Description: BICYCL0 [2.2.2^ OCTANE DERIVATIVES AS CHOLESTOCYSTOKININ INHIBITORS . This invention relates to bicyclo [2.2.2] octane derivatives, and ' more particularly to bicyclo [2.2.2] octane derivatives which bind '. ~ 5 to cholecystokinin and/or gastrin receptors . The invention also * -_- relates to methods for preparing such bicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives and to cαrrpounds which are useful as intermediates in such methods. 10 Gastrin and the CCK's are structurally-related neuropeptides which exist in gastrointestinal tissue and in the CNS (see Mutt V., Gastrointestinal Hormones, Glass G.B.J., ed., Raven Press, N.Y., p 169 and Nisson G., ibid, p. 127) . 15 Gastrin is one of the three primary stimulants of gastric acid secretion. Several forms of gastrin are found including 34-, 17-, and 14-amino acid species with the minimum active fragment being the C-terminal tetrapeptide (TrpMetAspPhe-NH;) which is reported in the literature to have full pharmacological activity (see Tracey 20 H.J. and Gregory R.A., Nature (London), 1964, 204, 935). Much effort has been devoted to the synthesis of analogues of this tetrapeptide (and the N-protected derivative Boc-TrpMetAspPhe-NH 2 ) in an attempt to elucidate the relationship between structure and activity. 25 Natural cholecystokinin is a 33 amino acid peptide (CCK-33), the C-terminal 5 amino acids of which are identical to those of gastrin. Also found naturally is the C-terminal octapeptide (CCK- 8) of CCK-33. 30 The cholecystokinins are reported to be important in the regulation of appetite. They stimulate intestinal motility, gall bladder contraction, pancreatic enzyme secretion, and are known to have a trophic action on the pancreas. They also inhibit gastric emptying 35 and have various effects in the CNS. Compounds which bind to cholecystokinin and/or gastrin receptors are important because of their potential pharmaceutical use as antagonists of the natural peptides . A number of gastrin antagonists have been proposed for various therapeutic applications, including the prevention of gastrin- related disorders, gastrointestinal ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, antral G Cell hyperplasia and other conditions in which lowered gastrin activity is desirable. The hormone has also been shown to have a trophic action on cells in the stomach and so an antagonist may be expected to be useful in the treatment of cancers, particularly in the stomach. Possible therapeutic uses for cholecystokinin antagonists include the control of appetite disorders such as anorexia nervosa, and the treatment of pancreatic inflammation, biliary tract disease and various psychiatric disorders. Other possible uses are in the potentiation of opiate (e.g. morphine) analgesia, and in the treatment of cancers, especially of the pancreas. Moreover, ligands for cholecystokinin receptors in the brain (so-called CCKg receptors) have been claimed to possess anxiolytic activity. According to the present invention, there are provided compounds for use in therapy (and particularly for use as gastrin and/or CCK antagonists) , such compounds being of the formula wherein W is a carbonyl, sulphonyl or sulphinyl group, and X is a carbonyl, sulphonyl or sulphinyl group or -C(0)-CH 2 - (in which the carbonyl group is bonded to Y) , provided that at least one of and X contains carbonyl, Y is R 7 -0- or R,-N(R - (wherein R- is H or C to C 15 hydrocarbyl, up to two carbon atoms of the hydrocarbyl moiety optionally being replaced by a nitrogen, oxygen or sulphur atom provided that Y does not contain a -O-O- group, and Rg is H, to C 3 alkyl, carboxymethyl or i esterified carboxymethyl) , 5 * Z is selected from i) -O-R, wherein R, is H, C. to C 5 alkyl, phenyl, substituted 10 phenyl, benzyl or substituted benzyl; ii) - ?N — H ' 15 wherein Q is H, to C 5 hydrocarbyl, or -R 10 -U, wherein R 10 is a bond or C : to C- 3 alkylene and U is aryl, substituted aryl , heterocyclic, or substituted heterocyclic , 20 wherein a is 0 or 1 and b is from 0 to 3, R π is H or methyl, 25 R 12 is H or methyl; or R : . is CH_= and Q' is absent; or R n and R 12 are linked to form a 3- to 7-meπibered ring, R 13 is a bond or to Cr hydrocarbylene, 30 G is a bond, -CHOH- or -C(O)- Q' is as recited above for Q or -R 10 -(C(O) ) d -L-(C(0) ) e -R_ 3 (wherein R, and R 10 are as defined above, L is 0, S or -N(R 14 )- in which R 14 is as defined above for R 8 , and d and e are 0 or 1, provided that d+e<2) ; or Q' and R 12 , together with the carbon atom to which they are attached, form ' a 3- to 7-merribered ring, Q is as defined above; or Q and R 12 together form a group of the formula -(CH 2 ) f -V-(CH 2 ) g - wherein V is -S-, -S(O)-, -S(0) 2 -, -CH,-, -CHOH- or -C(0)-, f is from 0 to 2 and g is from 0 to 3; or, when Q' is -R 10 -U and U is an aromatic group, Q may additionally represent a methylene link to U, which link is σrfcfaσ to the R ]0 link to U, T is H, cyano, C j to C 4 alkyl, -CH 2 0H f carboxy, esterified carboxy or amidated carboxy; or wherein A and B are independently a bond or x to C 3 alkylene, provided that A and B together provide from 2 to 4 carbon atoms in the ring, R, and R 10 are as defined above, and R : c is as defined above for Rg or Z is absent and W is H, Ri is H, methyl, halo, carboxy, esterified carboxy, amidated carboxy, carboxymethyl, esterified carboxymethyl or amidated carboxymethyl, R 2 is selected from the groups recited above for R,; or, when Z is absent and is H, R_ nay additionally represent -C(0)-Z' wherein Z' is selected from the groups recited above for Z; or R α and R 2 together form a second bond between the carbon atoms to which they are attached, R 3 and R, (or each R 3 and j group, when m or n is 2 or more) are independently selected from halo, amino, nitro, cyano, sulphamoyl, to C 3 alkyl, C to C 3 alkoxy, carboxy, esterified carboxy and amidated carboxy Rς and Rg are independently selected from H and the groups recited above for R 3 m is from 0 to 4, provided that is not more than 2 unless R is exclusively halo, n is from 0 to 4, provided that n -is not more than 2 ■ unless R 4 is exclusively halo, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

As mentioned above, when m or n is 2 or more, each R-. and R 4 group is independent of the others. For exaπple, the compounds of the invention may include two different R 3 groups. Particularly preferred groups for R__ and R* are hydrogen and the v « i ggrroouuppss just recited for R 3 , and especially hydrogen, methyl and fluoro. V When reference is made herein to a "substituted" aromatic group, the substituents will generally be from 1 to 3 in number (and more usually 1 or 2 in number) , and selected from the groups recited 10 above for R 3 . An "esterified" carboxy group, as the term is used herein, is preferably of the form -CCOR lfc , wherein R ϊo is C- ; to C 5 alkyl, phenyl, substituted phenyl, benzyl, substituted benzyl, or one of 15 the following: Most commonly, R 16 is C, to C 5 alkyl, benzyl or substituted benzyl, and particularly C, to C 5 alkyl.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the acidic compounds of the invention include salts with alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, and salts with organic bases. Suitable organic bases include amines such as N-methyl-D-glucamine. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the basic coπpounds of the invention include salts derived from organic or inorganic acids. Suitable acids include hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid and citric acid. The coitpounds of the invention exist in various enantiomeric and diastereomeric forms as a result of the asymmetric carbon atoms to which W and X are attached. It will be understood that the invention cαπprehends the different enantio ers and diastereomers in isolation from each other, as well as mixtures of enantiomers and diastereomers. Also, the structural formulae herein show.the groups W and X arranged cis to each other, but it will be appreciated that the invention includes the corresponding trans isomers. Compounds according to the present invention in which W is a carbonyl group, X is carbonyl or sulphonyl, and Z is OH may conveniently be made by the process depicted in Reaction Scheme A. Reaction Scheme A In this scheme, anthracene or an anthracene derivative (1) is reactedwith the acid anhydride (2) in a Diels-Alder reaction. .The reactants are conveniently refluxed together in a suitable solvent such as toluene to form the adduct (3) . In some cases, it may be appropriate to conduct the reaction at elevated pressure and/or in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. The adduct (3) is then reacted with a-compound of the formula YH (ie. either an alcohol or an ' amine) to form the acid cαrrpound (4) . If YH is an amine, the reaction is suitably carried out in a solvent such as THF in .the presence of a catalytic amovint of DMAP. If YH is an alcohol, the reaction may be conducted in pyridine at elevated temperature. The invention therefore also provides a method of making compounds wherein W is carbonyl and X is carbonyl or sulphonyl, said method including the step of reacting a coπpound of the formula with a compound of formula YH. The equivalent trans adducts can be prepared using a suitably differentiated fumaric acid (eg the mono- methyl mono benzyl diester) , which, after addition to anthracene or an anthracene derivative (1) , allows independent elaboration of the two sidechains. 10 Coitpounds in which Z is other than OH may of course be made from the acid compound (4) by conventional esterification or amidation reactions. Suitable amidation methods are described in detail in "The Peptides, Vol. 1", Gross and Meinenhofer, Eds., Academic 15 Press, N.Y., 1979. These include the carbodiimide method (using, for example, 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide [DCC] or l-(3- dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride [EDCI] ,. and optionally an additive such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole [HOBT] to prevent racemization) , the azide method, the mixed anhydride 20 method, the symmetrical anhydride method, the acid chloride method, the use of bis (2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl) phosphinic chloride [BOP-C1] , the use of PyBOP, the use of the isopropenylsuccinimido carbonate method and the active ester method (using, for example, N-hydroxysuccinimide esters, 4-nitrophenyl esters or 25 2,4,5-trichlorophenol esters). The coupling reactions are generally conducted under an inert atmosphere, such as an atmosphere of nitrogen or argon. Suitable solvents for the reactants include methylene chloride, 30 tetrahydrofuran [THF] , dimethoxyethane [DME] and dimethylfonrBmide [DMF] . A procedure analogous to that shown in reaction scheme A may also be used as the basis for preparing the compounds of the invention in which W is sulphonyl and Y is R 7 -0-, as depicted in reaction scheme B below: Reaction Scheme B In this case, the Diels-Alder adduct (6) is opened with an alcohol such as benzyl alcohol (represented as QOH) , so that product (7) is the corresponding sulphonyl ester. The free carboxylic acid group of this sulphonyl ester may then be esterified by conventional methods, followed by hydrogenolysis of the product (8) to yield the desired sulphonic acid carboxylic ester (9) . The compounds of the invention in which W is sulphonyl and Y is R 7 -NH- may be prepared by analogous means, in which cσπpound (7) is amidated (rather than esterified) prior to hydrogenolysis. Alternatively, a process such as is depicted in reaction scheme C may be employed: Reaction Scheme C In this scheme, anthracene or an anthracene derivative (1) is reacted with the N-protected compound ( 10 ) in a Diels-Alder reaction analogous to that of the first step in reaction scheme A. The deprotected product Diels-Alder adduct (11) is then reacted with a cσπpound of the formula R 7 -Hal (wherein Hal represents a halogen atom) to form compound (12) . The N-containing ring may then be openedusing an alkoxide (eg. sodiummethoxide inmethanol) to produce the target compound (13) . The invention therefore also provides a method of making compounds wherein W is sulphonyl and Y is R 7 -NH-, said method comprising the step of reacting a coπpound of the formula with a coπpound of the formula R,-Hal, and then reacting the product with an alkoxide. Compounds of the invention wherein W or X is a sulphinyl group may conveniently be prepared by the route shown in reaction scheme D: Reaction Scheme D Reaction scheme D is analogous to reaction scheme C, except that the sulphinyl analogue of coπpound (10) is used in the Diels-Alder reaction, to yield the sulphinyl analogue of adduct (12) . This can then be opened both ways to give on the one hand the sulphinamide acid alkyl ester (17) , and on the other the sulphinic acid amide (18) . The free sulphinamide acid can of course be obtained from the alkyl ester (12) by conventional methods. Accordingly, the invention also provides a method of making coitpounds wherein W or X is sulphinyl, said method comprising the step of reacting a compound of the formula: with a compound of the formula R 7 -Hal, and then reacting the product with an alkoxide. While reaction schemes C and D above lead, to the free sulphonic or sulphinic acid coπpounds, it will, be appreciated that the corresponding ester or amide derivatives can be prepared from the free acid coπpounds by conventional methods. Most usually, coupling of the sulphonic or sulphinic acid coπpounds will be via the corresponding sulphonic or sulphinic acid chlorides. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the acidic or basic compounds of the invention can of course be made _~y conventional procedures, such as by reacting the free base or acid with at least a stoichiometric amount of the desired salt-forming acid or base. The coπpounds of the invention can be administered by oral or parenteral routes, including intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, rectal and topical administration. For oral administration, the compounds of the invention will generally be provided in the form of tablets or capsules or as an aqueous solution or suspension. Tablets for oral use may include the active ingredient mixed with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as inert diluents, disintegrating agents, binding agents, lubricating agents, sweetening agents, flavouring agents, colouring agents and preservatives. Suitable inert diluents include sodium and calcium carbonate, sodium and calcium phosphate, and lactose, while corn starch and alginic acid are suitable disintegrating agents. Binding agents may include starch and gelatin, while the lubricating agent, if present, will generally be magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. If desired, the tablets may be coated with a material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, to delay absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Capsules for oral use include hard gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with a solid diluent, and soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil such as peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil. For intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous and intravenous use, the coπpounds of the invention will generally be provided in sterile aqueous solutions or suspensions, buffered to an appropriate pH and isotonicity. Suitable aqueous vehicles include Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride. Aqueous suspensions according to the invention may include suspending agents such as cellulose derivatives, sodium alginate, polyvinyl- pyrrolidone and gum tragacanth, and a wetting agent such as lecithin. Suitable preservatives for aqueous suspensions include ethyl and n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate. The invention is now further illustrated by means of the following examples.

The coitpounds of the examples were tested for binding at the CCKβ receptor in mouse cortical membranes by means of a radioligand binding assay. Ihe procedure was as follows: The whole brains from male mice (CD1 22-25g; Charles River) were removed and placed in ice-cold buffer (pH7.2 @ 21 ± 3°C) of the following composition (nM) ; 10 HEPES, 130 NaCl, 4.7 KC1, 5 MgCl 2 , 1 EDTA and containing O^Sg.l "1 bacitracin. The cortex was dissected, weighed and homogenised in 40ml ice-cold buffer using a Teflon-in-glass homogeniser. Ihe homogenate was centrifuged at 39,800g for 20 min at 4°C, the supernatant discarded and the pellet resuspended by hα ogenisation in fresh buffer. Ihe homogenate was recentrifuged (39,800g; 20 min @ 4°C) and the final pellet was resuspended in HEPES buffer to give a tissue concentration of 2mg.ml ~1 (original wet weight) . The membranes (400ml) were incubated for 150 min at 21 ± 3°C in a final volume of 0.5ml with HEPES buffer containing [ 125 I]-CCK8S (0.05ml; 200pM NEN 2200Ci.mtιol "1 ) and competing ccmpound. Total and non-specific binding of [ 125 I]-CCK8S were defined using 0.05ml of buffer and 0.05ml of lOπM L-365,260, respectively. The assay was terminated by rapid filtration through pre-soaked Whatman GF/B filters using a Brandell Cell harvester. The filters were washed (3 x 3ml) with ice-cold 50τrM Tris-HCl (pH7.4 @ 4°C) and bound radioactivity determined by counting (1 min.) in a gamma-counter.

The procedure was as follows: The oesophagus of imtBture rats (33-50 g, ca. 21 days old) was ligated at the level of the cardiac sphincter and the duodenal sphincter was cannulated. The stcπach was excised and flushed with ca. 1 ml of unbuffered physiological saline solution. The fundus was punctured and cannulated. A further 4-5 ml of unbuffered solution was flushed through the stomach to ensure the preparation was not leaking. The stcπach was lowered into a jacketed organ bath containing 40 ml of buffered solution containing 3 10 " ^ 5-methylfurmethide, πaintained at 37° and gassed vigorously with 95% C^/ 5% CPz- The stomach was continuously perfused at a rate of 1 ml min "1 with unbuffered solution gassed with 100%. __ with the perfusate passing over an internally referenced pH-electrode fixed 12 cm above the stomach. After 120 min of stabilisation the drugs were added directly to the serosal solution in the organ bath and after a further 60 min - cumulative pentagastrin dose-response curves were started. Changes in acid secretion were monitored and the curves analysed according to Black et.al., Br. J. Pharmacol., 1985, .86, 581. The results obtained from the gastrin assays are set out in Table 2. TABLE 2 (continued) The coπpounds of the exanples were also tested in a CCK^ binding assay as follows: The pancreatata were removed from male guinea-pigs (200-300g; Dunkin Hartley) and placed in ice-cold HEPES buffer (pH 7.2 @ 21 ± 3 ' ) . The pancreatata were homogenised in 40 ml ice-cold HEPES buffer using a polytron (Brinkmann, PT10, setting 10).4 x 1 second. The homogenate was centrifuged at 39,800g for 15 min at 4'. The supernatant was discarded and the pellet re-suspended using a Teflon-in-glass hαmogeniser in 20 volumes of fresh buffer and re- centrifuged as above. Ihe final pellet was re-suspended using a Teflon-in-glass hαmogeniser to a tissue concentration of 1 mg.ml "1 (original wet weight) , and filtered through 500 μm pore-size Nytex mesh. The membranes (400μl; containing 0.375 μM PD134,308) are incubated for 150 minutes at 21 ± 3' in a final volume of 0.5ml with HEPES buffer containing [ 125 I]-CCK 8 (S) (50μl; 200pM) and competing cαπpound. Total and non-specific binding of [ 125 I] -CCKa(S) are defined using 50μl of buffer and 50μl of lOOnM L-364,718 respectively. The assay is terminated by rapid filtration through pre-soaked Whatman GF/B filters using a Brandell Cell Harvester. The filters were washed (3 x 3ml) with ice-cold 50mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4 at 4 * ) and bound radioactivity is determined by counting (1 min) in a gamma counter. The results are set out in Table 3.
