## Background
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
The present invention claims priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/514,454, filed Oct. 24, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel 1-(2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)alkanamine derivatives that act as agonists and partial agonists of the 5-HT2C receptor, processes for their preparation, and their use in medicine.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Schizophrenia affects approximately 5 million people. The most prevalent treatments for schizophrenia are currently the ‘atypical’ antipsychotics, which combine dopamine (D2) and serotonin (5-HT2A) receptor antagonism. Despite the reported improvements in efficacy and side-effect liability of atypical antipsychotics relative to typical antipsychotics, these compounds do not appear to adequately treat all the symptoms of schizophrenia and are accompanied by problematic side effects, such as weight gain (Allison, D. B., et. al., Am. J. Psychiatry, 156: 1686-1696, 1999; Masand, P. S., Exp. Opin. Pharmacother. I: 377-389, 2000; Whitaker, R., Spectrum Life Sciences. Decision Resources. 2: 1-9, 2000).
Atypical antipsychotics also bind with high affinity to 5-HT2C receptors and function as 5-HT2C receptor antagonists or inverse agonists. Weight gain is a problematic side effect associated with atypical antipsychotics such as clozapine and olanzapine, and it has been suggested that 5-HT2C antagonism is responsible for the increased weight gain. Conversely, stimulation of the 5-HT2C receptor is known to result in decreased food intake and body weight (Walsh et. al., Psychopharmacology 124: 57-73, 1996; Cowen, P. J., et. al., Human Psychopharmacology 10: 385-391, 1995; Rosenzweig-Lipson, S., et. al., ASPET abstract, 2000).
Several lines of evidence support a role for 5-HT2C receptor agonism or partial agonism as a treatment for schizophrenia. Studies suggest that 5-HT2C antagonists increase synaptic levels of dopamine and may be effective in animal models of Parkinson's disease (Di Matteo, V., et. al., Neuropharmacology 37: 265-272, 1998; Fox, S. H., et. al., Experimental Neurology 151: 35-49, 1998). Since the positive symptoms of schizophrenia are associated with increased levels of dopamine, compounds with actions opposite to those of 5-HT2C antagonists, such as 5-HT2C agonists and partial agonists, should reduce levels of synaptic dopamine. Recent studies have demonstrated that 5-HT2C agonists decrease levels of dopamine in the prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens (Millan, M. J., et. al., Neuropharmacology 37: 953-955, 1998; Di Matteo, V., et. al., Neuropharmacology 38: 1195-1205, 1999; Di Giovanni, G., et. al., Synapse 35: 53-61, 2000), brain regions that are thought to mediate critical antipsychotic effects of drugs like clozapine. However, 5-HT2C agonists do not decrease dopamine levels in the striatum, the brain region most closely associated with extrapyramidal side effects. In addition, a recent study demonstrates that 5-HT2C agonists decrease firing in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), but not in the substantia nigra. The differential effects of 5-HT2C agonists in the mesolimbic pathway relative to the nigrostriatal pathway suggest that 5-HT2C agonists have limbic selectivity, and will be less likely to produce extrapyramidal side effects associated with typical antipsychotics.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to certain dihydrobenzofuranyl alkanamine derivatives and to their use in medicine. In one aspect, the invention relates to novel 1-(2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)alkanamine derivatives that act as agonists or partial agonists of the 5-HT2C receptor. The compounds can be used, for example, to treat schizophrenia and the concomitant mood disorders and cognitive impairments of schizophrenia. Compounds of the present invention are preferably less likely to produce the body weight increases associated with current atypical antipsychotics. The compounds of the present invention can also be used for the treatment of obesity and its comorbidities.

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.



The compounds of Formula 1 have affinity for and agonist or partial agonist activity at the 2c subtype of brain serotonin receptors and are thus of interest for the treatment of mental disorders, including psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia including paranoid type, disorganized type, catatonic type, and undifferentiated type, schizophreniform disorder, schizoaffective disorder, delusional disorder, substance-induced psychotic disorder, and psychotic disorder not otherwise specified; L-DOPA-induced psychosis; psychosis associated with Alzheimer's dementia; psychosis associated with Parkinson's disease; psychosis associated with Lewy body disease; bipolar disorders such as bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, and cyclothymic disorder; depressive disorders such as major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, substance-induced mood disorder, and depressive disorder not otherwise specified; mood episodes such as major depressive episode, manic episode, mixed episode, and hypomanic episode; anxiety disorders such as panic attack, agoraphobia, panic disorder, specific phobia, social phobia, obsessive compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, acute stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, substance-induced anxiety disorder, and anxiety disorder not otherwise specified; adjustment disorders such as adjustment disorders with anxiety and/or depressed mood; intellectual deficit disorders such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and memory deficit; eating disorders (e.g., hyperphagia, bulimia or anorexia nervosa) and combinations of these mental disorders that may be present in a mammal. For example, mood disorders such as depressive disorders or bipolar disorders often accompany psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. A more complete description of the aforementioned mental disorders can be found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, Washington, D.C., American Psychiatric Association (1994), incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The compounds of formula 1 are also of interest for the treatment of epilepsy; migraines; sexual dysfunction; sleep disorders; substance abuse, including addiction to alcohol and various drugs, including cocaine and nicotine; gastrointestinal disorders, such as malfunction of gastrointestinal motility; and obesity, with its consequent comorbidities including Type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, stroke, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, gall bladder disease, gout, some cancers, some infertility, and early mortality.
The compounds of Formula 1 can also be used to treat central nervous system deficiencies associated, for example, with trauma, stroke, and spinal cord injuries. The compounds of Formula 1 can therefore be used to improve or inhibit further degradation of central nervous system activity during or following the malady or trauma in question. Included in these improvements are maintenance or improvement in motor and motility skills, control, coordination and strength.
In certain embodiments, the present invention therefore provides methods of treating, each of the conditions listed above in a patient, preferably in a human, the methods including administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound of Formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a patient suffering from such a condition.
In other embodiments, the invention relates to compositions comprising at least one compound of Formula 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, or diluents. Such compositions include pharmaceutical compositions for treating or controlling disease states or conditions of the central nervous system. In certain embodiments, the compositions comprise mixtures of one or more compounds of Formula 1.
Certain of the compounds of Formula 1 contain stereogenic carbon atoms or other chiral elements (i.e. chirality axis) and thus give rise to stereoisomers, including enantiomers, diastereomers, and in the case of biphenyls, the formation of atropisomers. For definitions and an extensive discourse on atropisomers, see: Eliel, E. L. Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds (John Wiley & Sons, 1994, p 1142), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Although the stereochemistry is not shown in Formula 1, Formula 1 includes all of the stereoisomers of the 1-(2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)alkanamine derivatives, as well as mixtures of the stereoisomers. Throughout this application, the name of the product, where the absolute configuration of an asymmetric center is not indicated, is intended to embrace the individual stereoisomers as well as mixtures of stereoisomers. When it is necessary to distinguish the enantiomers from one another and from the racemate, the sign of the optical rotation [(+), (−) and (±)] is utilized. Furthermore, throughout this application, the designations R* and S* are used to indicate relative stereochemistry, employing the Chemical Abstracts convention which automatically assigns R* to the lowest numbered asymmetric center.
Where a stereoisomer is preferred, it may, in some embodiments, be provided substantially free of the corresponding stereoisomer. Thus, a stereoisomer substantially free of the corresponding stereoisomer refers to a compound that is isolated or separated via separation techniques or prepared free of the corresponding stereoisomer. “Substantially free,” as used herein, means that the compound is made up of a significantly greater proportion of one stereoisomer. In preferred embodiments, the compound is made up of at least about 90% by weight of a preferred stereoisomer. In other embodiments of the invention, the compound is made up of at least about 99% by weight of a preferred stereoisomer. Preferred stereoisomers can be isolated from racemic mixtures by any method known to those skilled in the art, including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts, or preferred stereoisomers can be prepared by methods described herein. Methods for the preparation of preferred stereoisomers are described, for example, in Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen, S. H., et al., Tetrahedron 33: 2725 (1977); Eliel, E. L. Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, S. H. Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E. L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, Ind. 1972), each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
This invention also provides processes for preparing compounds of formula I which processes include one of the following:

    a) reacting a compound of formula 7






wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7 are as defined herein, with sodium azide and reducing the product to give a compound of formula 1 wherein n is 1 and R and R′ are both H;

or

    b) reacting a compound of formula 7 as defined above with an amine of formula NHRR′ where R and R′ are as defined herein to give a corresponding compound of formula 1 wherein n is 1;

or

    c) reacting a compound of formula 7 as defined above with sodium cyanide followed by reduction to give a compound of formula 1 wherein n is 2 and R and R′ are both H;
    d) converting a compound of formula 1 as defined herein to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or vice versa;

or

    e) isolating a specific enantiomer or diastereomer of a compound of formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as defined herein from a mixture thereof.


The 1-(2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)alkanamine derivatives of Formula 1 may be prepared as illustrated in Scheme I.




Variables used are as defined for Formula 1, unless otherwise noted. The appropriately substituted phenol (2) is alkylated with an appropriately substituted allyl bromide or alcohol (3) in the presence of a suitable base such as potassium carbonate in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide. The phenols, allyl bromides, and allyl alcohols appropriate for the synthesis of the compounds of formula I are either commercially available or can readily be prepared by one skilled in the art. The resulting allyl ether (4) is treated in refluxing mesitylene or other suitable high boiling solvent to afford the desired Claisen rearrangement product. The 2-allyl phenol (5) intermediate is subjected to epoxidation of the double bond with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in dichloromethane. The resulting epoxy phenol intermediate is treated with a suitable base such as potassium carbonate in a solvent such as methanol to induce cyclization to give the 2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)methanol (6). Treatment of (6) with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and a suitable base such as pyridine affords the tosylate (7). Conversion of (7) to the amine (1) can be accomplished, for example, by treatment with sodium azide in a solvent such as dimethylsulfoxide followed by reduction of the azide or direct treatment with an appropriately substituted amine to provide the compounds of Formula 1. Additionally, longer alkyl chains (i.e. 2-aminoethyl) may be prepared, for example, via treatment of (7) with sodium cyanide in a solvent such as dimethylsulfoxide followed by reduction of the nitrile.
The preparation of appropriately substituted phenols (2) in Scheme I; in particular the 7-aryl substituted phenols, is illustrated in Scheme Ia.




Utilization of a 2-halogenated methoxy benzene or a suitably protected 2-halogenated phenol (2a) permits the introduction of the aromatic substitutent through a palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reaction (i.e Suzuki reaction) with the desired boronic acid. Treatment of (2a) with a catalyst such as dichlorobis(tri-o-tolylphosphine)-palladium(II) in the presence of a suitable base such as potassium carbonate in a solvent such as dioxane provides the biaryl system. Subsequent removal of the protecting group, in this example demethylation of (2b) via reaction with borontribromide in dichloromethane affords the phenol (2).
Alternatively, the phenols (2) may be prepared by a reversal of the inherent reactivity associated with the partners in the cross-coupling reaction as shown in Scheme Ib.




Installation of the biaryl system may also be accomplished via a palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reaction (i.e Suzuki reaction) of appropriate derivatives of 2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)methyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (7) with the desired boronic acid (Scheme Ic). Treatment of (7) with a catalyst such as dichlorobis(tri-o-tolylphosphine)-palladium(II) in the presence of a suitable base such as potassium carbonate in a solvent such as dioxane provides the biaryl system.




Alternatively, installation of the biaryl system may be accomplished via a palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reaction (i.e Suzuki reaction) of appropriate 1-(2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl) derivatives (1a) in either racemic or stereochemically pure form following separation of the enantiomers. For example, treatment of 1a and a boronic acid (Scheme Id) with a catalyst such as dichlorobis(tri-o-tolylphosphine)-palladium(II) in the presence of a suitable base such as potassium carbonate (as described previously) provides the desired biaryl system. Deprotection of the resultant product from the coupling procedure with, for example, iodotrimethylsilane in a solvent such as acetonitrile (foir X=NRCbz) then affords the title compounds of Formula 1.




The compounds of Formula 1 can also be prepared in a stereoselective manner as illustrated in Scheme II.




Protection of the 2-allyl phenol (5) with a suitable protecting group such as benzyl by treatment with benzyl bromide in the presence of a suitable base such as potassium carbonate in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide gives the benzyl ether (8). Treatment of (8) utilizing extant methodology known to one skilled in the art for the stereoselective oxidation of double bonds such as the Sharpless Asymmetric Dihydroxylation (A-D) provides the diol (9) in stereochemically enriched form. Many methods are available to one skilled in the art for the transfer of the stereochemical information present in (9) into the compounds of formula (1) with retention of stereochemical integrity. One such method involves deprotection of the benzyl ether with catalytic palladium on carbon under a hydrogen atmosphere (45 psi) in a solvent, such as methanol, to provide triol (10). Formation to the previously described 2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)methanol (6) can be accomplished by treatment of (9) with hydrogen bromide in acetic acid to provide the intermediate vicinal acetoxy bromide followed by cyclization with a suitable base such as potassium carbonate in a solvent such as methanol.
Alternatively, the compounds of Formula 1 can be prepared via selective mono-protection of diol (9) with a suitable protecting group as illustrated in Scheme III.




Treatment of (9) with tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride in the presence of a suitable base such as imidazole in a solvent such as N,N,-dimethylformamide followed by deprotection of the benzyl ether (as previously described) with catalytic palladium on carbon under a hydrogen atmosphere gives phenol (12). Cyclodehydration of (12) using standard Mitsunobu conditions, such as triphenylphosphine in the presence of diethylazodicarboxylate in a solvent such as toluene, provides the 2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)methanol (13) protected as the silyl ether. Removal of the silyl ether in (13) using standard conditions such as tetrabutylamonnium fluoride in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran then provides the alcohol (6) which can be converted to the compounds of the current invention as previously described (Scheme I).
In lieu of a protecting group, diol (9) can be converted to the mono-tosylated derivative (12a) by treatment with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and a suitable base such as pyridine to give the desired product, as illustrated in Scheme IV.




Deprotection of the benzyl ether with catalytic palladium on carbon gives phenol (12b) followed by cyclodehydration with triphenylphosphine in the presence of diethylazodicarboxylate (as previously described) provides the aforementioned 2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)methyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (7).
An additional route to the production of stereochemically enriched compounds of Formula 1 is illustrated in Scheme V.




Palladium or transition metal catalyzed transposition of the double bond present in the previously described 2-allyl benzyl ether (8) using an appropriate catalyst such as dichlorobis(acetonitrile)palladium(II) in dichloromethane provides styrene derivative (14). Treatment of (14) with selenium dioxide in dioxane provides the carbonyl derivative (15). Reduction of the carbonyl to the allylic alcohol (16) can be accomplished by treatment with an appropriate reducing agent such as tetrabutylammonium borohydride in a solvent such as dichloromethane. The allylic alcohol (16) provides a suitable intermediate for the stereoselective introduction of oxygenation that permits transfer of this stereochemical integrity into the compounds of formula (1). The Sharpless Asymmetric Epoxidation (A-E) reaction is a general method for the stereoselective epoxidation of allylic alcohols and treatment of (16) under the appropriate conditions provides epoxy alcohol (17) with a high degree of stereoselectivity. The alcohol present in (17) can then be tosylated with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride as previously described to give derivative (18). Deprotection of the benzyl ether with concomitant regioselective opening of the epoxide maintaining the stereochemical information introduced by the Sharpless A-E is accomplished under the appropriate conditions by treatment of (18) with palladium on carbon under a hydrogen atmosphere in a solvent such as ethanol. Cyclodehydration using Mitsunobu conditions as previously described then affords 2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)methyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (7).
The preparation of compounds of Formula 1 can also be accomplished in a stereospecific manner utilizing an optically pure commercially available intermediate. This method is described in detail in a copending U.S. provisional patent application entitled “Process For Stereospecific Synthesis of Dihydrobenzofuran Derivatives,” filed in the name of Dahui Zhou, et al. on the same date as the instant application. That application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes. As shown in Scheme VI, below, for example, reaction of benzyl (S)-(+)-glycidyl ether with the anion obtained by treatment of 2-bromoanisole with an alkyllithium such as n-butyllithium provides the resultant epoxy intermediate. Ring opening of the epoxide with a Lewis acid such as borontrifluoride diethyletherate provides diol (9a) with the primary alcohol protected as the benzyl ether. Deprotection of the methoxy group in 9a by treatment with 30% hydrogen bromide in acetic acid results in concomitant formation of intermediate vicinal acetoxy bromide (10a) followed by removal of the acetate with aqueous hydrogen chloride to provide diol (13a). Cyclodehydration with triphenylphosphine in the presence of diethylazodicarboxylate (as previously described) provides the desired 2-(bromomethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran (7b) that can be converted to the 7-bromo derivative (7c) by treatment with bromine in acetic acid.




A further method for the synthesis of stereochemically enriched compounds of Formula 1 is described in detail in copending U.S. provisional patent application entitled “Asymmetric Synthesis of 2-(methylamino)dihydrobenzofurans,” filed in the name of Alexander Gontcharov, et al. on the same date as the instant application. That application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes. That method is illustrated in the preparation of the compound 2R-(−)-7-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-5-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-2-aminomethylbenzofuran hydrochloride shown in Scheme VII.







In certain embodiments, the invention relates to compositions comprising at least one compound of Formula 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, or diluents. Such compositions are prepared in accordance with acceptable pharmaceutical procedures, such as, for example, those described in Remingtons Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th edition, ed. Alfonoso R. Gennaro, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa. (1985), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are those carriers that are compatible with the other ingredients in the formulation and are biologically acceptable.
The compounds of Formula 1 can be administered orally or parenterally, neat, or in combination with conventional pharmaceutical carriers. Applicable solid carriers can include one or more substances that can also act as flavoring agents, lubricants, solubilizers, suspending agents, fillers, glidants, compression aids, binders, tablet-disintegrating agents, or encapsulating materials. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid that is in admixture with the finely divided active ingredient. In tablets, the active ingredient is mixed with a carrier having the necessary compression properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain up to 99% of the active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers include, for example, calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugars, lactose, dextrin, starch, gelatin, cellulose, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidine, low melting waxes and ion exchange resins.
Liquid carriers can be used in preparing solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups and elixirs. The active ingredient can be dissolved or suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier such as water, an organic solvent, a mixture of both, or a pharmaceutically acceptable oil or fat. The liquid carrier can contain other suitable pharmaceutical additives such as, for example, solubilizers, emulsifiers, buffers, preservatives, sweeteners, flavoring agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, colors, viscosity regulators, stabilizers or osmo-regulators. Suitable examples of liquid carriers for oral and parenteral administration include water (particularly containing additives as above, e.g. cellulose derivatives, preferably sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution), alcohols (including monohydric alcohols and polyhydric alcohols e.g. glycols) and their derivatives, and oils (e.g. fractionated coconut oil and arachis oil). For parenteral administration, the carrier can also be an oily ester such as ethyl oleate and isopropyl myristate. Sterile liquid carriers are used in sterile liquid form compositions for parenteral administration. The liquid carrier for pressurized compositions can be halogenated hydrocarbon or other pharmaceutically acceptable propellant.
Liquid pharmaceutical compositions that are sterile solutions or suspensions can be administered by, for example, intramuscular, intraperitoneal or subcutaneous injection. Sterile solutions can also be administered intravenously. Compositions for oral administration can be in either liquid or solid form.
The compounds of Formula 1 can be administered rectally or vaginally in the form of a conventional suppository. For administration by intranasal or intrabronchial inhalation or insufflation, the compounds of Formula 1 can be formulated into an aqueous or partially aqueous solution, which can then be utilized in the form of an aerosol. The compounds of Formula 1 can also be administered transdermally through the use of a transdermal patch containing the active compound and a carrier that is inert to the active compound, is non-toxic to the skin, and allows delivery of the agent for systemic absorption into the blood stream via the skin. The carrier can take any number of forms such as creams and ointments, pastes, gels, and occlusive devices. The creams and ointments can be viscous liquid or semisolid emulsions of either the oil-in-water or water-in-oil type. Pastes comprised of absorptive powders dispersed in petroleum or hydrophilic petroleum containing the active ingredient can also be suitable. A variety of occlusive devices can be used to release the active ingredient into the blood stream such as a semipermeable membrane covering a reservoir containing the active ingredient with or without a carrier, or a matrix containing the active ingredient. Other occlusive devices are known in the literature.
Preferably the pharmaceutical composition is in unit dosage form, e.g. as tablets, capsules, powders, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, granules, or suppositories. In such form, the composition is sub-divided in unit dose containing appropriate quantities of the active ingredient; the unit dosage forms can be packaged compositions, for example, packeted powders, vials, ampoules, prefilled syringes or sachets containing liquids. The unit dosage form can be, for example, a capsule or tablet itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any such compositions in package form.
The amount of compound of formula 1 provided to a patient will vary depending upon what is being administered, the purpose of the administration, such as prophylaxis or therapy, the state of the patient, the manner of administration, and the like. In therapeutic applications, compounds of formula 1 are provided to a patient suffering from a condition in an amount sufficient to treat or at least partially treat the symptoms of the condition and its complications. An amount adequate to accomplish this is a “therapeutically effective amount” as described previously herein. The dosage to be used in the treatment of a specific case must be subjectively determined by the attending physician. The variables involved include the specific condition and the size, age, and response pattern of the patient. The treatment of substance abuse follows the same method of subjective drug administration under the guidance of the attending physician. Generally, a starting dose is about 5 mg per day with gradual increase in the daily dose to about 150 mg per day, to provide the desired dosage level in the patient.
In certain embodiments, the present invention is directed to prodrugs of compounds of Formula 1. The term “prodrug,” as used herein, means a compound that is convertible in vivo by metabolic means (e.g. by hydrolysis) to a compound of Formula 1. Various forms of prodrugs are known in the art such as those discussed in, for example, Bundgaard, (ed.), Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier (1985); Widder, et al. (ed.), Methods in Enzymology, vol. 4, Academic Press (1985); Krogsgaard-Larsen, et al., (ed). “Design and Application of Prodrugs, Textbook of Drug Design and Development, Chapter 5, 113-191 (1991), Bundgaard, et al., Journal of Drug Delivery Reviews, 8:1-38(1992), Bundgaard, J. of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 77:285 et seq. (1988); and Higuchi and Stella (eds.) Prodrugs as Novel Drug Delivery Systems, American Chemical Society (1975), each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Alternative synthesis of 2R-(−)-7-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-5-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-2-aminomethylbenzofuran hydrochloride




To a solution of NaOH (54 g, 1.35 mol) in water (400 mL) heated to 60° C. was added dimethoxyethane (400 mL), then dichlorobromobenzene (Aldrich, 60 g, 0.267 mol) and boronic acid (50 g, 0.294 mol). To the resulting stirred emulsion, solid Pd(PPh3)4 (9.5 g, 8.2 mmol) was added and washed down with 100 mL of DME. The greenish mixture was heated at reflux (ca. 80° C.) while stirred mechanically. The course of reaction was monitored by HPLC. After 2 hr, 9.0 g (0.053 mol) of additional boronic acid and 2.0 g (1.7 mmol) of the catalyst were added to the reaction mixture and the heating was continued for 16 hr longer. More boronic acid (5.8 g, 0.034 mol) and the catalyst (0.5 g, 0.4 mmol) were added at that point and the mixture was kept at reflux for 7 hr longer (23 hr was total reaction time).
The heating was stopped and 600 mL of heptane and 300 mL of water were added. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and then was filtered through Celite. The layers were separated, the organic layer was washed with water, three times with brine, dried with MgSO4 and filtered through a pad of Magnesol. The clear colorless solution was concentrated on a rotary evaporator to a colorless oil (weight 72 g). The oil was triturated with 120 mL of heptane which caused crystallization of a white solid. The mixture was left in a refrigerator overnight, the separated crystals were filtered and dried in air. Yield 51 g, 93% pure. The major impurity was determined to be the homo-coupling product 13. Additional recrystallization of the material from heptane gave crystals of 98% purity. Yield 45 g (62%) as white crystals.




To a magnetically stirred solution of the arene (38.0 g, 0.140 mol) in 190 mL of dioxane placed into a 500-mL round-bottom flask equipped with a temperature probe, cone, sulfuric acid (38 mL) was added slowly (exothermic mixing, temperature rose to 37° C., the solution turned yellow). To the warm solution (the arene would crystallize out of the mixture if it was allowed to cool down), solid NBS (26.7 g, 0.150 mol) was added in one portion (no exothermic heating was observed here). The resulting solution was heated in a mantle at 50° C. The reaction progress monitored by HPLC. After 18 hr, only trace amount of the starting arene was detected.
The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature (r.t.), then it was poured onto 400 g of ice (could use lesser amount as it did not melt completely). Heptane (100 mL) was added and the mixture was transferred to the separatory funnel. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with additional portions of heptane (2×100 mL) (toluene could be used instead of heptane as the product started to crystallize; toluene was added to the organic solution to get the product back into the solution). Combined organic solutions were washed once with water (30 mL), then aq. Na2S2O3 solution (to remove unreacted NBS, reaction with KI-starch indicator paper), and, finally, with 1 M aq. NaOH solution (2×30 mL) (upon NaOH treatment the mixture turned from yellow to dark-brown but all the color went into the aqueous phase). Light-yellow clear organic solution was dried with MgSO4, filtered through a cotton plug and evaporated in vacuum (bath temp. 60° C.). The resulting yellow oil was re-dissolved in 55 mL of heptane.
The first batch of crystals (25.5 g) slowly separated from the heptane solution at r.t. and was filtered and dried in air. Purity 98% (HPLC @ 215 nm), white crystals. M.p. 67-69° C.
The second batch of the product (13.9 g) was isolated from the mother liquor by chilling it in a dry-ice-acetone bath, filtering off the precipitated solid and drying it in a vacuum desiccator over CaSO4. Purity 97% (HPLC area % at 215 nm), white amorphous powder. M.p. 47-56° C.

Generation of the Grignard reagent. Aryl bromide (25.0 g, 71.4 mmol) was placed into a 500-mL flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, nitrogen inlet, temperature probe and a rubber septum. The flask was purged excessively with nitrogen, then left under positive nitrogen pressure. Dry THF (100 mL) was transferred into the flask via a syringe. The solution was chilled in an ice bath to 2° C.
A solution of i-PrMgCl in ThF (1.9 M, Aldrich, 39.5 mL, 75 mmol) was added slowly to the solution in the flask via a syringe (20 min addition time, the temperature was maintained between 2 and 6° C.). The resulting yellowish solution was left in the bath for 18 hr allowing it to reach room temperature. (The reaction is monitored by HPLC analysis of an aliquote quenched by water. Care should be taken not to introduce oxygen into the reaction flask while sampling the solution.)
Reaction with glycidyl tosylate. The solution of the Grignard reagent was chilled to −30° C. by placing the flask in a bath with partially frozen dichloroethane (M.p. −45° C.). CuCN (0.45 g, 5.0 mmol, 7 mol %; Aldrich) was added to the flask via syringe as a slurry in dry THF. The resulting mixture was stirred for 1 hr at −30° C., then (S)-(+)-glycidyl tosylate (15.5 g, 68 mmol, Aldrich) dissolved in 10 mL of dry THF was added to the solution (addition time 30 min, reaction mixture temperature was maintained between −22 and −29° C.). The reaction was left stirring at −31° C. for 2 hr, then the DCE bath was replaced with a partially frozen o-xylene bath (o-xylene M.p. −25° C.). Over the next 3 hr the temperature was allowed to reach −18° C. HPLC analysis of the quenched aliquot showed complete disappearance of glycidyl tosylate.
To the cold reaction mixture, 100 mL of aq. NH4Cl solution (prepared by 1:1 dilution of the saturated solution with water) was added. The phases were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with 50 mL of NTBE. Combined organic solutions were washed with 30 mL of brine.
Closure of the epoxide. To the solution of the intermediate hydroxytosylate was added aq. solution of NaOH prepared by mixing 20 mL of 10 M stock solution (200 mmol) with 30 mL of water. The resulting bi-phasic mixture was stirred rapidly with a magnetic stirrer so that the mixture was broken into fine emulsion. After 18 hr at room temp, (checked by HPLC) the mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with 100 mL of MTBE, combined organic solutions were washed with brine and dried with MgSO4. After filtration through a paper filter, light-yellow solution was evaporated in vacuum to give a mixture the epoxide and des-bromo-arene as a light-yellow oil which solidified upon cooling to room temp. Weight 23.06 g. The mixture was used in the subsequent step without purification.




The epoxide (22.6 g of the crude mixture from the previous step, ca. 67 mmol), phthalimide (10.3 g, 70 mmol) and its potassium salt (12.9 g, 70 mmol) were placed in a 250 round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, a nitrogen inlet, and a temperature probe. Dry DMF (100 mL) was added to the mixture. The reaction flask was briefly purged with nitrogen and then was being heated at 75° C. with stirring for 20 hr (the progress was monitored by HPLC). Once no starting epoxide was detected, the mixture was allowed to cool to room temp, and then mixed with 200 mL of ice-water slush. The product was extracted with MTBE (2×100 mL). The organic solution was washed with solution prepared from 2 parts of 1 M aq. NaOH, 3 parts brine, and 5 parts water (2×100 mL), then with brine until neutral pH (Note: The product may start crystallizing during the extractions and washes. In that case it was brought back into solution by adding THF to the mixture). The resulting organic solution was dried with MgSO4, filtered through a paper filter and evaporated in vacuum. The product started to crystallize during the evaporation. The volume of the solvent was reduced to ca. 40 mL, then the residue was triturated with 200 mL of hexanes. The white solid was filtered, washed with hexanes and dried in air.

In a 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, temperature probe and an addition funnel (suspended over the flask without attaching) was placed the product of the preceding step, 2S-3-[5-Fluoro-3-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2-methoxyphenyl]-1-N-phthalimidopropan-2-ol, (22.0 g, 46.4 mmol), CH2Cl2 (200 mL) and triethylamine (9.7 mL, 70 mmol). Into the addition funnel was placed CH2Cl2 (20 mL) and methanesulfonyl chloride (5.4 mL, 70 mL). The solution of MsCl was added dropwise (addition time 10 min) to the stirred solution in the flask (exothermic reaction, temp, rose to 32° C. by the end of addition). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temp, for 2 hr (checked by HPLC). White solid separated from the solution over that time.
Water (100 mL) was added to the reaction mixture while stirring it rapidly. About 120 mL of DCM was distilled off on a rotary evaporator. The residue was triturated with 200 mL of hexanes.

The product of the preceding step, 2S-3-[5-Fluoro-3-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2-methoxyphenyl]-1-N-phthalimidopropan-2-yl methanesulfonate, (22.1 g, 40.0 mmol) and dichloromethane (200 mL) were placed into a 500-mL flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, a temperature probe, a nitrogen inlet and a 50-mL addition runnel. The flask and the addition runnel were purged briefly with nitrogen (Oust in case). The slurry in the flask was chilled in an ice bath to 4° C. A 1M solution of BBr3 in CH2Cl2 (Aldrich, 42 mL, 42 mmol) was placed into the addition runnel and was added dropwise to the stirred contents of the flask (addition time 12 min, temp, drifted from 4 to 10° C.). The stirring was continued allowing the temperature of the reaction mixture to reach 16° C. over 2-hr period and then at room temp (19° C.) for 3 hr longer. The reaction progress was monitored by HPLC (1% of unreacted starting material remained, area % at 215 nm). 1M
The reaction mixture was quenched by slowly pouring it into the solution prepared from NaHCO3 (11 g, 131 mmol) and 200 mL of water (the reaction went fairly slow, no exotherm was observed, no excessive foaming either). Precipitate formed initially in the organic layer but dissolved after ca. 20 min of rapid stirring. After 30 min of stirring, the layers were separated. Aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (2×50 mL). Combined organic solutions were washed with 100 mL of water, then dried with MgSO4 The drying agent was filtered off and washed with ethyl acetate. The volume of the filtrate was reduced to about 50 mL on rotary evaporator. The product separated as white or light-yellow solid.

The product of the preceding step, 2R-7-(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)-5-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-2-(N-phthalimidomethyl)benzofuran, (12.9 g, 29.2 mmol) was mixed with 70 mL of isopropanol and 15 mL of water. Hydrazine hydrate (55% hydrazine content, Aldrich, 5 mL, 90 mmol) was then added and the reaction mixture was magnetically stirred and heated at gentle reflux for 2 hr. (In case by-product phthalyl hydrazide crystallizes out and gets in a way of stirring it is re-dissolved by adding 3:1 mixture of isopropanol-water. It is very little soluble in isopropanol alone.) Dissolution of the staring material and formation of a clear solution was an indication that the reaction is done. It was confirmed by HPLC analysis before working up the reaction mixture.
To the hot solution was added 40 mL of 1 M aqueous NaOH and 100 mL of water. The product was extracted with MTBE (3×50 mL). Combined extracts were washed with 60 mL of 0.2 M aq. NaOH, then with water (2×50 mL) and finally with brine (50 mL). Resulting clear solution was dried over Na2SO4 for 1 hr, filtered through a paper filter and evaporated in vacuum to afford a light-yellow oil (it was slightly opalescent).
The oil was dissolved in 50 mL of EtOAc and to the solution was added rapidly 2 M solution of HCl in diethyl ether (Aldrich, 15 mL, 30 mmol). The salt precipitated rapidly (exothermic) and froze in a single chunk. It was broken up by shaking it with 100 mL of ether, then the slurry was stirred for 30 min in an ice bath. The salt was filtered, washed with 100 mL of ether, dried first on the filter in the stream of air until the filter reached room temp, and then overnight in a vacuum desiccator over CaSO4.

EXAMPLE 571
Determination of Binding Affinity and Agonist Activity of Compounds of Formula 1
The ability of the compounds of this invention to act as 5HT2C agonists and partial agonists was established using several standard pharmacological test procedures; the procedures used and results obtained are provided below. In the test procedures, 5-HT stands for 5-hydroxytryptamine, mCPP stands for meta-chlorophenylpiperazine, and DOI stands for 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)isopropylamine.
To evaluate the affinity of various compounds of Formula 1 for activity at the 5-HT2C receptor, a CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cell line transfected with the cDNA expressing the human 5-hydroxytryptamine-2C (h5-HT2C) receptor was maintained in DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Media) supplied with fetal calf serum, glutamine, and the markers: guaninephosphoribosyl transferase (GTP) and hypoxanthinethymidine (HT). The cells were allowed to grow to confluence in large culture dishes with intermediate changes of media and splitting. Upon reaching confluence, the cells were harvested by scraping. The harvested cells were suspended in half volume of fresh physiological phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution and centrifuged at low speed (900×g). This operation was repeated once. The collected cells were then homogenized with a polytron at setting #7 for 15 sec in ten volumes of 50 mM Tris.HCl, pH 7.4 and 0.5 mM EDTA. The homogenate was centrifuged at 900×g for 15 min to remove nuclear particles and other cell debris. The pellet was discarded and the supernatant fluid recentrifuged at 40,000×g for 30 min. The resulting pellet was resuspended in a small volume of Tris.HCl buffer and the tissue protein content was determined in aliquots of 10-25 μL volumes. Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) was used as the standard in the protein determination by the method of Lowry et al., (J. Biol. Chem., 193:265 (1951). The volume of the suspended cell membranes was adjusted with 50 mM Tris.HCl buffer containing: 0.1% ascorbic acid, 10 mM pargyline and 4 mM CaCl2 to give a tissue protein concentration of 1-2 mg per ml of suspension. The preparation membrane suspension (many times concentrated) was aliquoted in 1 ml volumes and stored at −70 C until used in subsequent binding experiments.
Binding measurements were performed in a 96 well microtiter plate format, in a total volume of 200 μL. To each well was added: 60 μL of incubation buffer made in 50 mM Tris.HCl buffer, pH 7.4 and containing 4 mM CaCl2; 20 μL of [125I] DOI (S.A., 2200 Ci/mmol, NEN Life Science).
The dissociation constant, KD of [125I] DOI at the human serotonin 5-HT2C receptor was 0.4 nM by saturation binding with increasing concentrations of [125I] DOI. The reaction was initiated by the final addition of 100 μL of tissue suspension containing 50 μg of receptor protein. Nonspecific binding is measured in the presence of 1 μM unlabeled DOI added in 20.0 μL volume. Test compounds were added in 20.0 μL. The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 60 min. The incubation was stopped by rapid filtration. The bound ligand-receptor complex was filtered off on a 96 well unifilter with a Packard® Filtermate 196 Harvester. The bound complex caught on the filter disk was dried in a vacuum oven heated to 60° C. and the radioactivity measured by liquid scintillation with 40 μL Microscint-20 scintillant in a Packard TopCount® equipped with six (6) photomultiplier detectors.
Specific binding is defined as the total radioactivity bound less the amount bound in the presence of 1 μM unlabeled DOI. Binding in the presence of varying concentrations of test drugs is expressed as percent of specific binding in the absence of drug. These results are then plotted as log % bound vs log concentration of test drug. Non linear regression analysis of data points yields both the IC50 and the Ki values of test compounds with 95% confidence limits. Alternatively, a linear regression line of decline of data points is plotted, from which the IC50 value can be read off the curve and the Ki value determined by solving the following equation:

where L is the concentration of the radioactive ligand used and the KD is the dissociation constant of the ligand for the receptor, both expressed in nM.

The ability of the compounds of Formula 1 to produce an agonist response at brain 5-HT2C was assessed by determining their effect on calcium mobilization using the following procedure: CHO cells stably expressing the human 5-HT2C receptor were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and non-essential amino acids. Cells were plated at a density of 40K cells/well in 96-well clear-bottom black-wall plates 24 hours prior to the evaluation of 5-HT2C receptor-stimulated calcium mobilization. For calcium studies, cells were loaded with the calcium indicator dye Fluo-3-AM in Hank's buffered saline (FBS) for 60 minutes at 37° C. Cells were washed with BBS at room temperature and transferred to the fluorometric imaging plate reader (FLIPR, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.) for acquisition of calcium images. Excitation at 488 nm was achieved with an Argon ion laser and a 510-560 nm emission filter was used. Fluorescence images and relative intensities were captured at 1 second intervals and cells were stimulated by addition of agonist after 10 baseline measurements using the internal fluidics module of the FLIPR. An increase in fluorescence counts corresponds to an increase in intracellular calcium.
For the evaluation of agonist pharmacology the calcium changes in response to different concentrations of agonist were determined using a maximum minus minimum calculation of the raw fluorescence count data. Calcium changes were then expressed as a percentage of the response observed with a maximally effective concentration of 5-HT. EC50 values were estimated by non-linear regression analysis of the log-concentration % maximum 5-HT response curves using the 4-parameter logistic function. Preferred compounds are those with an EC50 of ≦about 1000 nM, preferably ≦about 100 nM, more preferably ≦about 20 nM, still more preferably ≦about 5 nM, and most preferably ≦about 2 nM.
The following EC50's are provided for various reference compounds:
