required to achieve a therapeutic effect.
The compounds are preferably combined with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice as described, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 1980), the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference, in their entirety.
In addition to the pharmaceutical carrier, the compounds of formulas I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, and/or XIII may be co-administered with at least one opioid, preferably a μ opioid receptor modulator compound. In certain embodiments, the combination of the compounds of formula I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, and/or XIII with at least one opioid, preferably a μ opioid receptor modulator compound, provides a synergistic analgesic effect. The utility of the instant combination product may be determined by those skilled in the art using established animal models. Suitable opioids include, without limitation, alfentanil, allylprodine, alphaprodine, anileridine, benzyl-morphine, bezitramide, buprenorphine, butorphanol, clonitazene, codeine, cyclazocine, desomorphine, dextromoramide, dezocine, diampromide, diamorphone, dihydrocodeine, dihydromorphine, dimenoxadol, dimepheptanol, dimethylthiambutene, dioaphetylbutyrate, dipipanone, eptazocine, ethoheptazine, ethylmethylthiambutene, ethylmorphine, etonitazene, fentanyl, heroin, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, hydroxypethidine, isomethadone, ketobemidone, levallorphan, levorphanol, levophenacylmorphan, lofentanil, loperamide, meperidine (pethidine), meptazinol, metazocine, methadone, metopon, morphine, myrophine, nalbuphine, narceine, nicomorphine, norlevorphanol, normethadone, nalorphine, normorphine, norpinanone, opium, oxycodone, oxymorphone, papavereturn, pentazocine, phenadoxone, phenomorphan, phanazocine, phenoperidine, piminodine, piritramide, propheptazine, promedol, properidine, propiram, propoxyphene, sulfentanil, tilidine, tramadol, diastereoisomers thereof, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, complexes thereof, and mixtures thereof.
The pain ameliorating and/or opioid combination products of the present compositions may further include one or more other active ingredients that may be conventionally employed in analgesic and/or cough-cold-antitussive combination products. Such conventional ingredients include, for example, aspirin, acetaminophen, phenylpropanolamine, phenylephrine, chlorpheniramine, caffeine, and/or guaifenesin. Typical or conventional ingredients that may be included in the opioid component are described, for example, in the Physicians'Desk Reference, 1999, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, in its entirety.
In addition, the opioid component may further include one or more compounds that may be designed to enhance the analgesic potency of the opioid and/or to reduce analgesic tolerance development. Such compounds include, for example, dextromethorphan or other NMDA antagonists (Mao, M. J. et al., Pain 1996, 67, 361), L-364,718 and other CCK antagonists (Dourish, C. T. et al., Eur J Pharmacol 1988, 147, 469), NOS inhibitors (Bhargava, H. N. et al., Neuropeptides 1996, 30, 219), PKC inhibitors (Bilsky, E. J. et al., J Pharmacol Exp Ther 1996, 277, 484), and dynorphin antagonists or antisera (Nichols, M. L. et al., Pain 1997, 69, 317). The disclosures of each of the foregoing documents are hereby incorporated herein by reference, in their entireties.
Other opioids, optional conventional opioid components, and optional compounds for enhancing the analgesic potency of the opioid and/or for reducing analgesic tolerance development, that may be employed in the methods and compositions of the present invention, in addition to those exemplified above, would be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art, once armed with the teachings of the present disclosure.
Compounds of the present invention can be administered to a mammalian host in a variety of forms adapted to the chosen route of administration, e.g., orally or parenterally. Parenteral administration in this respect includes administration by the following routes: intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, rectal, intraocular, intrasynovial, transepithelial including transdermal, ophthalmic, sublingual and buccal; topically including ophthalmic, dermal, ocular, rectal, and nasal inhalation via insufflation aerosol.
The active compound may be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent or with an assimilable edible carrier, or it may be enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, or it may be compressed into tablets, or it may be incorporated directly with the food of the diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compound may be incorporated with excipient and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like. Such compositions and preparations should preferably contain at least 0.1% of active compound. The percentage of the compositions and preparations may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be, for example, from about 2 to about 6% of the weight of the unit. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is preferably such that a suitable dosage will be obtained. Preferred compositions or preparations according to the present invention may be prepared so that an oral dosage unit form contains from about 0.1 to about 1000 mg of active compound.
The tablets, troches, pills, capsules and the like may also contain one or more of the following: a binder, such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; an excipient, such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent, such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant, such as magnesium stearate; a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin; or a flavoring agent, such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen or cherry flavoring. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets, pills, or capsules may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. A syrup or elixir may contain the active compound, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye and flavoring, such as cherry or orange flavor. Of course, any material used in preparing any dosage unit form is preferably pharmaceutically pure and substantially non-toxic in the amounts employed. In addition, the active compound may be incorporated into sustained-release preparations and formulations.
The active compound may also be administered parenterally or intraperitoneally. Solutions of the active compound as a free base or a pharmacologically acceptable salt can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant, such as hydroxypropylcellulose. A dispersion can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations may contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include, for example, sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form is preferably sterile and fluid to provide easy syringability. It is preferably stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and is preferably preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier may be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycol and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of a dispersion, and by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms may be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions may be achieved by the use of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
Sterile injectable solutions may be prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount, in the appropriate solvent, with various of the other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions may be prepared by incorporating the sterilized active ingredient into a sterile vehicle that contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation may include vacuum drying and the freeze-drying technique that yield a powder of the active ingredient, plus any additional desired ingredient from the previously sterile-filtered solution thereof.
The therapeutic compounds of this invention may be administered to a patient alone or in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. As noted above, the relative proportions of active ingredient and carrier may be determined, for example, by the solubility and chemical nature of the compound, chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.
The dosage of the compounds of the present invention that will be most suitable for prophylaxis or treatment will vary with the form of administration, the particular compound chosen and the physiological characteristics of the particular patient under treatment. Generally, small dosages may be used initially and, if necessary, increased by small increments until the desired effect under the circumstances is reached. The therapeutic human dosage, based on physiological studies using rats, may generally range from about 0.01 mg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day, and all combinations and subcombinations of ranges and specific dosages therein. Alternatively, the therapeutic human dosage may be from about 0.4 mg to about 10 g or higher, and may be administered in several different dosage units from once to several times a day. Generally speaking, oral administration may require higher dosages.
It will be further appreciated that the amount of the compound, or an active salt or derivative thereof, required for use in treatment will vary not only with the particular salt selected but also with the route of administration, the nature of the condition being treated and the age and condition of the patient and will be ultimately at the discretion of the attendant physician or clinician.
The desired dose may conveniently be presented in a single dose or as divided doses administered at appropriate intervals, for example, as two, three, four or more sub-doses per day. The sub-dose itself may be further divided, e.g., into a number of discrete loosely spaced administrations; such as multiple inhalations from an insufflator or by application of a plurality of drops into the eye.
The dose may also be provided by controlled release of the compound, by techniques well known to those in the art.
The compounds of the invention may also be formulated with other optional active ingredients, in addition to or instead of the optional opioids, and in addition to the optional pharmaceutical-acceptable carriers. Other active ingredients include, but are not limited to, antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, anti-inflammatories, including steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, anesthetics and mixtures thereof.

The present invention will now be illustrated by reference to the following specific, non-limiting examples. Those skilled in the art of organic synthesis may be aware of still other synthetic routes to the invention compounds. The reagents and intermediates used herein are commercially available or may be prepared according to standard literature procedures.
Methods Of Preparation
The examples listed in Table 1 were prepared according to Schemes 1-37. The synthesis of compounds 1A-1U is outlined in Scheme 1. The 2′-hydroxyacetophenone derivatives 1.1a-1.1m were condensed with 1-Boc-4-piperidone 1.2 in neat pyrrolidine (method 1A) at room temperature or in refluxing methanol in the presence of pyrrolidine (method 1B) to provide N-Boc-spiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,4′-piperidine]-4(3H)-one derivatives 1.3. Conversion of the ketones 1.3 to the enol triflate derivatives 1.5 was achieved using N-phenylbis(trifluoromethanesulphonimide) 1.4 as triflating reagent. Suzuki type coupling of the enol triflate derivatives 1.5 with either 4-(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)phenyl boronic acid 1.6 (commercially available from Combi-Blocks Inc.) or 2-(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxoborolan-2-yl)pyridine 1.7 in ethylene glycol dimethyl ether in the presence of tetrakis triphenylphosphine palladium (0) (method 1C) or palladium, 10 wt. % (dry basis) on activated carbon (method 1D), lithium chloride, and an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate afforded compounds 1.8 which were converted to the final products (compounds 1A-1T) under acidic conditions (method 1E: anhydrous HCl, diethyl ether, room temperature or method 1F: neat trifluoroacetic acid, room temperature). Demethylation of compound 1G using boron tribromide provided the corresponding phenolic derivative (compound 1U). The boronate derivative 1.7 was prepared in 4 steps from 2,5-dibromopyridine 1.9. Treatment of 2,5-dibromopyridine with n-butyllithium provided the corresponding lithiated derivative, which reacted with carbon dioxide to provide 5-bromopyridine-2-carboxylic acid 1.10. Treatment of the carboxylic acid derivative 1.10 with oxalyl chloride furnished the acyl chloride 1.11, which reacted with diethylamine 1.12 to provide 5-bromo-2-(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)-pyridine 1.13. Conversion of the aryl bromide 1.13 to the corresponding boron derivative 1.7 was achieved using 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1,3,2-dioxaborolane 1.14 and dichloro[1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II) dichloromethane adduct, abbreviated as [Pd(dppf)Cl2.CH2Cl2].

Removal of the silyl protecting group of 2.6 using a solution of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) in tetrahydrofuran gave the phenolic derivatives 2.7 which were converted to the final products compounds 2A and 2B under acidic conditions. Preparation of each of the ether derivatives 2.9 from the phenols 2.7 was achieved by alkylation reaction using the appropriate alkyl bromide (2.8a, 2.8b) (method 2A) or alkyl iodide (2.8c) reagent (method 2C). In some instances, the ether derivatives 2.9 were also obtained from the phenols 2.7 using the Mitsunobu conditions, i.e., condensation of the phenols 2.7 with the appropriate alcohol (2.8d, 2.8e) in the presence of triphenylphosphine and diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) (method 2B). Treatment of the Boc derivatives 2.9 with hydrochloric acid provided the final compounds 2C-F.
The synthesis of compounds 3A-AC is outlined in Scheme 3. Conversion of the phenols 2.7 to the triflate derivatives 3.1 was achieved using the triflating reagent N-phenylbis(trifluoromethanesulphonimide) 1.4.

Condensation of 4.4 with various primary and secondary amines (3.4, 4.5) afforded the sulfonamide derivatives 4.6 which were converted to the compounds 4A-4G under basic conditions. Treatment of the sulfonyl chloride 4.4 with ammonium hydroxide in acetonitrile provided the sulfonamide compound 4H, which was further protected as its tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) derivative 4.8 buy treatment with tert-butyloxycarbonyl anhydride (4.7). Acetylation of 4.8 using acetic anhydride (4.9) gave the acetylsulfonamide derivative 4.10 which was converted to compound 4I by treatment with iodotrimethylsilane.

The synthesis of compounds 6A-6E is described in Scheme 6. Nitration of the trifluoroacetamide 4.2 using nitronium tetrafluoroborate complex (6.1) as nitrating reagent provided predominantly the mono-nitro isomer 6.2. Reduction of the nitro functionality of 6.2 using tin(II) chloride dihydrate (6.3) gave the aniline derivative 6.4, which reacted with the sulfonyl chloride derivatives 6.5 or with acetyl chloride (6.7) to provide the sulfonamides 6.6 or the acetamide 6.8, respectively.

Treatment of 7.3 with methanesulfonyl chloride (7.4) in dichloromethane in the presence of triethylamine provided the bis-methanesulfonamide 7.5, which was hydrolyzed to the mono methanesulfonamide derivative 7.6 under basic conditions. Deprotection of the tert-butyloxycarbonyl protecting group of 7.6 under acidic conditions provided the final compound 7A. Compound 7B was obtained in two steps from 7.6.

During the course of this reaction, the N-methyl piperidine derivative compound 7C was identified as a side product. The separation of the mixture containing compounds 7A and 7C was achieved by first treating the mixture of compounds 7A/7C with tert-butyloxycarbonyl anhydride (4.7) which provided the Boc derivative 7.6 and unreacted compound 7C, followed by purification of compound 7C using flash column chromatography.

Coupling of 5-bromothiophene-2-sulfonyl chloride (34.5) with diethylamine (1.12) in acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine provided the sulfonamide 34.1e. Coupling of the commercially available carboxylic acid derivatives 34.8a-34.8f and 34.9 with diethylamine (1.12) using O-benzotriazol-1-yl-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU) as coupling agent afforded the corresponding diethylaminocarbonyl derivatives 34.1j-34.1o and 34.1p.
The synthesis of compounds 35A and 35B is outlined in Scheme 35. Iodination of 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (35.1) afforded 3-hydroxy-4-iodobenzoic acid (35.2), which was converted to the methyl ester 35.3 under standard esterification conditions. Alkylation of the phenolic derivative 35.3 with methyl iodide (2.8c) in acetone in the presence of potassium carbonate afforded the methyl ether 35.4, which was converted to the carboxylic acid 35.5 in the presence of lithium hydroxide. Coupling of the carboxylic acid derivatives 35.5 with diethylamine (1.12) using O-benzotriazol-1-yl-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU) as coupling agent afforded the corresponding diethylaminocarbonyl derivative 35.6. Demethylation of 35.6 using boron tribromide afforded the phenolic derivative 35.7 which was converted to the methyloxymethyl (MOM) ether derivative 35.8 using chloro(methoxy)methane 11.3. Suzuki type coupling of the boronate derivative 32.1 with 35.6 in ethylene glycol dimethyl ether in the presence of tetrakis triphenylphosphine palladium (0), lithium chloride, and an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate afforded compound 35.9 which was converted to the final product compound 35A under acidic conditions.

Biological Methods
In Vitro Assays
The potencies of the compounds listed in Table 1 were determined by testing the ability of a range of concentrations of each compound to inhibit the binding of the non-selective opioid antagonist, [3H]diprenorphine, to the cloned human μ, κ, and δ opioid receptors, expressed in separate cell lines. IC50 values were obtained by nonlinear analysis of the data using GraphPad Prism version 3.00 for Windows (GraphPad Software, San Diego). Ki values were obtained by Cheng-Prusoff corrections of IC50 values.
Receptor Binding
The receptor binding method (DeHaven and DeHaven-Hudkins, 1998) was a modification of the method of Raynor et al. (1994). After dilution in buffer A and homogenization as before, membrane proteins (10-80 μg) in 250 μL were added to mixtures containing test compound and [3H]diprenorphine (0.5 to 1.0 nM, 40,000 to 50,000 dpm) in 250 μL of buffer A in 96-well deep-well polystyrene titer plates (Beckman). After incubation at room temperature for one hour, the samples were filtered through GF/B filters that had been presoaked in a solution of 0.5% (w/v) polyethylenimine and 0.1% (w/v) bovine serum albumin in water. The filters were rinsed 4 times with 1 mL of cold 50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.8 and radioactivity remaining on the filters determined by scintillation spectroscopy. Nonspecific binding was determined by the minimum values of the titration curves and was confirmed by separate assay wells containing 10 μM naloxone. Ki values were determined by Cheng-Prusoff corrections of IC50 values derived from nonlinear regression fits of 12 point titration curves using GraphPad Prism® version 3.00 for Windows (GraphPad Software, San Diego, Calif.).
To determine the equilibrium dissociation constant for the inhibitors (Ki), radioligand bound (cpm) in the presence of various concentrations of test compounds was measured. The concentration to give half-maximal inhibition (EC50) of radioligand binding was determined from a best nonlinear regression fit to the following equation,

where Y is the amount of radioligand bound at each concentration of test compound, Bottom is the calculated amount of radioligand bound in the presence of an infinite concentration of test compound, Top is the calculated amount of radioligand bound in the absence of test compound, X is the logarithm of the concentration of test compound, and LogEC50 is the log of the concentration of test compound where the amount of radioligand bound is half-way between Top and Bottom. The nonlinear regression fit was performed using the program Prism® (GraphPad Software, San Diego, Calif.). The Ki values were then determined from the EC50 values by the following equation,

where [ligand] is the concentration of radioligand and Kd is the equilibrium dissociation constant for the radioligand.

Receptor-Mediated [35S]GTPγS Binding
The potency and efficacy of compounds at each of the receptors are assessed by modifications of the methods of Selley et al., 1997 and Traynor and Nahorski, 1995 using receptor-mediated [35S]GTP□S binding in the same membrane preparations used to measure receptor binding. Assays are carried out in 96-well FlashPlates® (Perkin Elmer Life Sciences, Inc, Boston, Mass.). Membranes prepared from CHO cells expressing the appropriate receptor (50-100 μg of protein) are added to assay mixtures containing agonist with or without antagonists, 100 pM [35S]GTPγS (approx. 100,000 dpm), 3.0 μM GDP, 75 mM NaCl, 15 mM MgCl2, 1.0 mM ethylene glycol-bis(β-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetracetic acid, 1.1 mM dithiothreitol, 10 μg/mL leupeptin, 10 μg/mL pepstatin A, 200 μg/mL bacitracin, and 0.5 μg/mL aprotinin in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.8. After incubation at room temperature for one hour, the plates are sealed, centrifuged at 800×g in a swinging bucket rotor for 5 min and bound radioactivity determined with a TopCount microplate scintillation counter (Packard Instrument Co., Meriden, Conn.).
EC50 values for agonists are determined from nonlinear regression fits of 8- or 12-point titration curves to the 4-parameter equation for a sigmoidal dose-response with a slope factor of 1.0 using GraphPad Prism® version 3.00 for Windows (GraphPad Software, San Diego, Calif.).
The potencies of the compounds were determined by testing the ability of a range of concentrations of each compound to inhibit the binding of the non-selective opioid antagonist, [3H]diprenorphine, to the cloned human μ, κ, and δ opioid receptors, expressed in separate cell lines. All the compounds tested (compounds included in Table 1) bind with affinity to the human cloned δ opioid receptor less than 2 μM (Ki values). These compounds display high selectivity δ/κ and δ/μ (at least 10-fold). The potencies of the agonists were assessed by their abilities to stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding to membranes containing the cloned human δ opioid receptors. All the compounds listed in Table 1 were agonists at the δ opioid receptor.
As example, 1A (Table 1) binds to the delta, mu, and kappa opioid receptors with affinity (expressed as Ki value) of 0.93 nM, 980 nM and >1000 nM, respectively). Furthermore, 1A displayed potent in vitro agonist activity (EC50=9.1 nM).
In Vivo Assays
Freunds Complete Adjuvant (FCA)-Induced Hyperalgesia
Rats were injected intraplantar with FCA and 24 h later treated with tested compounds administered orally. Paw Pressure Thresholds (PPT) was assessed 30, 60, 120, and 240 minutes after drug treatment. 1A significantly increased PPT by 170-180% in the inflamed paw 1-2 h after oral administration (ED50=2.5 mg/kg p.o.). 1A produced a similar increase in PPT in the uninflamed paw at the 2 h time point, a change that is generally associated with effects mediated within the central nervous system.
Acetic Acid-Induced Writhing
Male ICR mice weighing 20-25 g are injected s.c. with either vehicle or test compound 15 min before they are injected intraperitoneally with 0.6% acetic acid. At 5 minutes after treatment with acetic acid, the number of writhes is counted for 10 minutes. Dose response curves are expressed as the percent inhibition of acetic acid induced writhing, when compared to the mean number of writhes observed in the vehicle-treated mice. The mean percent inhibition (% I) of acetic acid-induced writhing for drug-treated mice is calculated according to the following formula:

Castor Oil-Induced Diarrhea
Mice were fasted overnight with water ad libitum. Mice were weighed, dosed orally with 0.6 mL of castor oil and placed in individual cubicles (11 cm×10 cm) lined with a pre-weighed sheet of absorbent paper. Thirty min after receiving castor oil, mice were injected s.c with tested compound. Seventy-five min after dosing with castor oil, the mice and absorbent paper were reweighed and the number of mice with diarrhea (defined as wet, unformed stool) was determined.

Forced Swim Assay
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (approximately 200 g) are placed in a tank of room temperature water for a fifteen min practice swim. Every five sec during the first five min of the practice swim, the rats are rated as immobile (floating with motion needed to keep head above the water), swimming (movement across the swim), or climbing (actively trying to climb out of the tank of water, upward directed movements of the forepaws). The percentage of time the rats spent in each of these responses is calculated.
Approximately 24 h after the practice swim, the rats are treated with vehicle or test compound and placed in the tank for a 5 min swim. As was the case with the practice swim, the rats are rated as immobile, swimming, or climbing during the test swim and the percentage of time spent in each of these responses is calculated. The data is analyzed by one-way ANOVA with post-hoc analysis to compare the behavioral response after vehicle treatment to the behavioral response after drug treatment for each of the three behavioral responses. The level of significance is set at p<0.05.

To an oven-dried 2-necked 500 mL flask charged with anhydrous toluene (90 mL) at −78° C. was added n-butyl lithium (2.5 M solution in hexane, 40 mL, 0.1 mol, 1.0 eq). A solution of 2,5-dibromo-pyridine (1.9) (23.69 g, 0.1 mol, 1.0 eq) in anhydrous toluene (50 mL) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 h and then poured onto freshly crushed dry-ice ( ̃500 g). The dry-ice mixture was then left at room temperature for 10 h. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in water. The insoluble solids were filtered and the filtrate was acidified to pH 2, at which point a light brown solid precipitated out. The solids were collected by filtration and recrystallized from acetic acid (500 mL). This provided 1.10 isolated as its acetic acid salt.

METHODS OF PREPARATION FOR FINAL COMPOUNDS FOUND IN EXAMPLES Z1-Z14
The compounds prepared in Examples Z1-Z14 and depicted in Table Z1 were prepared according to the Schemes Z1-Z6. The preparation of spiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,4′-piperidine] derivatives 15 (Example Z1), 16 (Example Z2) and 18 (Example Z3) is outlined in Scheme Z1. The 2′-hydroxyacetophenone derivatives 1, 2 and 3 (commercially available from Aldrich Chemical Company) were condensed with 1-Boc-4-piperidone 4 in methanol in the presence of pyrrolidine to provide N-Boc-spiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,4′-piperidine]-4(3H)-one derivatives 5-7 respectively. Compounds 12-14 were prepared by conversion of the ketones 5-7 to the enol triflate derivatives 8-10 and subsequent Suzuki coupling reaction with 4-(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)phenylboronic acid 11. The Boc protecting groups of 12-14 were subsequently removed using trifluoroacetic acid to generate the corresponding spiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,4′-piperidine] derivatives 15 (Example Z1), 16 (Example Z2) and 17. Demethylation of the methyl ether 17 using boron tribromide in anhydrous dichloromethane afforded the phenolic derivative 18 (Example Z3). Hydrogenation of 15 in methanol in the presence of palladium hydroxide (Pearlman's catalyst) afforded the 3,4-dihydrospiro[2H,1-benzopyran-2,4′-piperidine] derivative 19 (Example Z4) (Scheme Z2). Treatment of 15 with formaldehyde in the presence of sodium cyanoborohydride gave the N-methyl derivative 20 (Example Z5) (Scheme Z2).







The compounds prepared in Examples Z6-Z9 were prepared according to Scheme Z3. Suzuki type coupling of the enol triflate derivative 8 (Scheme Z1) with 4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenylboronic acid 21 in dimethoxyether in the presence of tetrakis triphenylphosphine, lithium chloride and an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate afforded the methyl ester 22 which was hydrolyzed under basic conditions to provide the carboxylic acid derivative 23. Coupling of the carboxylic acid 23 with primary amine (2) or secondary amine derivatives (25-7) using TBTU as peptide coupling agent afforded the amides 28-31 which were converted to the spiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,4′-piperidine] derivatives 32-34 (Examples Z6-Z8) and 35 under acidic conditions. Hydrolysis of the ethyl ester 35 in the presence of sodium hydroxide afforded the carboxylic acid 36 (Example Z9).




Suzuki type coupling of the enol triflate derivative 8 (Scheme Z1) with 4-cyanophenylboronic acid 37 in dimethoxyether in the presence of tetrakis triphenylphosphine palladium (0), lithium chloride and an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate afforded the cyanide 38 which was converted to the tetrazole 39 using sodium azide and zinc bromide in a 1:1 solution of isopropanol/water (Scheme Z4). The Boc protecting group of 39 was subsequently removed using trifluoroacetic acid to generate the corresponding spiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,4′-piperidine]derivative 40 (Example Z10). Alkylation of 39 with ethyl bromopropionate in dimethylformamide in the presence of triethylamine afforded the two regioisomers 42 (minor isomer) and 43 (major isomer) separated by silica gel column chromatography. The Boc protecting group of 43 was subsequently removed using trifluoroacetic acid to generate the corresponding spiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,4′-piperidine] derivative 44.

Biological Activity

The potencies of the final compounds found in Examples Z1-Z14 and listed in Table Z1 were determined by testing the ability of a range of concentrations of each compound to inhibit the binding of the non-selective opioid antagonist, [3H]diprenorphine, to the cloned human μ, κ and δ opioid receptors, expressed in separate cell lines. IC50 values were obtained by nonlinear analysis of the data using GraphPad Prism version 3.00 for Windows (GraphPad Software, San Diego). K; values were obtained by Cheng-Prusoff corrections of IC50 values.
Receptor Binding
The receptor binding method (DeHaven and DeHaven-Hudkins, 1998) was a modification of the method of Raynor et al. (1994). After dilution in buffer A and homogenization as before, membrane proteins (10-80 μg) in 250 μL were added to mixtures containing test compound and [3H]diprenorphine (0.5 to 1.0 nM, 40,000 to 50,000 dpm) in 250 μL of buffer A in 96-well deep-well polystyrene titer plates (Beckman). After incubation at room temperature for one hour, the samples were filtered through GF/B filters that had been presoaked in a solution of 0.5% (w/v) polyethylenimine and 0.1% (w/v) bovine serum albumin in water. The filters were rinsed 4 times with 1 mL of cold 50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.8 and radioactivity remaining on the filters determined by scintillation spectroscopy. Nonspecific binding was determined by the minimum values of the titration curves and was confirmed by separate assay wells containing 10 μM naloxone. Ki values were determined by Cheng-Prusoff corrections of IC50 values derived from nonlinear regression fits of 12 point titration curves using GraphPad Prism® version 3.00 for Windows (GraphPad Software, San Diego, Calif.).
To determine the equilibrium dissociation constant for the inhibitors (Ki), radioligand bound (cpm) in the presence of various concentrations of test compounds was measured. The concentration to give half-maximal inhibition (EC50) of radioligand binding was determined from a best nonlinear regression fit to the following equation,

Receptor-Mediated [35S]GTPγS Binding

The potency and efficacy of compounds at each of the receptors are assessed by modifications of the methods of Selley et al., 1997 and Traynor and Nahorski, 1995 using receptor-mediated [35S]GTPγS binding in the same membrane preparations used to measure receptor binding. Assays are carried out in 96-well FlashPlates® (Perkin Elmer Life Sciences, Inc, Boston, Mass.). Membranes prepared from CHO cells expressing the appropriate receptor (50-100 μg of protein) are added to assay mixtures containing agonist with or without antagonists, 100 pM [35S]GTP□S (approx. 100,000 dpm), 3.0 μM GDP, 75 mM NaCl, 15 mM MgCl2, 1.0 mM ethylene glycol-bis(β-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetracetic acid, 1.1 mM dithiothreitol, 10 μg/mL leupeptin, 10 μg/mL pepstatin A, 200 μg/mL bacitracin, and 0.5 μg/mL aprotinin in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.8. After incubation at room temperature for one hour, the plates are sealed, centrifuged at 800×g in a swinging bucket rotor for 5 min and bound radioactivity determined with a TopCount microplate scintillation counter (Packard Instrument Co., Meriden, Conn.).
EC50 values for agonists are determined from nonlinear regression fits of 8- or 12-point titration curves to the 4-parameter equation for a sigmoidal dose-response with a slope factor of 1.0 using GraphPad Prism® version 3.00 for Windows (GraphPad Software, San Diego, Calif.).
To determine IC50 values, the concentrations to give half-maximal inhibition of agonist-stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding, the amount of [35S]GTPγS bound in the presence of a fixed concentration of agonist and various concentrations of antagonist was measured. The fixed concentration of agonist was the EC80, the concentration to give 80% of the relative maximum stimulation of [35S]GTPγS binding. The agonists loperamide (100 nM), U50,488 (50 nM), and BW373U86 (2.0 nM) were used to stimulate [35S]GTPγS binding via the μ, κ, and δ opioid receptors, respectively. The IC50 value was determined from a best nonlinear regression fit of the data to the 4-parameter equation for a sigmoidal dose-response with a slope factor of 1.0 using GraphPad Prism® version 3.00 for Windows.
In Vivo Assays
Castor Oil-Induced Diarrhea
Mice were fasted overnight with water ad libitum. Mice were weighed, dosed orally with 0.6 mL of castor oil and placed in individual cubicles (11 cm×10 cm) lined with a pre-weighed sheet of absorbent paper. Thirty min after receiving castor oil, mice were injected s.c with tested compound. Seventy-five min after dosing with castor oil, the mice and absorbent paper were reweighed and the number of mice with diarrhea (defined as wet, unformed stool) was determined.
Percent inhibition by tested compounds in castor oil-induced diarrhea assay was determined by the following formula:

Example Z1 reduced incidence of diarrhea in a time-dependent manner: ED50 (s.c.)=8.7 mg/kg.
Freunds Complete Adjuvant (FCA)-Induced Hyperalgesia
Rats were injected intraplantar with FCA and 24 h later treated with tested compounds administered orally. Paw Pressure Thresholds (PPT) was assessed 30, 60, 120, and 240 minutes after drug treatment. Example Z1 significantly increased PPT by 170-180% in the inflamed paw 1-2 h after oral administration (ED50=2.5 mg/kg p.o.). Example Z1 produced a similar increase in PPT in the uninflamed paw at the 2 h time point, a change that is generally associated with effects mediated within the central nervous system.
Acetic Acid-Induced Writhing
Male ICR mice weighing 20-25 g are injected s.c. with either vehicle or test compound 15 minutes before they are injected intraperitoneally with 0.6% acetic acid. At 5 minutes after treatment with acetic acid, the number of writhes is counted for 10 minutes. Dose response curves are expressed as the percent inhibition of acetic acid induced writhing, when compared to the mean number of writhes observed in the vehicle-treated mice. The mean percent inhibition (% I) of acetic acid-induced writhing for drug-treated mice is calculated according to the following formula:

Results and Discussions
The potencies of the compounds were determined by testing the ability of a range of concentrations of each compound to inhibit the binding of the non-selective opioid antagonist, [3H]diprenorphine, to the cloned human μ, κ, and δ opioid receptors, expressed in separate cell lines. All the compounds tested (Examples Z1-Z14, Table Z2) bind with high affinity to the human cloned δ opioid receptor. These compounds display high selectivity δ/κ and δ/μ. The potencies of the ligands were assessed by their abilities to stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding to membranes containing the cloned human δ opioid receptors. All the compounds tested were agonists at δ opioid receptor with EC50 values in the nanomolar range (Table Z2).
