METHODS OF PREPARATION
The invention further relates to a process for preparing the compounds of general formula I wherein the substituents A, U, V, X, Y, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore.
Some methods of preparing the novel compounds of general formula I




wherein A, U, V, X, Y, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore, are shown in the following synthesis schemes and Examples.

In some cases the order of carrying out the reaction schemes may be varied in order to simplify the reactions or prevent unwanted by-products. The Examples that follow are provided to make the invention fully comprehensible. The Examples are intended to illustrate the invention and should in no way restrict it.
The compounds according to the invention may be prepared according to the schemes and specific examples provided or corresponding modifications thereof. Modifications to these reactions which are known to the skilled man but not described in detail here may also be implemented. The general methods of preparing the compounds according to the invention will become apparent to the skilled man from a study of the following schemes.
Starting compounds are commercially available or are prepared by processes which are described in the literature, known in the art or as described herein. Before the reaction is carried out corresponding functional groups in the compounds may be protected by conventional protective groups. These protective groups may be cleaved again at a suitable stage within the reaction sequence using methods familiar to the skilled man.
In the reactions described below, any reactive groups present such as hydroxy, carboxy, amino, alkylamino, amide or imino groups may be protected during the reaction by conventional protective groups that are cleaved again after the reaction.
For example


    
    
        a suitable protective group for a hydroxy group may be the methoxy-, benzyloxy-, trimethylsilyl-, acetyl-, benzoyl-, tert.-butyl-, trityl, benzyl- or tetrahydropyranyl group,
        suitable protective groups for a carboxyl group may be the trimethylsilyl-, methyl-, ethyl-, tert.-butyl-, benzyl- or tetrahydropyranyl group, and
        suitable protective groups for an amide group may be the N-methoxymethyl-(MOM), N-benzyloxymethyl-(BOM), N-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl (SEM), N-tert-butyldimethylsiloxymethyl-, N-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-(TBDMS), N-triisopropylsilyl-(TIPS), N-benzyl-, N-4-methoxybenzyl-(PMB), N-triphenylmethyl-(Trt), N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-(BOC), N-benzyloxycarbonyl-(Cbz) or N-trimethylsilylethylsulphonyl-(SES)
        a suitable protective group for an amino-, alkylamino- or imino group may be the acetyl-, trifluoroacetyl-, benzoyl-, ethoxycarbonyl-, tert.-butoxycarbonyl-, benzyloxycarbonyl-, benzyl-, methoxybenzyl- or 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group and additionally, for the amino-group, the phthalyl group.
    
    


Other protective groups and their cleavage are described in T. W. Greene, P. G. M. Wuts, “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, Wiley, 1991 and 1999.
Any protecting group used is optionally subsequently cleaved for example by hydrolysis in an aqueous solvent, e.g. in water, isopropanol/water, tetrahydrofuran/water or dioxane/water, in the presence of an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid or in the presence of an alkali metal base such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, or by ether splitting, e.g. in the presence of iodotrimethylsilane, at temperatures between 0 and 100° C., preferably at temperatures between 10 and 50° C.
However, a benzyl-, methoxybenzyl- or benzyloxycarbonyl group is cleaved, for example, hydrogenolytically, e.g. with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/charcoal in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, dimethylformamide, dimethylformamide/acetone or glacial acetic acid, optionally with the addition of an acid such as hydrochloric acid at temperatures between 0 and 50° C., but preferably at ambient temperature, and at a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 7 bar, but preferably 1 to 5 bar.
A methoxybenzyl group may also be cleaved in the presence of an oxidising agent such as cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate in a solvent such as methylene chloride, acetonitrile or acetonitrile/water at temperatures of between 0 and 50° C., but preferably at ambient temperature.
A methoxy group is conveniently cleaved in the presence of boron tribromide in a solvent such as methylene chloride at temperatures between −35 and −25° C.
A 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group is preferably cleaved in trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of anisole.
A tert.butyl or tert.butyloxycarbonyl group is preferably cleaved by treating with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid, optionally using a solvent such as methylene chloride, dioxane or ether.
A phthalyl group is preferably cleaved in the presence of hydrazine or a primary amine such as methylamine, ethylamine or n-butylamine in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, toluene/water or dioxane at temperatures between 20 and 50° C.
A methoxymethyl group may be cleaved in the presence of an acid such as concentrated hydrochloric acid in a solvent such as dimethoxyethane. Alternatively an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid may also be used without a solvent.
An N-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl group may be cleaved in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride and 1,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidone. Alternatively the SEM protective group may also be cleaved with an acid such as hydrogen chloride in an organic solvent such as dioxane or ethanol.
An allyloxycarbonyl group is cleaved by treating with a catalytic amount of tetrakis-(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(0), preferably in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran and preferably in the presence of an excess of a base such as morpholine at temperatures between 0 and 100° C., preferably at ambient temperature and under an inert gas, or by treating with a catalytic amount of tris-(triphenylphosphine)-rhodium(I) chloride in a solvent such as aqueous ethanol and optionally in the presence of a base such as 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane at temperatures between 20 and 70° C.
The following methods of preparing the compounds of general formula I according to the invention and their precursors have proved particularly suitable:




A compound of general formula (1-3), wherein A, U, V, X, Y, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore, may be prepared by reacting an amino or aniline of general formula (1-1), wherein R1 and R2 are as hereinbefore defined, with an electron-depleted compound of general formula (1-2), wherein U, V, X, Y, A and R3 are as hereinbefore defined and LG denotes a leaving group. The leaving group LG used may be halides, preferably chlorides and bromides, —SO2CH3, —OSO2CH3, —OSO2C6H4—CH3 or —S—CH3 (—S—CH3 requires further reaction with an organic peroxide in order to be converted into the actual leaving group) etc., but is not restricted to these. It is most particularly preferred to use chlorides.
The reaction may be carried out by nucleophilic aromatic substitution in an inert solvent using an auxiliary base in a temperature range from 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Nucleophilic aromatic substitutions are carried out in a suitable inert solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, toluene, xylene, dialkylformamide (particularly preferably dimethylformamide), cyclic amides (particularly preferably N-methylpyrrolidone), 1,4-dioxane, acetonitrile or in mixtures of solvents. Suitable auxiliary bases that may be used are tertiary amines such as triethylamine or ethyldiisopropylamine, alkali metal carbonates such as potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate, sodium hydride (NaH) or lithium diisopropylamide (LDA). The solvent used must be compatible with the base used. Preferably, the reaction is carried out in dimethylformamide, at temperatures between ambient temperature and the reflux temperature of the solvent, in the presence of a tertiary amine base.
Alternatively structures of general formula (1-3), wherein A, U, V, X, Y, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore, may be synthesised by transition metal-catalysed reactions. An amine or aniline of general formula (1-1), wherein R1 and R2 are as hereinbefore defined, may react with a compound of general formula (1-2), wherein A, U, V, X, Y, and R3 are as hereinbefore defined and LG denotes a leaving group, in an inert solvent in the presence of a catalyst and an auxiliary base. Additionally a suitable ligand may be used for the catalyst. The leaving group LG used may be chlorides, bromides, iodides, trifluoroacetates, trifluoromethanesulphonates, methanesulphonates and toluenesulphonates, but is not restricted to these. The inert solvents used may be xylene, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, dimethoxyethane, toluene, benzene, tert-butanol, 1,4-dioxane, acetonitrile or mixtures of solvents. The preferred solvent is xylene. Suitable bases are particularly amine bases such as e.g. triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine or also inorganic bases such as caesium carbonate, caesium acetate, potassium carbonate, potassium-tert-butoxide, sodium carbonate, sodium-tert-butoxide or potassium phosphate. Preferred reaction temperatures are from RT to the reflux temperature of the solvent at normal pressure. Typical catalysts are e.g. transition metal catalysts, such as e.g. palladium catalysts of the tris(dibenzylideneacetone)-dipalladium(0), tetrakis-(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(0), palladium-(II)-acetate, Pd(PPh3)2Cl2, Pd(CH3CN)2Cl2, Pd(dppf)Cl2 or palladium(II)-chloride type. Typical ligands are e.g. triphenylphosphine, triphenylarsene, 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (BINAP), 2-di-tert-butylphosphino-2′,4′,6′-triisopropylbiphenyl (XPhos), 4,5-bis-diphenylphosphanyl-9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene (XantPhos), or 2-(di-tert-butylphosphino)biphenyl.




A compound of general formula (2-3), wherein U, V, X, Y, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore and A denotes a sulphur or oxygen atom or the group —NH—, may—as shown in Scheme 2—be prepared by coupling a nucleophilic compound of general formula (2-2), wherein A denotes a sulphur, nitrogen or oxygen atom and R3 is as hereinbefore defined, with a compound of general formula (2-1), wherein U, V, X, Y, R1 and R2 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore and LG denotes a leaving group. The leaving group LG used may be halides such as e.g. chlorides, bromides and fluorides, —SO2CH3, —OSO2CH3, —NO2, —OSO2C6H4—CH3 or —S—CH3 (—S—CH3 requires further reaction with an organic peroxide in order to be converted into the actual leaving group) etc., but is not restricted to these. It is most particularly preferred to use chlorides as the leaving group LG.
The reaction may be carried out by nucleophilic aromatic substitution in an inert solvent using an auxiliary base in a temperature range from 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Nucleophilic aromatic substitutions are carried out in a suitable inert solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, toluene, xylene, dialkylformamide (particularly preferably dimethylformamide), cyclic amides (particularly preferably N-methylpyrrolidone), 1,4-dioxane, acetonitrile or in mixtures of solvents. Suitable auxiliary bases that may be used are for example tertiary amines such as triethylamine or ethyldiisopropylamine, alkoxides of the alkali and alkaline earth metals such as sodium-tert.-butoxide or potassium-tert.-butoxide, alkali metal carbonates such as potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate, sodium hydride (NaH) or lithium diisopropylamide (LDA). The inert solvent used must be compatible with the base used. Preferably, the reaction is carried out in N-methylpyrrolidone at temperatures between ambient temperature and the reflux temperature of the solvent in the presence of potassium-tert-butoxide.
Alternatively structures of general formula (2-3), wherein U, V, X, Y, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore and A denotes a sulphur or oxygen atom or the group —N—H—, are synthesised by transition metal-catalysed reactions by known methods (cf. for example Alex R. Muci and Stephen L. Buchwald, Topics in Current Chemistry 2002, 219, 133-209.). A nucleophilic compound of general formula (2-2), wherein A denotes a sulphur, nitrogen or oxygen atom and R3 is as hereinbefore defined, may react with a compound of general formula (2-1), wherein U, V, X, Y, R1 and R3 are as hereinbefore defined and LG denotes a leaving group, in an inert solvent in the presence of a catalyst and an auxiliary base. Additionally a suitable ligand may be used for the catalyst. The leaving group LG used may be a chloride, bromide, iodide, trifluoroacetate, trifluoromethanesulphonate, methanesulphonate or toluenesulphonate, but is not restricted to these.
The reaction is carried out in a suitable mixture of solvents that has sufficient dissolving capability for all the reactants involved, while heterogeneous procedures are also possible (e.g. the use of virtually insoluble bases). Preferably the reaction is carried out in polar aprotic or protic solvents. Preferably, a solvent or mixtures of a number of solvents, selected from among tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, isopropanol, tert.-butanol, toluene or xylene, is or are used.
Suitable auxiliary bases are for example hydroxides, alkoxides and fluorides of alkali and alkaline earth metals, carbonates, hydrogen carbonates and phosphates of the alkali metals and the mixtures thereof. Particularly suitable are the bases in the group potassium phosphate, sodium phosphate, potassium-tert.-butoxide, sodium-tert.-butoxide, caesium-tert.-butoxide, lithium-tert.-butoxide and the corresponding isopropoxides. The base is normally used in at least equimolar amounts based on the compound (2-2), while preferably 1.2 to 3 equivalents of base are used.
The reaction may be carried out at temperatures between RT and the boiling point of the solvents used at the pressure used. To achieve a faster reaction, it is preferable to carry out the reaction at elevated temperatures in the range from 0° C. to 240° C. Particularly preferred is the temperature range from RT to 200° C., particularly from 50 to 150° C. The concentration of the reactants may be varied within wide limits. The reaction is expediently carried out in the highest possible concentration, while the solubilities of the reaction partners and reagents in the particular reaction medium must be taken into account.
Typical catalysts are e.g. transition metal catalysts, such as e.g. palladium catalysts of the tris(dibenzylideneacetone)-dipalladium(0), tetrakis-(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(0), palladium-(II)-acetate, Pd(PPh3)2Cl2, Pd(CH3CN)2Cl2, Pd(dppf)Cl2, palladium(II)-chloride or copper(I)-trifluoromethanesulphonate type (cf. J. F. Marcoux, S. Doye, S. L. Buchwald J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 10539-10540). Typical ligands for palladium-catalysed couplings include e.g. triphenylphosphine, triphenylarsene, BINAP, XPhos, XantPhos, or 2-(di-tert-butylphosphino)biphenyl (cf. e.g. Angew. Chemie. Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 4321-4326). The choice of catalyst and ligand must be matched in each case to the electronic and steric properties of the two reaction partners.




A compound of general formula (3-3), wherein U, V, X, Y, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore and A denotes a sulphur or oxygen atom or the group —N—H—, may—as shown in Scheme 3—be prepared by coupling a compound of general formula (3-2), wherein R3 is as hereinbefore defined and LG denotes a leaving group, with a compound of general formula (3-1), wherein U, V, X, Y, R1 and R2 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore and A denotes a sulphur or oxygen atom or the group —N—H—. The leaving group LG may be a halide, preferably a bromide or iodide, —SO2CF3 etc., but is not restricted to these.
The reaction is carried out in an inert solvent using an auxiliary base in a temperature range from 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Suitable solvents include e.g. tetrahydrofuran, toluene, xylene, dialkylformamide (particularly preferably dimethylformamide), cyclic amides (particularly preferably N-methylpyrrolidone), 1,4-dioxane, acetonitrile or mixtures of these solvents. Suitable auxiliary bases that may be used are tertiary amines such as triethylamine or ethyldiisopropylamine, alkali metal carbonates such as potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate, sodium hydride (NaH) or lithium diisopropylamide (LDA). The inert solvent used must be compatible with the base used. Preferably, the reaction is carried out in dimethylformamide, at temperatures between ambient temperature and the reflux temperature of the solvent, in the presence of a tertiary amine base.
If A is an oxygen atom, the hydroxy group may be converted into a good leaving group. This may be done by using a phosphine reagent (which may also be bound to solid phases) such as e.g. triphenylphosphine, trimethylphosphine, triisopropylphosphite or tributyl-phosphine combined with an azodicarboxylate such as e.g. diethyl-azodicarboxylate (DEAD), diisopropylazodicarboxylate (DIAD), di-tert-butylazodi-carboxylate (DBAD), N,N,N′,N′-tetraisopropylazodicarboxylamide (TIPA), 1,1′-(azodi-carbonyl)-dipiperidine (ADDP) or N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylazodicarboxylamide (TMAD). Similarly fluorinated variants of the phosphine reagent and the azo compound may be used (for an Abstract see Chem. Asian J. 2007, Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2004, 2763-2772.). It is possible to use a phosphine ylide, such as e.g. (cyanomethylene)-trimethylphosphine (CMMP) or (cyanomethylene)-tributylphosphine (CMBP) (Tetrahedron Lett. 1996, 37, 2459-2462.). This reaction may particularly conveniently be carried out using polar, aprotic solvents such as e.g. tetrahydrofuran, toluene, xylene, benzene, 1,4-dioxane, dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, dichloroethane or mixtures of solvents, but it is also possible to work without solvents. The reaction is usually carried out at a temperature range from 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent, or, if it is carried out without a solvent, in a temperature range from RT to the reflux temperature of the azo compound.
Alternatively structures of general formula (32-3), wherein A, U, V, X, Y, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore are synthesised by transition metal-catalysed reactions by known methods. A compound of general formula (3-2), wherein R3 is as hereinbefore defined and LG denotes a leaving group, may react with a compound of general formula (3-1), wherein R1 and R2 are as hereinbefore defined, in an inert solvent in the presence of a catalyst and an auxiliary base.




A compound of general formula (4-3), wherein U, V, X, Y, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore and A denotes an oxygen atom or the group —N—H—, may be prepared—as shown in Scheme 4—by coupling a boric acid (4-2) with a compound of general formula (4-1), wherein U, V, X, Y, R1 and R2 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore and A denotes an oxygen atom or the group —NH—, with the addition of a copper (II) catalyst and an auxiliary base (cf. e.g. D. M. T. Chan, K. L. Monaco, R.-P. Wang, M. P. Winters Tetrahedron Lett. 1998, 39, 2933-2936; D. A. Evans, J. L. Katz, T. R. West Tetrahedron Lett. 1998, 39, 2937-2940; P. Y. S. Lam, C. G. Clark, S. Saubern, J. Adams, M. P. Winters, D. M. T. Chan, A. Combs Tetrahedron Lett. 1998, 39, 2941-2944). The reaction is carried out in an inert solvent in a temperature range from 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Suitable solvents include e.g. dichloromethane or dichloroethane. Suitable auxiliary bases are in particular tertiary amines such as triethylamine or ethyldiisopropylamine or pyridine. Preferably the reaction is carried out using copper(II)-acetate as catalyst in dichloromethane, at temperatures between ambient temperature and the reflux temperature of the solvent, in the presence of triethylamine or pyridine.
The compounds of general formula (1-2) shown in Scheme 1 wherein U, V, X, Y, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore and A denotes a sulphur or oxygen atom or the group —N—H—, may be prepared analogously to the methods described under Schemes 2, 3 and 4.
Compounds of general formula (I) wherein U, V, X, Y, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore and A denotes a group selected from —S(═O)— (sulphoxide) or —SO2— (sulphone) may conveniently be prepared by oxidation of the respective thioether compounds. Suitable oxidising agents include for example peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide, 4-chloroperbenzoic acid or periodic acid, and optionally Lewis acids may be added to the reaction mixture. The reaction is carried out in a suitable mixture of solvents that has sufficient dissolving capability for all the reactants involved. The preferred solvents are dichloromethane or acetonitrile. The reaction may be carried out at temperatures between the setting point and the boiling point of the solvent used.
Compounds of general formula (I) wherein U, V, X, Y, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore and A denotes —N(C1-3-alkyl), —N(C(O)—C1-3-alkyl), may conveniently be prepared by alkylation or acylation of the respective biarylamines (1-3) using methods described in the specialist literature (cf. e.g. J. March, Advanced Organic Reactions, Reactions Mechanism, and Structure, 4th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Chichester/New York/Brisbane/Toronto/Singapore, 1992 and literature cited therein).
The compounds of general formulae (2-2), (3-2) and (4-2) are either commercially available or may be synthesised by methods that are known in the specialist field of organic chemistry or are described in the specialist literature (cf. e.g. J. March, Advanced Organic Reactions, Reactions Mechanism, and Structure, 4th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Chichester/New York/Brisbane/Toronto/Singapore, 1992 and literature cited therein). The use of transition metals and organo-metallic compounds for the synthesis is described in detail in monographs (cf. for example L. Brandsma, S. F. Vasilevsky, H. D. Verkruijsse, Application of Transition Metals Catalysts in Organic Synthesis, Springer-Verlag, Berlin/Heidelberg, 1999; M. Schlosser, Organometallics in Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, Chichester/New York/Brisbane/Toronto/Singapore, 1994, P. J. Stang, F. Diederich, Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 1997 and references contained therein).
In some cases the end product may be further derivatised, e.g. by manipulation of the substituents. These manipulations may be, inter alia, those which are generally known to the skilled man, such as oxidation, reduction, alkylation, acylation and hydrolysis, but need not be restricted to the above.
The new compounds of general formula I according to the invention may contain one or more chiral centres. If for example there are two chiral centres present, the compounds may occur in the form of two diastereomeric pairs of antipodes. The invention includes the individual isomers as well as the mixtures thereof.
The diastereomers may be separated on the basis of their different physico-chemical properties, e.g. by fractional crystallisation from suitable solvents, by high pressure liquid or column chromatography, using chiral or preferably non-chiral stationary phases.
Racemates covered by general formula I may be separated for example by HPLC on suitable chiral stationary phases (e.g. Chiral AGP, Chiralpak AD). Racemates which contain a basic or acidic function can also be separated via the diastereomeric, optically active salts which are produced on reacting with an optically active acid, for example (+) or (−)-tartaric acid, (+) or (−)-diacetyl tartaric acid, (+) or (−)-monomethyl tartrate or (+) or (−)-camphorsulphonic acid, or an optically active base, for example with (R)-(+)-1-phenylethylamine, (S)-(−)-1-phenylethylamine or (S)-brucine.
According to a conventional method of separating isomers, the racemate of a compound of general formula I is reacted with one of the abovementioned optically active acids or bases in equimolar amounts in a solvent and the resulting crystalline, diastereomeric, optically active salts thereof are separated using their different solubilities. This reaction may be carried out in any type of solvent provided that it is sufficiently different in terms of the solubility of the salts. Preferably, methanol, ethanol or mixtures thereof, for example in a ratio by volume of 50:50, are used. Then each of the optically active salts is dissolved in water, carefully neutralised with a base such as sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate, or with a suitable acid, e.g. with dilute hydrochloric acid or aqueous methanesulphonic acid, and in this way the corresponding free compound is obtained in the (+) or (−) form.
The (R) or (S) enantiomer alone or a mixture of two optically active diastereomeric compounds covered by general formula I may also be obtained by performing the syntheses described above with a suitable reaction component in the (R) or (S) configuration.
The new compounds of general formula I and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof have valuable pharmacological properties, based on their selective CGRP-antagonistic properties. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, their use and the preparation thereof.
The new compounds mentioned above and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof have CGRP-antagonistic properties and exhibit good affinities in CGRP receptor binding studies. The compounds display CGRP-antagonistic properties in the pharmacological test systems described hereinafter.
The following experiments were carried out to demonstrate the affinity of the above-mentioned compounds for human CGRP-receptors and their antagonistic properties:
A. Binding Studies with SK-N-MC Cells (Expressing the Human CGRP Receptor)
SK-N-MC membranes ( ̃20 μg protein) are incubated for 180 minutes at ambient temperature with 50 pM 125I-iodotyrosyl-Calcitonin-Gene-Related Peptide and increasing concentrations of the test substances in a total volume of 250 μl (assay buffer: 10 mM tris, 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, pH=7.4). The incubation is ended by rapid filtration through GF/B-glass fibre filters treated with polyethyleneimine (0.1%) using a cell harvester. The protein-bound radioactivity is measured using a gamma counter. Non-specific binding is defined as the bound radioactivity after the presence of 1 μM BIBN4096BS during incubation.
The concentration binding curves are analysed using computer-aided non-linear curve fitting.
The compounds mentioned hereinbefore show Ki values≦50 μm in the test described.
B. CGRP Antagonism in SK-N-MC Cells
SK-N-MC cells ( ̃1000 cells per well) are incubated for 30 minutes in the presence of increasing concentrations of CGRP and different concentrations of the test substance.
The cAMP contents of the samples are determined using an AlphaScreen cAMP assay kit (Perkin Elmer) and the pA2 values of antagonistically acting substances are determined graphically.
The compounds according to the invention exhibit CGRP-antagonistic properties in the in vitro test model described, in a dosage range between 10−12 and 10−4 M.
To demonstrate that the compounds of general formula I exhibit good to very good CGRP-antagonistic activities with different structural elements, the following Table gives the activity values obtained according to the test procedure described above.

It is also preferred if the compounds of formula I are administered by inhalation, particularly preferably if they are administered once or twice a day. For this purpose, the compounds of formula I have to be made available in forms suitable for inhalation. Inhalable preparations include inhalable powders, propellant-containing metered-dose aerosols or propellant-free inhalable solutions, which are optionally present in admixture with conventional physiologically acceptable excipients.
Within the scope of the present invention, the term propellant-free inhalable solutions also includes concentrates or sterile ready-to-use inhalable solutions. The preparations which may be used according to the invention are described in more detail in the next part of the specification.
EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
As a rule IR, 1H-NMR and/or mass spectra have been obtained for the compounds prepared. Unless stated otherwise, Rf values are determined using ready-made TLC silica gel plates 60 F254 (E. Merck, Darmstadt, Item no. 1.05714) without chamber saturation.
The ratios given for the eluants relate to units by volume of the particular solvents. The units by volume given for NH3 relate to a concentrated solution of NH3 in water.
Unless stated otherwise, the acid, base and salt solutions used in working up the reaction solutions are aqueous systems of the specified concentrations. Silica gel made by Millipore (MATREXTM, 35-70 μm) is used for chromatographic purifications.
