Description: DESCRIPTION THERMOGENIC COMPOSITION AND BENZAZEPINE THERMOGENICS Technical Field The present invention relates to a medicine and, more particularly, to a thermogenic agent ( thermogenesis accelerator) for use as a prophylactic and/or treating drug for obesity and obesity-associated disease and its active compound, namely an aminoketone derivative or a salt thereof. BACKGROUND ART As treating drugs for obesity, centrally-acting anorexics such as mazindol have been used clinically. However, central anorexics have gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea and vomiting in addition to central side effects such as addiction and, therefore, are indicated only in limited cases, e.g. advanced obesity. On the other hand, β3 adrenergic receptor agonists have been proposed as peripherally r acting antiobesity drugs [Nature, 309. 163-165, 1984; J. Med. Chem., 35., 3081-3084, 1992, etc.]. However, mutations of the β3 adrenergic receptor gene have been reported in a fairly large number of obese persons (New Engl . J. Med., 333 , 343-347, 1995; Lancet, 34j6, 1433-1434, 1995; Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 215. 555-560, 1995) and it is logical to assume that the antiobesity effect of any β3 adrenergic receptor agonist is self-limited. As synthetic drugs, aminoketone derivatives having a variety of biological and pharmacological activities have been proposed (Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 140149/1993, WO 9307140, EP 560235, EP 562832, Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 169569/1990, US 5106856, Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 22333/1979, Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 167546/1984, EP-A-0378207 , Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 206875/1994, Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 206854/1995, Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 309835/1995, WO 9103243, Khim.-Farm., Zh. , 21, 569, (1987), Chem.

Experimental Example 1 Assay of intraadipocellular cAMP concentration- increasing activity in murine preadipocyte line 3T3-L1 The intraadipocyte cAMP concentration-increasing activity of the above compound (I) was determined in an assay system using murine preadipocyte line 3T3-L1. Thus, 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were seeded onto a 96-well microtiter plate (10,000 cells/well) and cultured for 5-6 days until a confluent growth was formed. Thereafter, the adipocytes were further cultured for 72 hours. The test compound (I) (10 "5 M, 10 "6 M, 10 "7 M, 10 "8 M, and 10 " M) was then added and the plate was allowed to sit at 37 °C for 40 minutes. The cells were washed with 3 portions of phosphate buffer at 4°C (100 μl/well). Then, 0.1 N hydrochloric acid was added and the cells were denatured at 95°C for 10 minutes. From each well, 25 μl was aspirated and dissolved in 75 μl of the assay buffer included in Cyclic AMP Enzyme Immunoassay Kit (Kayman Chemical Company, USA) . Using a 50 μl portion as the sample, cAMP was assayed using the above- mentioned Kit. Thus, using a 96-well microtiter plate precoated with anti-rabbit IgG mouse antibody, the above sample (50 μl ) as well as the Cyclic AMP Tracer (50 μl) and Cyclic AMP Rabbit Antibody (50 μl) from the Kit were added and the plate was incubated at room temperature for 18 hours. After asperation, the plate was washed with 4 portions of the wash buffer (400 μl/well) . Then, 200 μl of the color reagent included in the Kit was added to each well and the plate was incubated at room temperature with shaking for 60 minutes. After completion of the reaction, the absorbance was measured at 405 nm to quantitate the cAMP. The assayed values of cAMP at the 10 "5 M, 10 "6 M, 10 " 7 M, 10 "8 M, and 10 " M levels of the test compound are shown in Tables 8 to 13. Each value is the mean result of 4 experiments.

After dosing, 50 μl of blood was successively drawn from the suborbital vein (immediately before dosing and 45, 90, and 240 minutes after dosing) . Each blood sample was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 minutes and the serum was separated. The serum free fatty acid concentration was determined using NEFA C-Test Wako (Wako Pure Chemical Industries).

Then, 120 μl of Color Reagent B from the Kit was added and, after mixing, the plate was further allowed to sit at 37 °C for 10 minutes.

Reference Example 6 [ l-[ ( 4-Nitrobenzyl)oxycarbonyl]-4- piperidinyl ]butyric acid A mixture of ( l-acetyl-4-piperidinyl ) butyric acid (11.6 g, 54.4 mmol) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (30 ml) was refluxed for 16 hours, at the end of which time the hydrochloric acid was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was washed with ether and dissolved in 5N-NaOH/H 2 0 (30 ml), followed by addition of ether (30 ml). To this mixture with ice- bath cooling was added p-nitrobenzyl chlorocarbonate (11.7 g, 54.3 mmol) in small portions, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. This reaction mixture was acidified with 10% hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated NaCl/H 2 0 and dried over MgS0 4 , and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residual oil was treated with ether to provide the title compound (13.5 g) as colorless powders . l E NMR (CDC1 3 +D 2 0) δ .1.00-1.79 (9H, m) , 2.36 (2H, t, J=7.3Hz), 2.65-2.95 (2H, m) , 4.06-4.24 (2H, m) , 5.22 (2H, s), 7.51 (2H, d, J=8.8Hz), 8.22 (2H, d, J=8.8Hz).
